International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

Sep 16, 2008 - Sep 19, 2008,
Sydney Masonic Centre, Sydney, New South Wales Australia

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is a vibrant and exciting field of human endeavour. KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in computer science, and they have led to significant advances in practical applications in a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering. Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines are an integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web technologies, the design of software agents and Bio-Informatics technologies, in particular, provide significant challenges for KR&R.

The KR conference series is a leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. We intend KR2008 to be a forum for the exchange of new ideas, issues, and results among the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R systems.

REACH, (Regulation, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals is one of the most important pieces of Producer Responsibility legislation to impact the European chemical industry and its supply chains. The legislation not only has major ramifications for chemical manufacturers, it also affects materials formulators and even end users of chemical products. REACH is changing the way many chemical products are manufactured and used and the legislation is likely to mean that some critical specialty materials will no longer be available. Complying with the requirements of REACH will be a costly and time-consuming exercise.

The REACH Europe 2008 conference in Antwerp is being specifically developed to inform all those impacted by REACH of the current status of the legislation and the developing requirements to enable REACH compliance in the most cost effective and efficient manner possible. Key themes will include;

* Has REACH impacted the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry?

* Has REACH proved a barrier to innovation?
* What testing is required and how is this being exchanged and submitted?
* Will REACH provide the basis for other similar legislation outside Europe?

Hotel JW Marriott Juhu Tara Road, Juhu Beach Mumbai, Maharastra India 400049

The India Insurance Market despite having a highly elaborate history spanning almost two centuries, has come of age only in the last 50 years after the formation of the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India in 1956 and the entry of private companies into the market in 2000.

The insurance sector in India has a full circle from being an open competitive market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Thus, India's market is currently the fifth largest in Asia. Thus the Indian insurance sector has been transformed since the insurance regulatory Development Authority (IRDA) Act of December 1999 opened the way of liberalization and reforms.

Since opening of the sector to private players, there has been a marked increase in the volume of business and the number of products on offer thus there was an increase in the premium of both life and non-life insurance. Therefore, looking ahead, fresh reforms and market development in the pipeline are set to fuel rapid growth in the insurance sector and are attracting further interest from new players, including international companies. Thus, the ever increasing population of the country will ensure constant boom in the India Insurance Market in the distant future.

Having an understanding of semiconductor processing technology is a must. To measure the downstream impact of equipment and materials problems, you need to know the fundamental steps in the process, from front end through final test. You need to be familiar with each step so you can support your customers and their problems.

This course covers semiconductor processing technology in detail, in a language you can understand. The course instructor presents the basics of wafer manufacturing for integrated circuit technology. To round out the picture, this seminar briefly ties in testing and packaging technology, device physics, CMOS transistor explanation, memory and logic, factory management, microcontamination, yield and much more. In-class team assignments enable you to practice what you learn. SEMI instructional videos are shown each day to help you visualize the wafer fab environment.

This is an introductory course with adequate time for questions. If you are new to the industry, you will feel comfortable asking the instructor to repeat things that you do not understand. You may have very specific technical questions about how your products relate to other parts of the wafer fab; the instructor, with two decades of hands-on engineering experience, enjoys taking the time to answer all of your questions. You may not understand all the technical answers to questions asked by others, but you will appreciate hearing the “buzz words” associated with the products that are produced by the other participants.

This course has been held at SEMI expositions and “in-house” at member companies since 1993. The course workbook is continuously updated with equipment photographs as samples of modern wafer manufacturing practice.

Fault Zones

Sep 16, 2008 - Sep 18, 2008,
The Geological Society (Burlington House) London,, England, United Kingdom

Faults play a crucial role in controlling strain accumulation in the Earth’s crust. At the largest scale they control the form and evolution of sedimentary basins and at the smallest scale, the development of fault zones results in a change in the mechanical and hydrological properties of the fault rocks, thereby impacting on their mechanical strength and permeability. With recent advances in subsurface, modelling and field-based studies, this conference aims to bring together a diverse range of scientists interested in fault growth, fault zone properties and their effects on other processes such as fluid flow and earthquake processes.
