Tutorials for the Maimi IFCS meeting will be held on Sunday, June 4. They will operate in three parallel sessions each of 90 to 120 minutes duration. The courses are Session I: Noise Measurement and Time Transfer; Session II: Quartz and Atomic Clocks; Session III: Resonant Sensors. Short Courses are presented by leaders in the field and will provide a comprehensive survey of the subject material. Attendees will receive a CD including all presentation materials of the short course session, including those courses not attended. The CD is a valuable reference for everyone whose work involves resonant devices ranging from frequency references to sensors. Each year’s session is unique both in subject matter and the short course presenter so repeated attendance is useful for continued professional development.
