The topics covered show actuality and rel- evance since, even considering the two years time lapse between imple- mentations, the participation has been kept with design and expectations and the quality of the works rather high. This year is not different, and we added an extra challenge of holding it offshore from main lands, in the beautiful Madeira island, Portugal. We got submissions from 1st authors coming from 33 countries all over the world, the top 3 are Por- tugal, Poland and Japan, with a total of 91 accepted papers with more than twenty five percent not meeting the conditions to reach the pro- gram. Also, we are counting with an amazing set if five brilliant keynote speakers who will help every participant to enlarge his horizons.
