For over ten years, the US-Korea Conference, co-organized by KSEA, KOFST and KUSCO, has successfully served to promote scientific and technological collaborations among scientists, engineers, and educators from the US and Korea. Following tradition, the UKC2006 Organizing Committee has produced a comprehensive and engaging conference. We are very proud to present a high-quality technical program, covering a wide spectrum of science and technology topics, with more than 400 speakers from the US and Korea. Your strong support and active participation have made the UKC2006 a record-breaking event. Not only has the total number of papers to be presented nearly doubled, but the total numbers of symposiums/forums organized, committee members involved, attendees, and sponsor donations have far exceeded all expectations. In addition, an impressive roster of distinguished speakers has been assembled for the Opening Ceremony and Plenary sessions. For the first time, the UKC2006 conference management system was transformed into a seamless on-line process for abstract and paper submission, conference registration, hotel reservation, and other services. We have also witnessed the US-Korea Conference evolving into an international forum by recognizing many participants from the US, Korea, and other parts of the World. Generous sponsorships from many industrial companies and research organizations from the US and Korea have also signified that the US-Korea Conference is an important venue to discuss
