ABSTRACTS

IMPORTANT DATESVisualization of complex phenomena in material processing throughadvanced measurements and simulation provides us criticalinformation for acquiring scientific understanding of the mechanismthat assists to develop new technology. The International Symposium
on Visualization in Joining & Welding Science through Advanced
Measurements and Simulation (Visual-JW) was firstly held in 2010,
organized by Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), Osaka
University. The 5th international symposium (Visual-JW 2019) & the8th International Conference of Welding Science and Engineering(WSE 2019) are held aiming at further development of the research
field. Also, special Symposium on the Research Activities of Joint
Usage/Research Center on Joining and Welding will be held. We will
welcome participants from all over the world to this academic event.

On-line abstract submission will be available from May 7, 2019.
Abstracts of no more than 200 words must be submitted electrically by
no later than July 31, 2019. The paper title, author name(s) with theiraffiliation(s) and the abstract text should be entered. Do not include
drawings or photographs in the abstract. Detailed instructions will beprovided for on-line abstract submission through the symposium
website in the JWRI home page(http://www.jwri.osaka-u.ac.jp/~conf/Visual-JW2019andWSE2019).
Acceptance of an abstract for presentation will be based on a rigorous
review, and authors will be notified by August 9, 2019.

Deadline for abstract submission: July 31, 2019
Notification of abstract acceptance: August 9, 2019
Deadline for proceedings submission : September 30, 2019
Deadline for early registration: September 30, 2019
Full paper submission (option): November 22, 2019

PRESENTATIONS
The organizing committee will decide on the acceptance of the papers
as oral or poster presentation; however, authors can indicate theirpreference when submitting their abstracts. A number of invitedlectures will be scheduled. English will be the language for oral andposter presentations.
PUBLICATION
Authors are requested to submit a two-page paper for the symposium
proceedings after the notification of acceptance of the abstract. The
proceedings will be distributed to all attendees. Optionally, authors areinvited to submit full paper(s) for a special issue of Quarterly Journalof The Japan Welding Society (JWS) which will be published after thesymposium. A manuscript should be submitted to the registration desk
during the Visual-JW 2019. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed to ahigh standard. Instructions for publication will be sent to the primaryauthor after the decision to accept the abstract. The author must
additionally pay a publication fee of 50,000 JPY + Tax per one paper
for the special issue of Quarterly Journal of JWS after the decision toaccept for the publication.
