META’08: Metamaterials for Secure Information and Communication Technologies
META’08
NATO Advanced Research Workshop
Metamaterials for Secure Information and Communication Technologies
7-10 May, 2008, Marrakesh - Morocco
On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to join us to the NATO Advanced Research Workshop: META’08, Metamaterials for Secure Information and Communication Technologies for a stimulating week in the beautiful city of Marrakesh in May 2008!
Prof. Said Zouhdi, NATO ARW Director
Metamaterials represent a truly multidisciplinary research area spanning the bridge from basic theoretical and experimental research at universities to industrial production of a diverse spectrum of electrical, microwave, infrared and optical materials and devices.
META’08 will cover a broad scope of topics ranging from the fundamental electromagnetic theory of metamaterials and related materials and structures to novel types of microwave and optical devices and components. Special attention will be given to applications of these innovative materials in secure wireless and optical communication systems, high-speed circuits, optical sensing, nanoscale imaging and cloaking.
META’08 program will include :
* Keynote lectures
* Invited talks
* Contributed oral and poster presentations
* Interactive round tables
META’08 topics include, but are not limited to:
*Fundamental and applied aspects of waves in structured, periodic and disordered metamaterials.
* Electromagnetic properties of complex materials including photonic and plasmonic band gap materials, negative-index materials and novel composites with unusual electromagnetic properties.
* Modelling, fabrication and characterization of complex materials and surfaces.
* Metamaterials technologies and applications.
META’08 will be the foremost place to learn about the most important developments in the field of Metamaterials.
