Organized by T. Fawcett, ICDD, Newtown Square, PA Microgenerators, powerful high efficient optics, and multidimensional detectors have revolutionized the speed and accuracy of X-ray and electron diffraction analyses. Strategic alliances and new database formats have combined to explode the size, depth, and data mining capability of materials databases. Intelligent software has been created to link these developments and to give users an unprecedented ability to identify and characterize materials. Leading experts in phase identification will discuss the new possibilities available today, and their expectations for the future. Next Generation Developments in PDF-4 Design: Search,

Poster Guidelines
Poster boards are 40 inches high, 60 inches wide, and about 1/4 inch thick,
comprised of foam board. Pins and Velcro will be available to attach your
poster to the foam boards. Authors are asked to post their presentations
approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the session (~7:15 pm).
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING ABSTRACTS
Abstracts will be published as-received on the ICDD web page, with
possible links to, or duplicate copies on affiliated web sites (e.g. IXAS),
and also published in the journal of Powder Diffraction. If you do not
want your abstract so published, please note your request in your e-mail
message when you submit your abstract.
Abstracts must not exceed one page in length and must include the title, author(s), affiliation(s), and the text. To provide uniformity, it is recommended that abstracts be prepared according to the following guidelines:
Abstract Format
- Paper Size: 8.5 x 11 inches; A4 paper must be formatted for 8.5 x 11 inches
- Size: Entire abstract, including title, author(s), affiliation(s), and text, must fit into a maximum area of 15 cm (5.9") wide by 20 cm (7.9") high. Please allow a top margin of 3.8 cm (1.5") and 2.54 cm (1") margins on all other sides
- Font: Times or Times New Roman, 12 point
- Title: bold, centered, all uppercase (except where lowercase letters are needed for clarity)
- Leave one blank line between the title and the author(s)
- Author(s) and affiliation(s): mixed upper and lowercase, centered; if there is more than one author, underline the presenting author's name. Please include the e-mail address of the presenting author.
- Leave two blank lines before beginning text

Technical Committee Meeting
The Technical Committee meeting reviews motions and action items from the
numerous technical subcommittees and task groups. Since task groups meet
at different times during the year and some of the subcommittees meet in
concurrent sessions on Tuesday, this meeting provides a summary of key
items to all attendees. In addition, guest speakers are invited to present
topics of current interest. Last year's presentations focused on
pharmaceutical analysis and new inorganic materials research in Russia.
Regional Technical Co-chairs review activities in their region of the
globe (eight regions) and present recommendations for future activities.
Annual Meeting of Members
All members come together for a formal gathering at this meeting to hear
remarks from the Chairman, a review of the Board of Directors' (BoD) and
Headquarters' activities, reports of selected BoD Committees, including
the Technical and Finance Committees, as well as reports of Task Groups.
Corporate activities are also discussed along with any new business items
brought forth by members. An agenda of the meeting will be available in
January.
Friday: Board of Directors' Meetings
These meetings are generally closed to the public.
