ANNOUNCEMENT for OMAE'98 in LISBON
17th International Conference on
OFFSHORE MECHANICS AND ARCTIC ENGINEERING
Lisbon, Portugal - 5th to 9th July 1998
CALL FOR PAPERS
The annual International OMAE Conference, which is being organised by the OMAE Division of ASME and Institute Superior Tecnico (IST), is co-sponsored by a number of international associations in the year of the Great World Exhibition in Lisbon (EXPO'98).
The Conference comprises five symposia, the latest addition being the Ocean Space Utilisation Symposium, which is connected with the main theme of EXPO'98. Oceans Our Heritage for the Future'.
CURRENT THEMES OF INTEREST
・ Deep Water Developments and Marginal Fields
・ Reassessment and Re-certif1cation of Structures
・ Decommissioning of Offshore Structures
・ Reliability Based Design Guidelines
・ Use of the Oceans and Coastal Areas
Abstracts: Send two copies of the abstracts in 300 to 400 words to one of the symposium co-ordinators or to an appropriate session organiser. The abstract must include full names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the corresponding author and co-authors.
Review: All manuscripts will be reviewed according to the ASME paper review criteria prior to acceptance.
Papers of permanent interest will be further reviewed for publication in the ASME Transactions, Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering.
