Program

(ii) A tutorial program introducing the key science which underpins the research field aimed at postgraduate student level (also of relevance to students of laser processing more generally).

(iii) An industry focussed program covering the current industrial uptake of the technology and the potential for application in other industries.

(iv) Focus group discussions on international collaboration between Australian researchers and international delegates (particularly representatives of the EU countries). This element of the programme is partially dependent on a funding application outcome which will be known by July 2004).

A book will be published from the workshop including the tutorial and scientific program.

It will consist of three full-day oral sessions (basically divided equally between mechanistic studies and applications). Keynote and invited talks aim to provide an overview and/or significant advances of the field. There will also be several oral presentations. The meeting will conclude with a round-table discussion.

A video projector for computer presentations and an overhead projector will be available in the lecture room. Speakers, who wish to use a slide projector or other types of presentation equipment should contact the local organizing committee in advance.

Conference participants are encouraged to give oral presentations whenever possible. However there will be a poster session mainly for the purpose of giving research students an opportunity to show case their work. Poster dimensions should not exceed 95cm (width) x 130cm (height).

10.00 am Dr Bon Clark, Department of Mathematics, Macquarie University.

Heat equation for infinite slabs and for half-spaces, with a heat source applied to one face of the slab or half-space. Revision of the Fourier transform, FT applied to solving the slab and half-space problems for a general applied heat source (relevant to laser beam irradiated materials).
