Prospective authors are asked to submit electronic abstracts of 300-500 words for consideration including a tentative paper title, author(s) name(s), mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. In addition, each abstract should:

• State the significance of the work to the progress of relevant engineering areas.
• Indicate whether the paper has ever been presented before.
• State the main conclusions of the proposed paper.
• Summarize the process by which the conclusions were reached.

Abstracts are due no later than February 14, 2012. Draft manuscripts are due April 19, 2012 and final manuscripts are due August 7, 2012.
