The S2P International Conferences are dedicated to science and technology of semi-solid processing of metals. Since the discovery of the specific flow behaviour of metals in semi-slid state during the seventies, this fascinating technology has experienced a dynamic develoment history which has led to a whole family of new production processes, new equipment and industrial applications.

In order to fully exploit the technical and economical potential of these new ideas it is important to achieve a better understanding of the microsturcture development, flow behaviour, improved material and process modelling as well as process control. The S2P International Conferences have contributed to achieve this goal by providing a forum for scientists form various disciplines as well as for engineers and production specialists to learn from each other, to share the common knowledge and to develop a common sense on fundamental topics and industrial requirements.

The 10th S2P Conference organised by the RWTH aachen University, Germany and the University of Liège (Belgium) took place from September 16th to 18th, 2008.
This book contains the conference contributions.

The main objective of COST Action 298 is to create new knowledge about users’ creativity and to facilitate their empowerment in a broadband information society. This knowledge is crucial in order to strengthen the European Research Area. Moreover, this requires an examination of the factors that can both constrain and enhance users abilities to shape and use ICT’s – nowadays also referred to as information society technologies and services (ISTs).
