Dear Participants

The organizers of the International Scientific and Technical Conference NSHP-SEALS 2027 are honored to invite you to participate in the next edition of the conference, which will be held on May 19-21, 2027, in Wrocław.

The conference is a continuation of the tradition of meetings between the scientific and industrial communities organized continuously since 1965. For over sixty years, the event has been a place for presenting scientific, technical, and implementation achievements in the field of fluid power and a forum for exchanging experiences between science and industry.

The aim of the conference is to present the latest scientific, research, and implementation achievements in the field of hydraulic and pneumatic drives, seals, centrifugal pumps, and valves, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to the digital transformation of industry. Particular attention will be paid to intelligent control systems, technical diagnostics, predictive maintenance, energy efficiency, and the use of artificial intelligence in fluid power. Furthermore, issues related to environmental protection, the circular economy, and reducing the impact of technical systems on humans and the natural environment will be discussed.

The organizers hope that the conference will contribute to the further integration of the scientific community with industry representatives, creating conditions for discussion, presentation of research results, and establishing scientific and economic cooperation. Traditionally, it will be a place for identifying current scientific and technical problems and jointly seeking innovative solutions.

Conference topics

• Innovation and technology development in the field of fluid power,
  including modern materials and technologies used in the construction of fluid system components.
• Modeling, testing, and diagnostics of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, seals, centrifugal pumps, and valves.
• Modern fluid power drives - modeling, simulation, and optimization of control systems.
• Energy saving in fluid power systems, energy efficiency, and the use of renewable energy sources.
• Identification and analysis of operational processes and reliability of technical systems, safety of use of fluid power systems and components.
• Environmental protection, ecological fluids, vibroacoustic issues and reducing the impact of technical systems on the surroundings.
• Robotization, automation, and autonomous control systems utilizing hydraulic and pneumatic drives.
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analysis in the design, control, and operation of fluid systems, the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in the design, operation, and management of technical infrastructure. Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 in fluid power.
• Future competencies (digitalization, AI) required for designers (operators) of drives, controls, and seals.

Submission of papers

Selected articles, upon receiving positive reviews, will be submitted for publication in the scientific and technical journal "Hydraulika i Pneumatyka" (Hydraulics and Pneumatics) and the quarterly "Kierunek Pompy" (Pump Direction).
Articles prepared in English, after passing the review process, will be published in the conference proceedings of the Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering series by Springer.

• Author can choose to work with word or latex. You can find the most recent template. Please also read the attached instructions for authors.
  1. The article should not exceed 10 pages.
• Please prepare the chapter in one-column format.
• Please add under the title the authors’ names, institution, country, city, country (no street or any other address part – neither a complete private address - should be added there, as this will show up on Springer webpage). Please see 3.1 of the attached instructions for authors.
• Each chapter should begin with an abstract that summarizes its content in no more than 200 words. The abstract will appear online at SpringerLink and be available with unrestricted access to facilitate online searching, using e.g. Google, and allow unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete chapter.
• For authors working with word: please avoid inserting equations as graphic files. Use the Math function of Word 2003 or 2007, MathType or Microsoft Equation Editor to create your equations.
• Please include all affiliations and e-mail addresses (or at least the email address of the corresponding author) in the chapter you submit to the book editors. The e-mail addresses will be used by SpringerNature to provide authors with a personal account where they can download a free copy of the eBook upon publication.
• Permissions for any material authors want to reuse from previous publication should be obtained by the corresponding publisher they want to reuse. Usually, authors can GET PERMISSION online by using RightsLink. In rare cases, they need to contact the publisher directly. Moreover, Springer is a STM signatory publisher. If authors wish to reuse materials published by another signatory publisher, they can check the corresponding guideline for permission.
• Springer self-archiving policy for non-open access book and chapters can be found. If this book is NOT an open access one, please check the policies for self-archiving of books and chapters published via the subscription route. Archiving of pre-print on a recognized server, up to one chapter per volume from the same author, is allowed for proceedings.
• Final Submission should include
  1. PDF of the accepted paper (only the final version, please remove any older version)
  2. Word or Latex files and also bib, images files (please include them also if images are included in the word file, we may need original jpeg of figures) – corresponding to the accepted paper. Please remove any older file/version
  3. Signed license to Publish (LTP). If the conference uses Meteor (Conference Submission system provided by Springer), you can sign the license in the system.
  4. Excel file with the alt text – please check the attached presentation and the sample excel file. There will also be instructions to create this in Meteor.
