The conference will include plenary sessions with invited keynote lectures. A prominent series of structured oral sessions with invited papers given by leading international scientists will be organized by key persons actively engaged themselves in the fronts of research in underwater acoustics. Moreover, most recent research results will be presented in contributed papers forming basis for regular oral and poster sessions. All papers presented at the conference will be published in proceedings to be made available to all registered participants on the first day of the conference.

Plenary lectures will be given by:

  • Professor Nick Makris, Dept. Ocean Engineering, MIT, USA.
    Title of Paper: Continuously monitoring fish populations over continental-shelf scales with Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS).

  • Professor Hiroyuki Hachiya, Chiba University, Japan.
    Title of Paper: Ocean Acoustic Tomography Experiments in Japan.

  • Dr. F.-R. Martin-Lauzer, NATO Undersea Research Centre, La Spezia, Italy.
    Title of paper: Near future evolution of S&T and R&D funding in Underwater Acoustics.

  • Professor Uwe Send,Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Univ. California, San Diego, USA.
    Title of paper: To be announced.

The following Structured Sessions on topics of current interest in underwater acoustics are at the moment being organized:

Conference participants interested in presenting an invited paper on topics in the list above are encouraged to contact the specific Structured Session organizer on his/her e-mail address.

All abstracts of papers to be presented in a Structured Session must be sent to the Conference Secretariat in Heraklion using the template for abstracts that will be made available on the conference website in August 2006. Abstracts of papers for a Structured Session must indicate to which Structured Session they are related.
