3D Microstructure Meeting Saarbrücken, Germany, November 2nd - 4th, 2011 Across the different disciplines 3D microstructures are an exciting field of research. Materials scientists provide new insights to understand the formation of microstructures as well as its consequences for properties, which might create challenging theoretical problems for natural scientists but also computer scientists and mathematicians. Equally many of the recent advances in computer science and mathematics as well as natural sciences have found useful application in materials science and engineering. This meeting includes the activities of the workshop "3D Imaging, Analysis, Modelling and Simulation of Macroscopic Properties" organized by Fraunhofer ITWM (Katja Schladitz), Institut Carnot Ecole des Mines (Dominique Jeulin) and TU Kaiserslautern (Claudia Redenbach). Conference Chairs F. Mücklich muecke(a)matsci.uni-sb.de P. Slusallek slusallek(a)cs.uni-saarland.de K. Schladitz katja.schladitz(a)itwm.fraunhofer.de Topics This symposium promotes discussions and the free exchange of ideas at the research frontiers of 3D imaging and analysis of microstructures from the different scientific perspectives. It should provide a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual presentations at traditional meetings. It is addressed to material scientists, engineers, natural scientists, computer scientists and mathematicians, who want to share their ideas and experiences and discuss related topics from different perspectives. The symposium will cover areas like •Sampling and Data Acquisition •Visualization •Image Processing and Analysis •Geometric Models for Microstructures •Simulation of Macroscopic Properties •Tomographic Methods and Application in Materials Science Mark your calendar Abstract submission opening: April 1, 2011 Abstract submission closing: May 31, 2011 Conference: November 2-4, 2011 Contact http://www.3D-microstructure-meeting.de Conference management: Michael Engstler info(a)3D-microstructure-meeting.de Program Committee D.
