Scope and Format
The European Magnetic Sensors and Actuators Conference (EMSA) is already a well known European forum that serves to assess the status, recent progress, and development in the field of magnetic sensor technology and magnetic actuators. It was first held in 1996 in Iasi-Romania and since then has continued every two years in Sheffield-UK, Dresden-Germany, and Athens-Greece. The aim of the conference is to generate an overview of research in magnetic sensors and actuators, to recognise their relevance in modern industry and to identify potential future collaborations. EMSA 2004 provides an excellent opportunity to bring together scientists and engineers from universities, research institutes and industry to present and discuss their most recent results covering both fundamental and applied aspects of magnetic sensors and actuators.

Abstract Submission Deadline-March 1, 2004
The 2004 International Conference on Ferrites (ICF) is the ninth in a series of conferences that provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest scientific and technological developments in ferrites (magnetic ceramics) and related materials. The International Advisory Committee and the U. S. Organizing Committee are pleased to announce that for the second time in its history, the conference (ICF9) will be held in San Francisco, California.
The eight previous conferences were held in Kyoto, Japan (1970, 1980, and 2000), Tokyo, Japan (1992), Bellevue, France (1976), San Francisco, U.S.A. (1984), Bombay, India (1989), and Bordeaux, France (1996). The last conference in 2000 attracted over 500 attendees from 30 countries and had a technical program of 312 papers (oral and poster).

EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
MAGNETIC MATERIALS, PROCESSES AND DEVICES
Part of the 206th Meeting of The Electrochemical Society
October 3-8, 2004, Honolulu, Hawaii
Call for Papers
Magnetic thin films play important roles in data recording systems, sensors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and other devices. New knowledge continues to be acquired in magnetic film processing including: film nucleation and growth, structure of deposits, stress and micromagnetics of films, thermal and magnetic annealing, electrochemical and electroless plating systems, etching, process chemistry, tool design, process control, etc. Our understanding of the correlations between deposition parameters, film composition, structure, properties and device performance also continues to improve.
The purpose of the symposium is to bring together electrochemists, physicists, engineers, and device designers who are working in the area of magnetic thin-film technology to review the present state of the field and to point out fruitful new areas for research. Materials of interest include Fe, Ni, Co, and their alloys, as well as laterally patterned, laminated or compositionally modulated structures, including nanowires and self-organized films.
The symposium will further cover subjects specific to the fabrication of thin-film heads, microelectro mechanical systems, micromotors, and other magnetic devices. The symposium will include invited review or tutorial papers and contributed papers.
Publication of a Proceedings Volume to be available after the Meeting is provisionally planned.
Acceptance of a paper in this symposium (oral or poster) obliges the authors to submit a camera-ready copy of the full proceedings volume manuscript at the meeting. Instructions for preparing the manuscript will be sent out by the symposium organizers after the notification of acceptance is distributed by the ECS Headquarters Office. Abstracts, suggestions, and inquiries should be sent electronically to ECS Headquarters and the symposium organizers. Abstracts must be received at ECS Headquarters by June 1, 2004.
