Original and critical review papers are solicited for Thin Films 2004 and Nanotech 2004 with respect to the following interest areas, but not limited to:

Optoelectronic thin films Magnetic and electronic thin films MEMS thin films Smart thin films (PZT, SMA, etc) Diamond and nitride thin films Carbon-related thin films Nanostructured / nanocomposite thin films Biological thin films / coatings Tribological / corrosion-resistant coatings Characterisation of thin films / coatings Plasma science and process modeling	Carbon nanotubes & nanocrystals Nano-photonics & nano-optoelectronics Computational nanoelectronics Molecular electronics Nano-sensors & nanoscale devices Bionanotechnology Nanometrology Nanostructured materials MEMS & NEMS Ultra-precision machining Focused ion beam & ultrafast laser technology Nanoimprinting & Nanolithography Nanotechnology Business Opportunities Forum
An electronic format proceedings will be produced in a single CD-ROM for both Thin Films 2004 and Nanotech 2004 papers. The CD-ROM proceedings will be distributed at the time of conference. Subject to peer review, selected Thin Films papers will be published in "Surface and Coatings Technology" (Elsevier), and the selected Nanotech papers will be published in the International Journal of Nanoscience (World Scientific).
