This two-volume set contains the Proceedings of the 1st International Women's Conference on BIEN-Technology, held at Paichai University in Daejeon, Korea, on November 13th - 16th, 2003. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This conference provided female scientists with the opportunity to exchange their multidisciplinary expertise and research experience, to enhance interpersonal net-working, and to create a synergetic convergence of various emerging technologies such as Bio, Information, Environmental, Energy, Space and Nano technologies.These proceedings comprise 173 papers, each of which was subjected to technical review by two experts and, in addition, was checked by a native English speaker. The work is divided into the sections: Bio-Technology, Information Technology, Environmental Technology, Energy Technology, Space Technology and Nano Technology. These volumes will therefore be of great interest to scientists and engineers working in any of these fields.
