Synopsis

Optical systems have a proven track record of application in Europe’s manufacturing and production industries. As technical developments accelerate, optical systems are becoming more and more sophisticated, and complex applications are being tackled now that would never have been considered previously. Many of these techniques are now being transferred and exploited in the oil, gas and renewable energy sectors. In this Topical Meeting we will address fundamental aspects of optical systems engineering and their application in the energy and production industries. We will discuss proven technologies but also would like to encourage authors to present their new ideas, new applications and those that extend the application of optics to its limits. We are especially interested in papers that apply optics in hazardous or difficult industrial and field environments. In the offshore oil and gas sectors, optical processing or non-destructive evaluation is beginning to gain prominence as its advantages for non-destructive or non-intrusive evaluation become better known. The renewable energy sector is beginning to bring new problems to our attention for which optical measurement and materials processing offer new solutions.
 
During EOSAM 2012 in Aberdeen, this Topical Meeting will complement the accompanying exhibition and provide both academics and industrialists a forum for presentation of new trends in optical systems R&D.

Topics 

Special sessions will highlight work directly addressing the needs of the energy and production industries, and presentations from those engaged directly in these areas will be particularly welcome. Some of the technical topics that we expect to feature are listed below. Such papers should focus on their application in the energy and production industries.

Abstract submission

Opening of submission 2 April 2012
Deadline for abstract submission 7 May 2012
Notification to authors 8 June 2012
 
Abstracts can only be submitted online via www.old.myeos.org/events/eosam2012. Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract of a minimum of one page and a maximum of two pages with at least one figure. The abstract must be formatted according to the EOS abstract guidelines, which can be downloaded at www.old.myeos.org/system/files/events/abstractguidelines.pdf. 
 
Contributions will be accepted for oral and poster presentation. Please indicate your preference. All accepted contributions are to be published on the EOSAM 2012 digest CD-ROM (ISBN numbered) which will be available on-site. At least one author is requested to register for the meeting separately from abstract submission. The registration includes admission to all Topical Meetings, the workshop, special events and the exhibition.
 
 

Springer Award for Students

The two best student presentations (oral and poster) will be awarded a diploma, an EOS student membership and a book sponsored by Springer.
