The VIII AMCTM Conference will be held in Paris, organised by the Collège Français de Métrologie (www.cfmetrologie.com) jointly with IMEKO TC21 (www.imeko.org)*. Following the first workshop held in Torino (1993), conferences were held in Oxford (1995, 1999), Berlin (1996) and Lisboa (2000) (supported by the European Union EuroConferences programme) and in Torino (2003) and Lisboa (2005) (supported by the EU Network SofTools_Metronet), and led to seven volumes on Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology published by World Scientific www.wspc.com. Volumes contents can be found at www.amctm.org.
Chairpersons: Franco Pavese (President TC21, INRIM, Italy), Jean-Marc Linares(CFM representive with TC21, Aix-Marseille II University, France),

- To present and promote reliable and effective mathematical and computational tools in metrology;
- To understand better the modelling, statistical and computational requirements in metrology;
- To provide a forum for metrologists, mathematicians and software engineers that will encourage a more effective synthesis of skills, capabilities and resources;
- To promote collaboration in the context of EU and International Programmes;
- To support young researchers in metrology and related fields, also through training;
- To address industrial requirements;
- To cover both fields of calibration and testing.
Topics for 2008 Conference
The main theme of the conference, reinforced by the establishment of IMEKO TC21, is to provide a central opportunity for the metrology and testing community worldwide to engage with applied mathematicians, statisticians and the software engineers working in the relevant fields.
The 2008 conference will deliver the following topics in thematic sessions:
Note: Uncertainty evaluation underpins all themes
- Fundamentals in measurement
- Written standards for metrology and testing
- Industrial statistic and Metrological traceability
- Health, Chemical and environmental metrology and testing
- Dynamic measurements
- Modelling and inverse problems in metrology
- Measurement software and internet metrology
- Key comparisons
- Metrology, calibration and testing
Conference format
AMCTM VIII will have plenary sessions and two parallel sessions. Oral presentations can add a poster augmenting the oral presentation. A dedicated poster session and a Round Table discussion are completing the programme.
Poster presentations, displayed since the morning of the first day, remain in show for the rest of the Conference, so they can be discussed during all the Conference breaks.
The provisional Conference Programme can be download here. (New version dated June 10)
An open meeting of IMEKO Technical committee TC21 will take place on Wednesday afternoon.
