Announcement and Call for Papers
International Symposium on Computer-Aided Welding
Engineering
19－22
October, 2006, Jinan, China
Organized by the Institute
for Materials Joining at Shandong University in China
Computer-aided
Welding Engineering Commission of China Welding Society
State
Key Lab of Advanced Welding Production Technology at HIT
China
Welding Society
Sponsored by The National Natural Science Foundation of China
Shandong University
With
rapid development of computer technology and information technology, the extent
and degree of computers’ application in welding science and engineering are expanding
continuously so that a frontier of computer-aided welding engineering is
formed. Large amount of creative achievements are going on to emerge in the
following areas: real-time sensing and control of welding processes; modeling
and simulation of welding processes; off-line programming, remote operation and
process monitoring of robotic welding; database and expert system based
computerization and intelligence of welding production process information,
which all have been changing with each passing day.
The year 2006 is the 20th anniversary of foundation of the Computer-Aided Welding Engineering Commission of Chinese Welding Society. To mark this important event, the International Symposium on Computer-Aided Welding Engineering is planned to discuss the state of the arts and future of sensing, modeling and control of welding processes in the century of information technology.
SYMPOSIUM TOPICS:
1. Modeling and Simulation of Welding Processes;
2. Sensing, Modeling and Control of Welding Processes;
3. Advanced Welding Technology and Automation;

Jinan is the capital city of Shandong Province on China’s east coast. It is
situated like a gem between Mt. Taishan (the first of the “Five Sacred
Mountains” in China) in the south and Yellow River (the soul of the Chinese
Nation) to the north. Jinan enjoys the reputation of “the City of Springs”
because there are many natural springs in the city. Jinan has a history of
2,600 years. It is named as the Famous
Historical & Cultural City and one of Excellent Tourism Cities by the National Tourism Administration
Board of China. In downtown region taking the City of Springs Square as center, there are three big scenic spots
which are most famous over all the country, i.e., Baotu Springs, the
Thousand-Buddha Mountain and Daming Lake. In the suburbs, there are
over twenty places famous for its scenery or historical relics, and among them,
Red Leaves Valley and Baimo
Springs are the most fascinating spot.
Mount Taishan, 50 km away from Jinan: Mount Taishan is the
most famed of the five famous mountains in China and symbolizes the Chinese
Spirit. Since the Qin Dynasty (221BC ~ 206 BC), Mount Taishan, as the royal
object of cult, was the venue where past emperors used to worship Heaven and
Earth. Countless literati have left inscriptions and steles there, giving it
the reputation as "A Natural Museum of History and Art" of modern
times.
The town of Qufu has three basic attractions: the
Temple (built around the house that Confucius grew up in, the largest Confucian
temple in the world), and the Confucius Family Mansion where the descendants of
Confucius lived a nobility, and the "Confucian Forest".
