International Symposium symposium In ancient Greece, an aristocratic banquet at which men met to discuss philosophical and political issues and recite poetry. It began as a warrior feast.

The symposium focused on materials and the mechanisms and sciences behind material behavior, specifically those used for the protection of civilians and soldiers against blast, fragmentation (1) Storing data in non-contiguous areas on disk. As files are updated, new data are stored in available free space, which may not be contiguous. Fragmented files cause extra head movement, slowing disk accesses. A defragger program is used to rewrite and reorder all the files. , and unconventional attack, as well as multi-functional materials for the enhancement of soldier performance. Some of the topics include novel synthesis, processing and applications; micro and nano-structures; the development of materials evaluation techniques; modeling, simulation, and characterization A rather long and fancy word for analyzing a system or process and measuring its "characteristics." For example, a Web characterization would yield the number of current sites on the Web, types of sites, annual growth, etc. ; smart materials for structural and functional management; and advanced sensors
