Here is a brief outline of the past TOCAT conferences: TOCAT- 1: 1990, 350 participants TOCAT-2: 1994, 400 participants TOCAT-3: 1998, 520 participants TOCAT-4 was held on July 14th - 19th, 2002, with a total of 670 participants from 30 countries, building on the success of the past three conferences. The scientific program included 7 plenary lectures, 17 invited lectures and more than 390 contributed papers, both oral and poster from both industry and
