Call for Papers: The2008 International Conference of Mechanical Engineering (ICME 2008)

CFP: The 2008 International Conference of Mechanical Engineering (ICME2008)

From: IAENG - International Association of Engineers

Draft Paper Submission Deadline: 6 March, 2008

Camera-Ready papers & Pre-registration Due: 31March, 2008

ICME2008: 2-4 July, 2008, London, U.K.

The conference ICME'08 is held under the World Congress on Engineering 2008. The WCE 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. Our congress committees have been formed with over two hundred and eighty committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from different universities like Cambridge, MIT and Oxford etc.

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 Technology Research Databases (TRD) of CSA (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts), DBLP and Computer Science Bibliographies have promised to index the print proceeding in advance of its publication. And after the publication of the proceeding, print copies will also be sent to databases like IEE INSPEC, Engineering Index (EI) and ISI Thomson Scientific for indexing. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters. Some participants may also be invited to submit extended version of their conference papers for considering as book chapters (soon after the conference).

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 6 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 or or ).
