Annual Seminar of Automation, Industrial Electronics and Instrumentation SAAEI 2012

The current edition of the Latin American Learning Technology Journal (IEEE-RITA: Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje) includes a selection of papers presented in the conference SAAEI 2012 (Seminario Anual de Automática, Electronica Industrial e Instrumentacion), held at Guimaraes (Portugal) in July 2012. The Annual Seminar of Automation, Industrial Electronics and Instrumentation, SAAEI, is a meeting for university researchers and industry experts to exchange ideas, share project results and concerns towards the promotion of new initiatives for future projects with a higher impact and effectiveness. This conference has an international character open to researchers worldwide. Although most of the attendees come from Spain and the language for most of the contributions is Spanish, there are also delegates from other countries, especially from Latin America. Among the contributions presented in the current edition, the two papers receiving the best marks and assessment results by the reviewers, both during the general review process and during the presentation and explanation of the works in the conference, were selected.
