This symposium and workshop focused on applications of time domain reflectometry (TDR), including metallic and optical technologies. Both theoretical and experimental developments were of interest.
This two and one-half day event occurred mid September 2006 and was held on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana USA. The event followed in the tradition of the two previous TDR symposia held in 1994 and 2001 at Northwestern University.
A call for abstracts was published and abstracts received and reviewed by the Organizing Committee as a means of forming the program. Invitations for submission of full papers were sent to authors whose abstracts were accepted. Papers were reviewed prior to final acceptance for inclusion in the proceedings, which is available electronically.
An exhibit area was adjacent to the presentation rooms and was the venue for breaks and lunches. Arrangements were made for an optional tour in Chicago the day before the symposium and workshop and for bus transportation from Chicago to Purdue and then back to Chicago at the close of the program. Lodging was in the Purdue Memorial Union Hotel which is adjacent to the Stewart Conference Center. Activities for accompanying persons were made available.
