CFP: The 2008 International Conference of Mechanical Engineering (ICME
2008) From: IAENG - International Association of EngineersDraft Paper Submission Deadline (extended): 22 March, 2008 Camera-Ready papers & Pre-registration Due: 8 April, 2008 ICME2008: 2-4 July, 2008, London, U.K.
The conference proceedings will be published by IAENG (ISBN:
978-988-98671-9-5) in hardcopy. The full-text congress proceeding will be indexed in major database indexes so that it can be assessed easily. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the IAENG journals. Revised and expanded version of the selected papers may also be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the framework of cooperation between IAENG and Springer, and between IAENG and America Institute of Physics. For reference, the following post conference edited books of our recent IAENG 2007 conferences have been scheduled to be published by Springer in early 2008: Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, and by America Institute of Physics: Current Themes in Engineering Science (World Congress on Engineering 2007).The topics include, but not limited to, the following:
Aerodynamics Fluid Dynamics Compressible Flows Computational Mechanics Biomechanics Heat and Mass Transfer Nanomaterial Engineering Plasticity Mechanics Fracture Geomechanics
Multibody Dynamics Nonlinear Dynamics Structural Dynamics Vibrations Acoustics Noise Control Material Engineering Transport Phenomena Manufacturing Process Mechatronics
========= Submission:
WCE 2008 is now accepting manuscript submissions. Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper in full paper (any appropriate style) to WCE{at}iaeng.org by 22 March, 2008. The submitted file can be in MS Word format, PS format, or PDF formats.
The first page of the draft paper should include: (1) Title of the paper; (2) Name, affiliation and e-mail address for each author; (3) A maximum of 5 keywords of the paper.
Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to should be stated in the email.
============= Important Dates:
Draft Paper Submission Deadline: 6 March, 2008 Camera-Ready papers & Pre-registration Due: 30 March, 2008 WCE 2008: 2-4 July, 2008
It is our target that the reviewing process and the result notification for each submitted manuscript can be completed within one month from its submission. The reviewing process is to ensure the quality of the accepted papers in the WCE congress. The conferences have enjoyed high reputation among many research colleagues ( for example, see the
