AMCTM Conferences - Tables of contents  10/18/2004 6:51:04 PM
 

Articles presented in the AMCTM books
from 1993 to 2006

The Series of Conferences on Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology (AMCTM), started with a Workshop of Turin in 1993, followed with the "EuroConferences" funded by the European Union in Oxford (1995), Berlin (1996), Oxford (1999) and Lisboa (2000), and continued with International Conferences funded under the European Union Project "SofTools_MetroNet" in Turin (2003) and Lisboa (2005). The VIII will be held by IMEKO TC21 in Paris, organised by the Collège Francais de Métrologie (CFM).

Papers based on the Conference presentations have been published on seven books of the Series "Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology", published by World Scientific Publishing Co, Singapore

The list of published articles is reported here.
