Recent advances of computer technology have given powerful practical tools to structural and mechanical designs. Optimal design is one of such area where various theories and methodologies are well developed. It is, however, lacking general interests among field designers and engineers. Innovative optimal design techniques and new applications are yet to be developed. Following the successful first CJK-OSM1 in Xian, China in 1999, second (CJK-OSM2) in Busan, Korea in 2002 and the third (CJK-OSM3) in Kanazawa, Japan in 2004, as agreed among participants in the symposium, the fourth CJK-OSM symposium will be held in Kunming, China during Nov. 6th -Nov. 9th, 2006. As before this will be a forum for exchange of recent research ideas and fostering new developments and new applications. Reflecting current interests from various fields, several new topics are included. The scope is, however, not limited to those listed.

1. Design Optimization of Structures
2. Shape & Topology Optimization
3. Multidisciplinary Design Optimization
4. Multiscale Design and Optimization of Materials and Structures
5. Optimization in Computational Fluid Dynamics
6. Applications of Optimization in Industries (MEMS, Electronic and Electrical Industries, Aero- and Astro-nautical Engineering)
7. Optimization in Inverse Problems and System Identification
8. Biomedical Application of Optimization
9. Integrated Package for Optimum and Software Development
