Conference Proceedings

The Proceedings of IARD 2010 appear in Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Volume 330.

The International Association for Relativistic Dynamics (IARD) hosted its 7^th biennial meeting at National Dong Hwa University in Hualien, Taiwan, 30 May - 1 June 2010.

IARD 2010 marked the association's 12^th year of activity since its founding at the 1998 meeting.

Six previous meetings took place in Houston, Texas, Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel, Howard University in Washington DC, Saas Fee, Switzerland, the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT and Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The goal of these meetings is to bring together researchers from diverse fields whose interests involve relativistic dynamics, both classical and quantum. The conference program aims to present recent developments in the abstract theoretical aspects of general approaches in quantum field theory, conformal field theories and string theories, manifestly covariant approaches to classical mechanics, quantum theory, and statistical mechanics, general relativity, classical and quantum gravity, and explore application in such areas as high energy electron spectroscopy, quark-gluon plasma generation in heavy ion collisions, general high energy scattering and particle decay, cosmology, and gravitational waves.

IARD 2010 took place in conjunction with a workshop on Relativistic Quantum Information, including a joint session on RQI-N held on 30 May 2010.
