Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first online and then in print. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet publication criteria. A unique citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:
The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages. AuthorsNumbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit citation identifier (CID) article numbering system used in Proceedings of SPIE. The first four digits reflect the volume number. Base 36 numbering is employed for the last two digits and indicates the order of articles within the volume. Numbers start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B…0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc.

Marketing Administration IntroductionIn March 2015, AILU was proud to hold the 4th Industrial Laser Applications Symposium (ILAS) in Warwickshire, United Kingdom. The biennial event explored wide-ranging aspects of laser materials processing and provided an interface between industry and academia. It attracted well over 200 participants. This 2-day symposium offered over 90 presentations in parallel sessions, including plenary and keynote contributions. This book of Symposium Proceedings contains a selection of peer-reviewed manuscripts from ILAS 2015, documenting the wide range of topics covered including: additive manufacturing; cladding and hardening; macro cutting and drilling; micro and nano processing; precision fabrication; sources, beam delivery and system integration; surface marking and functionality; welding and a review of the EU-funded LASHARE project. We would like to thank all our sponsors, supporting organizations and particularly SPIE for their assistance in producing this publication. Mike Green ILAS Secretary |
