S2P 2010 - 11th International Conference on Semi-Solid Processing of Alloys and Composites (S2P2010)

S2P2010 conference in Beijing will provide a good chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progresses in the area of semi-solid forming of alloys and composites. An abstract in English of about 300 - 400 words is expected. Abstracts have to be submitted at first through the conference email s2p2010-AT-mater.ustb.edu.cn before Dec.31th 2009. If the abstracts are accepted, the author will receive the login and password from the conference secretariat . Abstracts received after this date will not be considered. Revised papers must be submitted through the website by June 30th, 2010. Manuscripts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee. All accepted papers will be published by one renowned journal. The conference language is English.
