MAJOR TRACKS (with grouped Paper Topic Areas)
The Technical Sessions of the CHoPS+ICBMH Conference will be run on 4, 5, 6 and 7 August 2009. Due to the large number of papers, Four to Five parallel tracks will be run over this time period. Numerous papers will be presented by both Industry and the Scientific communities. Papers have been grouped according to topic areas (see dot points below), which are summarised in generic Tracks.
