Primary objective

The main goal of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for educators, researchers, engineers and students to report results, improvements and new apporaches for education ,research and development activity in advanced materials, nanotechnologies and optoelectronics. Atom-n 2008 with its truly international character promotes the development of relationaships between former central and eastern Europe and with countries from all parts of the globe.

Main Topics

• advanced materials and new technologies;
• nanoscience and nanoengineering;
• photonics micro- and nanotechnologies;
• optical signal processing;
• diffractive and micro optics;
• photonic materials and devices;
• instruments, sensors and microsystems;
• smart sensor technology and measurement systems;
• nano-optics and nano-photonic devices;
• bio-electronics, bionanotechnology and molecular nanotehnology;

Deadlines

• First call for papers: 9 May, 2007
• Abstract submission: 30 Ianuarie, 2008
• Notification of acceptance: 30 April, 2008
• Submission of camera-ready papers and registration: 30 June, 2008

Submision of papers

Authors are invited to submit electronically previously unpublished papers relevant to the conference topics. Papers will be reviewed upon one short paper to be included in the Conference Procedings.

Authors should send a one page (A4) abstract of their work (in English only, in word or PDF format) using online submision system or e-mail address of the conference ( conference@atom-n2008.ro ). Each submission should present clearly the novelty and signifiance of the contribution, a list of reference, and any figures or tables. A template for preparing abstracts can be found here.
A template for preparing the final paper can be found here.

Paper abstract will be reviewed for tehnical merit, content, and clearness by a composed Reviewer Committee under the leadership of the Conference Chair. A printed version of the abstracts proceedings containing the accepted contributions will be available at the conference. All published abstracts and papers will be registered as SPIE publication. Authors are expected to present their papers at the conference. One author may not present more than three papers. However, it will be not possible to publish a paper without having presented it.

Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in the patent literature, and are indexed in numerous online databases including INSPEC, Ei Compendex, Physics Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, SPIN, International Aerospace Abstracts, ISI Index to Scientific and Technical Proceedings, and the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstract Service (ADS).

Presentation

Laptops and and data projector will be available for oral presentations, so it is welcome to give a Power Point or Acrobat presenation from floppy or cd. For those presenters who prefer to use transparencies, the new head projector will be available. The poster area will be approximately 80cm hight by 80cm wide.The organizers will provide necessary materials for hanging posters.
