This conference will focus on underwater acoustic measurements, the applied technologies and the results obtained. As many theoretical and computational predictions are available in the field of underwater acoustics, and as several important experimental studies ranging from model scale tests in laboratories to full scale tests at sea have been performed over the past or are planned to take place in the near future, it is timely to review the whole field of underwater acoustic measurements. This shall not exclude inputs from theoretical or computational underwater acoustics, but emphasis of this conference will be on underwater acoustic measurements.

Period for conference:
Tuesday 28th June through Friday 1st July 2005

Conference venue
The conference will be held at Foundation for Research and Technology - HELLAS, Heraklion, Crete, Greece.

Exhibition
An exhibition by leading international manufacturers of state-of-the-art technologies, equipment and services for underwater acoustic measurements, surveys and control of underwater processes will be arranged in the central area of the conference space. As the conference participants include several decision makers in exploitation of underwater acoustics, the exhibition forms a very important opportunity for manufacturers of hard- and software and for providers of consulting and scientific services to meet with their customers.

Who should attend
Scientists and engineers from universities, research institutes, government organizations and industry dealing with aspects of underwater acoustics. Representatives for naval material commands and procurement offices. The conference will provide a forum for exchange of recent research results, for discussion of future challenges in implementation and application of underwater acoustic technologies, and the conference will display the latest advances in instrumentation.
