Systems 10 - 13 December 2006 University of Adelaide • Adelaide , Australia Technical Program / Final Summaries

Welcome! This symposium series follows the highly successful SPIE meetings around Australia over the past few years and gives you the opportunity for in-depth communication with researchers and developers in smart materials, smart structures, smart micro/nanoelectronics devices and systems, micro-and nano-technology with special emphasis on packaging and integration of MEMS and NEMS for diverse application areas. One full conference will give you access to the latest research on biomedical applications such as bio-surveillance systems. These fields are multidisciplinary and make extensive use of micro-and nanofabrication technologies. You will learn about exciting new developments in nanomaterials, sensors and actuators, as well as in the design and applications of these systems. This program would not have been possible without first the considerable dedication and efforts of the large team of people organizing this symposium, locally and overseas. Additionally, the high quality of this meeting is a direct result of the willingness of the many researchers who have taken the time and effort to communicate the findings of their research work in this international forum. We express our sincere thanks to everyone involved. SPIE would like to express its deepest appreciation to the program chairs, conference chairs, cochairs, program committees, and session chairs who have so generously given of their time and advice to make this symposium possible. The symposium, like our other conferences and activities, would not be possible without the dedicated contribution of our participants and members. This program is based on commitments received up to the time of publication and is subject to change without notice.
