Scope

This list is for the discussion of Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE).
All aspects of NDE and related science and technology are topics of
this mailing list.

Mailing List History

This mailing list was founded at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop
"Advances in Signal Processing for Non Destructive Evaluation of
Materials".  This workshop was organized by a group headed by
Professor Xavier Maldague and was hosted by Universite Laval in
August 1993.  Dr. Keith Pickens of Southwest Research Institute has
agreed to set up and maintain the list, and SwRI is providing the
necessary computing resources. 

Newgroup History

The newsgroup ``sci.techniques.testing.nondestructive'' was proposed
by Dr. Martin Jones in March 1995.  Through the campaign efforts of
many, especially Mr. Russell Austin of NTIAC, the vote for the 
newsgroup passed in June 1995 and the group was created in July 1995.
The newsgroup and mailing list are connected by a gateway at SwRI.
