Call for Papers

ICCES09 will be organized along 4 major THEMES.

Each THEME will have several SYMPOSIA

Each SYMPOSIUM can have many MINI-SYMPOSIA.

Each SYMPOSIUM will have AT LEAST 30 presentations; 4 of which will be KEYNOTE (40 minutes each), 6 INVITED (25 minutes each), and at least 20 other INVITED presentations of 20 minutes duration each, with a mix of senior as well as upcoming researchers.

Each MINI-SYMPOSIUM proposed by any organizer will have AT LEAST 10 presentations; 1 of which will be KEYNOTE (40 minutes), 4 INVITED ( 25 minutes each), and 5 other INVITED presentations (20 minutes each), with a mix of senior as well as upcoming researchers.

If any of the papers in a SYMPOSIUM or MINI-SYMPOSIUM represent the first publications of original research, the respective organizer can propose them for publication, collectively, as SPECIAL ISSUE(S) of either of the Journals CMES ( www.techscience.com/cmes) or CMC ( www.techscience.com/cmc). The organizer(s) will be invited to act as GUEST-EDITOR(S) of the respective SPECIAL ISSUE(S). While the Guest-Editor(s) may be called upon to handle the reviews , the Editorial Boards/ Editors-in-Chief of CMES/CMC will have the final responsibility to accept/decline the papers after the usual peer-review process.

We call upon the research community to propose SYMOSIA or MINI-SYMPOSIA on a topic of their choice from the list below. They may also propose SYMPOSIA/ MINI-SYMPOSIA on any topic which is not listed below, but which falls broadly within the 4 THEMES identified below.

Please send your proposals, electronically, to: (icces@icces.org) , with the subject line: Proposal for an ICCES09 SYMPOSIUM/ MINI-SYMPOSIUM
