PANEL REPORT PRESENTATIONS

Wed. evening

The following recommendations and suggestions emerged from the two Breakout Sessions held on August 1:

The focus of this series of conferences must extend from theory to experiment to applications.
A balance between analytical investigations and numerical simulations is desirable in theoretical research.
Presentation of techniques to measure constitutive parameters must be encouraged.
Critical Review Lectures must continue.
The last lecture in every forthcoming edition of Complex Mediums must focus on applications and research funding.
The selection of constitutive relations must be guided by both theoretical rigor and empirical adequacy.
Symmetries must be explored and exploited for linear as well as nonlinear material properties.
The effects of domains at the 10 nm scale are likely to be significant.
The following growth areas were identified:

* homogenization
* magneto-optical and chiro-optical materials
* linear and nonlinear properties of sculptured thin films
* flexible and variously tunable lasers
* sensing and actuation
* energy harvesting and storage devices
* electronic and optical shielding

Propagation of beams and pulses in complex mediums is an area of future research.
Connections with information technology must be sought.
