Scope and the history of this Symposium
The Symposium on Phase Change Oriented Science (Predecessor: The Symposium on Phase
Change Optical Information Storage), will greet the 28th meeting this year. This Symposiumprovides you an opportunity to collectively discuss the advance of Phase change recording
technology for each year regarding the crystallization mechanism, recording material,
structure, device and application about recording in the phase change method, etc. Widephase change phenomena including the phase change non-volatile memory (Ovonic memoryand PRAM), which is the beginning of the phase change research, is also put in view.
The symposium will be held as a forum to discuss basic and applied phase change
technology and science. We would like to brighten up this symposium with active discussion
and the exhibition of phase change materials related devices to provide a good venue forexchanging information.
Topics to be ConsiderredThis symposium provides a forum for the scientific and technical community to exchange
information on phase change phenomena, the status of phase change recording (i.e. Opticalmemory, Ovonic memory or PRAM) device, system and applications. Discussion will cover abroad range of topics from basic theory to manufacturing issues.

Preparation of Abstract
Each author is requested to submit one page abstract of the A4-size with at least one table orfigure (Template can be downloaded from PCOS website). All of contributed papers covering
original unpublished work within the scope of the symposium will be accepted for presentation.
The scheduling for presentation will be determined by above sheets when the programcommittee meets to review them in the end of September. Accepted abstract will be appeared on
PCOS website.
Abstracts must be received by

31st August, 2016.
