Call For Papers

Papers describing original work in the field of ultrasonics are being solicited for this conference. Both poster and oral presentation formats will be used at the symposium. Prospective authors should note that poster sessions provide an alternative format which allows for greater flexibility and expanded audience interaction.

Authors are required to concisely divide their abstract into three sections:

Background, Motivation and Objective
Statement of the Contribution/Methods
Results/Discussion

In these three sections authors must clearly explain the motivation and background, the contribution of the work, methods, and the results and conclusions of their research.
