The 4th International Forum on Opto-electronic Sensor-based Monitoring in Geo-engineering (4th OSMG-2012) 2 nd Announcement Oct 11-13, 2012 Nanjing University High-tech Institute at Suzhou, China http://osmg2012.acei.cn 1
INVITATION With the rapid development in the construction of various infrastructure engineering in China, the construction quality of these structures and their safety operation are the main concerns. To ensure this and prevent various potential disasters, the improvement of the level of engineering monitoring technology is a necessity. Recently, the distributed monitoring technologies, such as Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (BOTDR), Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA), Raman Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (ROTDR), and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG), have been successively applied to geo-engineering monitoring. Due to their apparent advantages, the development and application of distributed monitoring technologies have become a research focus and a key research topic in some developed countries. As the fourth forum following the 1st, 2nd and 3rd International Forums on Opto-electronic Sensor-based Monitoring in Geo-engineering held by Nanjing University, China, in 2005, 2007 and 2010, respectively, this forum will focus on the subject of distributed monitoring technologies and engineering applications, about which related topics will be discussed and communicated. During the forum, some well-known foreign and domestic scholars and experts will be invited to give keynote lectures on up-to-date research findings, hotspots and difficult subjects in the geo-engineering monitoring field. An information release and communication platform for new technologies and products of relevant suppliers will be provided, as well. MAIN TOPICS --Recent development of distributed monitoring technologies --Demodulation technologies for distributed opto-electronic sensing network -- Data acquisition and wireless transmission technologies for distributed opto-electronic sensing network -- Temperature compensation and abnormality recognition for distributed opto-electronic sensing network --Distributed monitoring technologies of geo-materials with large deformation --Development of special distributed sensing fibers and cables --Designing, installation and protection of distributed sensing network in geo-engineering monitoring field --Safety monitoring and diagnosis system based on distributed monitoring technologies --Integration of distributed opto-electronic sensing network in geo-engineering monitoring field --Case study of engineering applications of distributed monitoring technologies --Key technologies of temperature monitoring using ROTDR --Technical solutions of field installation and wireless data transmission of FBG sensors 2
