In case of multiple submissions, the Program Committee reserves the right to allow only one oral presentation per author group while transferring the others to the poster session. During the Symposium, authors are expected to attend their respective sessions to enable interaction with the audience. Unless otherwise requested by authors, authors and abstracts will be posted at www.thermosense.org
Monday Evening Exhibitor Vendor Session
What's New in Infrared Imaging Hardware and Software
(Presentations by equipment and service vendors)
This session is now in its forth year and has become very popular. This venue provides an early opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their latest technology and products to the Thermosense and IR community prior to the opening of the exhibit. This is a casual meeting with ample time for questions and answers.
Exhibiting vendors who wish to participate are invited to submit a descriptive title and tentative presenter identification by the Abstract Due Date of 3 September 2007. An abstract of the presentation submitted by the Manuscript Due Date will facilitate publication of a Vendors Listing in the Program Summary and within the Proceedings of the ThermoSense conference.
8th Annual Infrared Imaging Gallery
Chairs: Ralph B. Dinwiddie, Oak Ridge National Lab. and Nicolas P. Avdelidis, IRT & Materials Consultancy (Greece)
Authors and Thermographers are invited to post Professional, Artistic, Unique, or Interesting thermographs. All thermographs to be in presentation form. First, Second, and Third place winners are awarded ribbons. Categories include but are not limited to Aerial, Art and Portraiture, Medical, Military Applications, Surveillance, and Historical Structures.

Student Poster and Poster Briefing Session:
Chairs: Jonathan J. Miles, James Madison Univ. & Morteza Safai, Boeing Co.
ThermoSense XXX will again feature a Student Poster Session. The session is intended to promote awareness of, and encourage undergraduate and graduate research pertaining to, the ThermoSense conference. The oral sessions are open to students who wish to present their work as a manuscript for oral presentation. In order to take part in the Student Poster Session: (1) an abstract must be submitted electronically to SPIE via the web on or before the SPIE abstract due date of 3 September 2007 (a Tracking Number will be forwarded after submission); then (2) the abstract must be e-mailed to the session chair, Jonathan Miles, at milesjj@jmu.edu with the paper confirmation number (i.e. DSS08-DS27-XX); (3) the lead author must be a student; and (4) the student author must commit to attending the symposium and presenting his or her poster.
