ACerS, AIST, ASM, TMS issue call for papers for Materials Science & Technology 2008 |
|
| (Nanowerk News) A call for abstracts has been issued for Materials Science & Technology (MS&T ’08), the leading forum addressing structure, properties, processing and performance throughout the global materials community. | |
| Organized by four leading societies – American Ceramic Society (ACerS), Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST), ASM International (ASM), and The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) – MS&T ’08 will be held Oct. 5-9 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. | |
| Every year, MS&T brings together 3,500 materials scientists, engineers, students, suppliers and others from around the world to learn about research and applications that are shaping the future of materials science and technology. | |
| MS&T ’08 will address eight dynamic and diverse themes: electronic and magnetic materials, environmental and energy issues, fundamentals and characterization, iron and steel, materials and systems, nanotechnology, processing and product manufacturing, and special topics. | |
| The technical program is organized by the MS&T ’08 Program Coordinating Committee, which is comprised of representatives from the partnering organizations that make this comprehensive forum possible: ACerS, AIST, ASM, and TMS. Program chair is Matthew Merwin, U.S. Steel Research and Technology Center. Committee members are Thomas Lienert, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Brian Nelson, Dofasco Inc.; Dwight Viehland, Virginia Tech University; and Richard Wright, Idaho National Laboratory. | |
| 150-word abstract submissions will be accepted online through March 17 at www.matscitech.org. For more information about the abstract submission process, contact Marilyn Stoltz at ACerS, [email protected] or tel. (614) 794-5868. | |
