conference in New Zealand 2000

====================================================================

Dear Colleagues,

This is a first announcement to inform you of an upcoming
conference....The First International Conference on Advanced
Materials Processing, Rotorua, New Zealand, 19-23 November 2000.

Scope of the Conference:

In the last few decades of the 20th century, research in advanced
materials processing has made a tremendous contribution to the
development of novel, high performance and low cost materials. Without
any doubt, in the new millennium, advanced materials processing will
continue to be one of the most active research areas in materials
science. To celebrate the historical achievement of scientists and
engineers in this crucially important area, we are organizing the
<bold>1st International Conference on Advanced Materials Processing
(ICAMP) in the very first year of the new millennium.

Sponsored by the Institute of Materials, UK, this conference
will provide a forum for international researchers to exchange their
recent findings and views in the area of advanced materials processing.
Internationally renowned experts in this area will be invited to give
keynote lectures to the conference.

During the conference, a workshop will also be organized to discuss
opportunities for international co-operation in research on advanced
materials processing.

Key dates:

Preliminary Title/Expression of Interest: Sept. 1 1999

Second Circular: October 1 1999

Abstract due by March 1 2000

The proceedings will be published in a hard-bound special edition book,
and all papers will be fully refereed to ensure that they are of the
highest standard.

The conference will be held in Rotorua, New Zealand. Rotorua
is in the central North Island, and holds many attractions, including the
world famous thermally active reserves.
