Proceedings to be published as a special book by TMS.

The ICOMAT-08 conference proceedings will use a 8.5" x 11", 2-column format for the hardbound conference proceedings published by TMS. Templates (containing detailed instruction in both Word and LaTeX format) can be downloaded at:

http://www.tms.org/pubs/Books/Instructions/TC_InstructionsPlus.html

(We will add ICOMAT to the publication list on that page). Note that the completed manuscripts should be directly emailed to: proceedings@tms.org.

We will create a "tracking" spreadsheet and post each manuscript, as received, on a central FTP site (address of the site to be posted later) for access and review.

Invited papers will have a maximum of 10 pages, Oral contributions 8 pages and posters 6 pages.
