The Proceedings of the Conference will be published in April 2009 as a special issue of the Journal of Applied Physics. Detailed instructions on the preparation of manuscripts for submission to the journal will be available on the Conference home page for authors whose papers are accepted for presentation at the Conference. The maximum paper length is six journal pages for invited papers and three journal pages for contributed papers. All manuscripts must be received by September 17, 2008. This deadline will be strictly observed. Post-deadline manuscripts will not be accepted and not forwarded for review. Authors are reminded that review standards will mirror those used for regular articles submitted to the Journal of Applied Physics, and that, because of time constraints, a second review may not be possible for resubmitted papers that were originally rejected. Papers must be presented at the Conference by an author registered at the Conference in order to be published in the Proceedings.

All manuscripts must be submitted to the AIP web submission system, PeerX-Press (PXP). Instructions for submission and accepted formats for the journal will be available at the submission site (http://mmm.peerx-press.org/).

The site will be available for submission beginning August 19, 2007. All papers to appear in the proceedings MUST be submitted in this way. No paper manuscripts will be accepted. Reviewing and revisions will all be handled through the online system.
