Guidelines for Submitting Abstracts
The abstract should emphasize the significance of the results and/or major technical merits of the final paper. Abstracts should be 300 - 400 words in length and must include full names, addresses, telephone, email and fax numbers of the author. In the case of multiple authors, please indicate one primary contact. The official language of IPC is English.
Review Criteria
Abstracts will be judged on their content pertaining to new knowledge or experience/test results and their technical merit and interest relative to the conference. Authors must avoid commercial references within their abstracts and papers.
ASME guidelines will be followed at all stages of the process and the link for the guidelines can be found at: http://www.asme.org/Publications/ConfProceedings/Author/Author_Resources.cfm
Final paper acceptance will be at the discretion of the Technical Committee.
