ICA 2010 has been organised by the Australian Acoustical Society on behalf of the International Commission for Acoustics.
The program incorporates the Annual Conference of the Australian Acoustical Society.
 |
The purpose of the ICA is to promote international development and collaboration in all fields of acoustics including research, development, education, and standardisation. It fulfils this mission by maintaining contacts with national and regional acoustical societies and associations; convening the International Congresses on Acoustics; sponsoring special international meetings. The Commission is affiliated to the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics; the International Union of Applied and Theoretical Mechanics and the International Council of Scientific Unions. |
 |
The Australian Acoustical Society aims to promote and advance the science and practice of acoustics in all its branches to the wider community and provide support to acousticians. The Society was formed in 1964 and divisions are active in all Australian States. |
It is with great pleasure that we participate in this ICA 2010 congress hosted by the Australian Acoustical Society for the International Commission of Acoustics (ICA) at the Sydney Convention Centre located right on the beautiful harbour of Sydney.
The Congress program features a broad range of high-level presentations in all the areas of acoustics from around the world, as well as a very rich exhibition of acoustic equipment, software, products and latest technology in acoustics. Also we will have each day a plenary speaker presenting the state of art of their field plus the latest research findings. The technical program comprises multiple streams of distinguished, contributed papers and poster papers. Special attention has been given to young Scientists by providing grants to support their participation.
At this ICA 2010 congress, you will not only exchange information with your international colleagues, but will also be able to discover the high potential for acoustics in Australia. The ICA 2010 congress will provide the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn more about the acoustic activities in this large continent.
This may be your first visit to Australia but we doubt it will be the last. Thus the Board of the ICA welcomes you to ICA 2010, where we are sure you will have a fruitful and enjoyable time in the beautiful Australia.
I am delighted, on behalf of the Australian Acoustical Society, to welcome you all to the 20th ICA here in Sydney Australia. The Organising Committee, under the very able leadership of the Conference Chair, Marion Burgess, has worked very long and hard to make this Conference the success that it will be. We are indeed very pleased that the ICA Commission gave us the opportunity to showcase Australian acoustics. The conference will present a very large range of papers across a diverse array of topics so there will definitely be something of interest for everyone.
We also would like to take this opportunity to thank the Sponsors and Exhibitors for their contribution and financial assistance to the ICA, the AAS and the acoustics fraternity. Their presence here adds substantially to the opportunity for all participants to learn new technical information.
We hope that you enjoy the congress and the opportunity it provides to meet with your colleagues. We also hope that our international visitors will make the most of their time in Sydney and experience Aussie hospitality and we trust that you will also explore our marvellous country.
Thanks for attending - we look forward to meeting you at the various sessions.
Marion Burgess (Chair), David Anderson (Secretary) and Chris Schulten (Treasurer) have comprised the main organising committee for the ICA 2010. The six years since being awarded the honour to host ICA 2010 have passed rapidly and now the congress is about to commence. The guidance from those in the national and international technical advisory committees was greatly appreciated. We are particularly grateful for the assistance provided by the members of the Australian Acoustical Society. ICMS Australasia has provided the registration secretariat and services to enable this event to occur.
We hope that all the delegates find the technical program stimulating and that the social program offers the opportunities for meeting colleagues and renewing friendships.
