The mini-Symposium on Additives Technology of Lubricants for the Next Generation was organized by the JAST Technical Committee on Additive Technology for Lubricants, and was held as one of the mini-symposium at the World Tribology Congress 2009. One keynote lecture by Dr. Ardian Morina, University of Leeds, UK, followed by six technical papers were presented at the symposium. Among these presentations, six papers were submitted to the Tribology Online, and they have subsequently undergone the normal peer-review process by multiple reviewers.On behalf of the Technical Committee, we, the organizers, acknowledge the authors'efforts to submit their papers to this Special Issue.
