Fw: MECT-2002 Symposium, First Announcement

> Dear Colleague,
>
> Here are two announcements that may interest you:
>
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 1- ICHMT (The Int. Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer) is planning to
> organize a symposium on "Micro/Nanoscale Energy Conversion and
> Transport" in April 2002. The text version of the first
> announcement is given below. You may see the Web site for details:
>
> <http://ichmt.me.metu.edu.tr/Mect-02>
>
> 2- A special issue of ASME Journal of Heat Transfer will be dedicated
> to the topic of micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer. It will
> contain four solicited review papers and 15-18 unsolicited
> contributions. The topics covered will include:
>
> ˇ Energy conversion and transport phenomena in micro/nanostructures
> ˇ Short time scale and non-equilibrium thermal phenomena
> ˇ Phase change and interfacial phenomena in micro/nanostructures
> ˇ Micro/nanoscale measurement and visualization techniques
> ˇ Micro/nanoscale computational techniques
> ˇ Integrated micro/nanoscale thermal devices and systems
>
> The deadline for submitting unsolicited papers to Prof. Vijay Dhir,
> the Editor of JHT, for this special issue is MAY 1, 2001. The papers
> will undergo a regular review process and authors should follow the
> general guidelines of the journal with regards to length, format, and
> submission. The issue is planned to appear in print in February 2002.

> INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
>
> MICRO/NANOSCALE ENERGY CONVERSION AND TRANSPORT
>
> April 14 - 19, 2002
> Antalya, TURKEY
>
> FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT), is pleased to
> announce MECT-02, an international symposium on Micro/Nanoscale Energy
> Conversion and Transport, taking place in Antalya, Turkey from 14th to
> 19th of April, 2002.
>
> OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
>
> The goal of this conference is to provide an international forum to
> present and review the most recent developments in the field of micro and
> nanoscale energy conversion and transport. The scope of this meeting will
> include experimental, theoretical and computational research in the areas:
>
> - Electron, photon, and phonon transport and interactions in
> micro/nanostructures
> - Electrothermal energy conversion devices
> - Optoelectronic energy conversion devices
> - Molecular energy conversion and transport
>
> The papers presented in this conference will be part of research in MEMS,
> nanotechnology and biotechnology.
>
> LOCATION
>
> The symposium will be held in a resort place in Antalya, Turkey. Antalya
> is a metropolitan city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey with
> international flight connections and historical sites.
>
> A welcome reception, conference dinner, an accompanying persons' program
> and optional guided tours to historical sites will be arranged. A choice
> of two 3-night, 4-day post-conference tours to Istanbul and to the
> Cappadocia regions will be arranged, subject to there being a sufficient
> number of participants.

> DEADLINES
>
> Oct. 1, 2001 Max. three-page extended abstracts
> Nov. 30, 2001 Notification of acceptance
> Feb. 15, 2002 Max. three-page extended abstracts of poster presentations
> on recent work
> Mar. 15, 2002 Manuscripts for publication in the Journal, Microscale
> Thermophysical Engineering
>
> All material, preferably in pdf format, should be sent to ICHMT
> Secretariat as on-line submission through the Web page or as attachement
> to email.
>
> The guidelines for preparation of abstracts and manuscripts will be given
> on the Web site of the symposium: http://ichmt.me.metu.edu.tr/Mect-02
>
> ORGANIZATION
>
> Abstracts and full papers must be submitted in English. Summaries should
> contain sufficient information about the problem, methodology and original
> new results.
>
> There will be oral and poster presentations of contributed papers in each
> session. All contributed papers will be evaluated and accepted for
> presentation based on maximum three-page extended abstracts. Final
> decision concerning oral versus poster will be made according to author's
> selection and session topics. The oral presentations will be chosen to
> highlight a specific subject within a session theme, and not necessarily
> for their scientific quality. The number of oral presentations will
> therefore be more limited in number to provide more time for posters.
>
> The authors may also present their most recent work as a poster without
> having to write a paper. There will be special sessions for recent-work
> posters.
>
> All papers, keynotes, oral and poster presentations (except the posters
> dedicated to most recent work with no paper) will be peer-reviewed for
> publication in the journal, Microscale Thermophsical Engineering, shortly
> after the symposium.
>
> The abstracts of all presentations, including keynotes and recent-work
> posters, will be included in a book of abstracts which will be available
> on site. A sample extended abstract in the required format and further
> information can be found on the Web site of the
> symposium: http://ichmt.me.metu.edu.tr/Mect-02
