The 13th International Symposium on
Advances in Abrasive Technology
GMT +8, 19-22 September 2010 Taipei, Taiwan

	Organized by
	National Taiwan University (NTU)
	Sponsored by
	National Science Council (NSC)
	Ministry of Education (MOE)
	The Taiwan Society for Abrasive Technology (TSAT)
	International Committee for Abrasive Technology (ICAT)
	The Japan Society for Abrasive Technology (JSAT)

The International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT) was first held in Sydney, Australia in 1997. Since 2002, JSAT and ICAT have been jointly organizing this exciting annual event for this community and the symposia have been successfully held in US, China, Russia, UK, Turkey, Korea and Japan. An emphasis of the ISAAT series is to bring together both academic researchers and industrial practitioners from around the world for interchange of the latest developments and applications in abrasive technologies. The ISAAT 2010 at the Howard International House, Taipei, Taiwan, will continue to promote the research collaboration, and to establish a platform to explore the frontier of abrasive technology in the field.
