The 10th International Symposium on Advances of Measurement Science has been hold from June 30 to July 2, 2004 in hotel "Saint-Petersburg" in St.-Petersburg, Russia. The symposium was organized by Tomsk Joint ED Chapter upon request of the International Measurement Confederation.

In three halls of hotel "Saint-Petersburg" the parallel sessions were organized in the following fields: Foundations of Measurement Science and Metrology; Uncertainty of Measurement; Measurement Signals and Data Processing; Intelligent Measurement Systems; Methods and Algorithms for Measurement, Testing, Diagnostics, and Recognition; Qualimetry.

Before the symposium, the Proceedings and CD-ROM were published. Papers were selected by the International Programm Committee based on reviewing of the extended thesis, sent via e-mail, and describing new results of scientific researches, original ideas and offers on practical using the results. The reports were only oral, the poster section were not organized. In addition to sessions, the symposium program included two discussion panels.

The Symposium has concluded that it is necessary to supply an opportunity to create a knowledge base on the measurement systems. It is important to promote more active participation of the IEEE members in their own IEEE units, as well as to extent cooperation with new people, paying special attention to youth, both separate researchers and societies from other connected disciplines.
