Preface

The emergence of new business models based on innovation, cooperation networksand the enhancement of endogenous resources are assumed to be a strong contri-bution to the development of competitive economies.

Regional Helix 2018 was an event that, according to the Smart EntrepreneurialEcosystems logic, was based on not only purely academic but also technologicaland entrepreneurial dimensions, across the most diverse sectors of activity.

The objective of this conference was to show the set of entrepreneurial andinfrastructural capacities as well as to transmit to all participants an overview aboutpotentiating the foundations for the creation of networks of knowledge and entre-preneurial cooperation, involving Engineering, Innovation and Entrepreneurshipstakeholders.

This edition of the Regional Helix 2018 conference, the 3rd conference in thesuccessful series of conferences on Innovation, Engineering and Entrepreneurship,was organized at School of Engineering of University of Minho, by MEtRICs andAlgoritmi Research Centres.

This edition was especially focused on Knowledge and Technology Transferfrom Academia to Industry and Society, highlighting and proposing solutions forsome main problems related to industrial and societal challenges, having as maintarget the creation of added value for real economy.

A wide range of topics were covered by the papers published in this volume.They were distributed among the topics: Control, Automation and Robotics;Mechatronics Design, Medical Devices and Well-being; Cyber-Physical Systems,IoT and Industry 4.0; Innovations in Industrial Context and AdvancedManufacturing; New Trends in Mechanical Systems Development; AdvancedMaterials and Innovative Applications; Waste to Energy and SustainableEnvironment; Operational Research and Industrial Mathematics; Innovation andCollaborative Arrangements; Entrepreneurship and Internationalization; andOriented Education for Innovation, Engineering and/or Entrepreneurship.

We would like to thank the support of the Organizing Committee and theinvaluable contributions of the Scientific Committee members, external reviewers,invited speakers and session chairs. A special appreciation is given to Springer’s

v

team who support this edition. Last but not least, we want to thank the authors, forwhom and by whom this event was made to happen.

The 224 papers submitted to the conference were peer-reviewed by the ScientificCommittee. Based on the reviewers’ ratings, 160 submissions were accepted forpublication after following the reviewers’ recommendations.

We believe that the papers in this volume show expressively how Innovation,Engineering and Entrepreneurship can be used to support the scientific community.
