Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies (AMPT) conference series was founded in 1993 at the Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland and held there in 1993, 1995, 1999 and 2003. Moreover, it has taken place so far in Portugal in 1997, Malaysia in 1998, Spain in 2001, Poland in 2004, USA in 2006, Korea In 2007, in 2008 it was held in Bahrain. This year AMPT 2009 conference will be held in Malaysia.

The conference provides a chance for academics, researchers, and engineers to meet and exchange innovative ideas and information on all aspects of material processing technologies.

The AMPT 2009 Conference organizers invite quality papers from researchers and practitioners from academic as well as industry within the scope of the conference subjects. Sessions will be developed according to the level of interest for each Conference topic.

An extended abstract of about 300 words should be submitted to the conference secretariat. Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified to submit full papers. All papers accepted for presentation at the AMPT2009 conference will be peer reviewed for publication in special issues of the Journals:

Advanced Materials Research
Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering
Arabian Journal of Science and Engineering
Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology

Additionally, with the agreements of the Editors, a small number of selected papers will be directed to the following journals for further review for publication in regular issues:

CAD Computer-Aided Design
International Journal of Mechanical Sciences
Surface and Coatings Technology
The International Journal of Material Forming

A book of Abstracts will be published by the conference organizers and made available to all the delegates attending the conference. No separate conference proceedings will be published.
