In the past the SMM proceedings have also been published in IEEE Transactions on Magnetics or other peer reviewed journals.
The SMM is the largest international conference devoted to soft magnetic materials. It has active participation of the academic world as well as of industry, with a high scientific level of contributed and invited communications.
The main aim of the SMM is to bring together engineers and scientists from universities, research institutions and industry who are active in research, development and industrial applications of the materials. The programme of the conference includes invited lectures by academic and industrial experts, oral presentations and poster sessions for regular contributions.
In 2009, the SMM19 conference will be held in Torino, Italy, from 7 through 9 September; it will be organized by INRIM, the Italian Institute for Research in Metrology, and will be hosted in the Torino Incontra Conference Centre.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
