Abstracts Submission
Please submit single spaced abstracts of up to 200 words to the Secretariat. The abstract should be in an MS
Word file and sent via e-mail as an attachment. Abstracts will be subject to peer review and, if approved, invitedfor presentation as regular papers (4–8 pages) or short papers (2–4 pages). Regular papers will be underfurther peer review prior to the final submission.

Congress Proceedings
The Proceedings will be published bearing an ISBN and distributed worldwide. Only papers presented by theauthors at congress will be included in the Proceedings. One copy of the Proceedings will be provided to eachconference delegate. Selected regular papers will be published in the International Journal of COMADEM afterthe event, which will be cited by EI Compendex and SCOPUS. Only papers written in GOOD ENGLISH will beaccepted in the Proceedings.

Exhibition and Visiting
Exhibition and poster sessions linked to the Congress theme form an integral part of the Congress program,where major suppliers of sensors, equipment, evaluation software, and services can present products andservices to participants from industrial and engineering companies, laboratories, research institutes, anduniversities. Participants have a chance to visit some corporations related to COMADEM in Japan.

Workshops and Tutorials
Workshops and tutorials are welcome. Workshops should focus on current research trends of specifictechnologies or applications. Tutorials should reflect the current state-of-the-art of a specific topic and bepresented by field experts. Please contact the organization as soon as possible.
