Overview of IASS-IACM 2008 - 6th ICCSSS

To address a broad interpretation of “Shell and Spatial Structures” the Sixth Conference included presentations regarding computation for any long-span, lightweight, fabric, or thin-walled structures:

·        at a variety of scales -- spanning nano to mega,

·        in a diversity of application fields, and

·        in both technology and nature.

In addition, the themes of the conference sessions included most of those addressed at the Fifth Conference but with new emphasis on the related areas of

·        computational morphogenesis,

·        computational materials,

·        innovative materials,

·        biological structures, and

·        nano- and micro-structures.
