Foreword from the Chair of the Conference
Expert knowledge and the safe handling of explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics is of vital importance to the defence forces and to the civil community.  Numerous energetic materials have been developed recently for various chemical propulsion applications.   Significant advancements in energetic material synthesis, characterisation, and model simulation have also been made in recent years.  It is expected that this trend will continue even at a greater pace in the future.  Nano-sized ingredients and certain novel components deserve special attention, since they offer specific advantages for both military and commercial applications in the chemical propulsion field.  Energetic nanomaterials offer the potential of extremely high heat release rates, extraordinary combustion efficiency, tailored burning rate, and reduced sensitivity.

The 2010 International Conference on High Energetic Materials and Dynamics of Ultrafast Reactive Systems brings together scientists from many countries working in government laboratories, research universities and private industry to discuss state-of-the-art research on explosives, pyrotechnics and propellants.  The meeting is an important venue for presenting cutting edge fundamental research into the chemistry, physics and materials properties associated with ignition, combustion, detonation, ageing, thermal decomposition and mechanical damage of energetic materials.

Selected papers will be published in the International Journal of Energetic Materials and Chemical Propulsion and in the 2010 Annual Bulletin of the Australian Institute of High Energetic Materials.

Message from the Secretariat of the Conference
The Secretariat of the 2010 International Conference on High Energetic Materials and Dynamics of Ultrafast Reactive Systems has received many requests to amend the program of the conference in order to better suit the requirements of the majority of the participants.  The major suggestions brought to us are:

1. To set the commencement date of the conference after the summer holiday break in the Northern Hemisphere;

2. There is a financial hardship caused by the global economic crisis.  Because of the lack of proper financing for paying the registration fee and the travel and accommodation costs, the majority of inquires are about providing a cheap alternative.

Fortunately, the Australian Institute of High Energetic Materials is one of the developers of the concept of Virtual (Online) Scientific Conferences and Symposia, also known as V-Conferences.  An interdisciplinary V-Conference on Chemical, Mechanical and Materials Engineering was successfully run at the end of the 2009.  It has attracted hundreds of participants.  The web-page of this conference is available on-line.  General information on how do the V-Conferences operate can be found here.

We are glad to announce that we are able to amend the program of the 2010 International Conference on High Energetic Materials and Dynamics of Ultrafast Reactive Systems along with the suggestions of the partakers:

1. The commencement date of the conference is changed to 04.10.2010;

2. The 2010 International Conference on High Energetic Materials and Dynamics of Ultrafast Reactive Systems will run as a V-Conference only, using a specially designed platform called ODDS (Online Direct Discussion Sessions).  This is a much cheaper option and we will pass the savings to the conference partakers.  The standard full registration fee is set to 240 Euros and the student registration fee is 180 Euros.  However, we announce a further 60 Euros discount to the standard registration fees, which set the full registration fee to 180 Euros and the student registration fee to 120 Euros.  All manuscripts will be peer reviewed.

A V-Conference is a very affordable, flexible and modern form of conferencing, which allows saving of both time and money without compromising on the scientific merit of the publications.
