The conference will address all problems that are relevant to both physical concepts and to technological aspects of practical implementation of microwave and RF measurement techniques for determining the amount of water in moist substances. The conference will concentrate on, but not limited to, the following topics: Dielectric properties of water in various degrees of binding Dielectric relaxation properties of water in biological substances Static and dynamic moisture determination in grain and agricultural/horticultural products Time domain reflectometry techniques for water content measurements RF and microwave sensors for moisture content determination in solids and liquids Metrological basis for multiparameter electrical moisture content measurements. Any other related topic The conference is organised to stimulate the maximum discussion on using the RF and microwave theory and techniques for nonmilitary and noncommunication applications. Contributed papers describing original work, as well as short notes and comments on the topics listed above, are solicited, but any paper concerned with application and utilisation of RF and microwave techniques for microwave moisture content determination and control is appropriate and will be considered for presentation. Deadline for submission of one page abstract: July 15, 2002. The abstracts must be written in English. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Camera-ready copy of the accepted presentations should be submitted before the end of October 2002.
