Call For Papers Technical papers are being solicited for the CANEUS 2006 Conference to be held at Toulouse, France August 27- September 1, 2006 Abstract Submittal Deadline Synopsis CANEUS 2006 is the world's premier international conference devoted to Micro-Nano-technology (MNT) development for aerospace applications. The CANEUS 2006 conference will build on the theme developed during the CANEUS 2004 conference p, i.e. the challenge of efficiently transitioning aerospace MNT development from a mostly low technology-readiness-level (TRL) stage to system-level implementations. Thus, CANEUS 2006 is aimed at the exploration of an integrated "cradle-to-grave" approach to MNT development for aerospace applications. The conference will provide a forum to facilitate interactions between four communities:
CANEUS 2006 will bring together key scientists, engineers, program managers, investors and policy-makers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, representing the MNT developers/suppliers and the aerospace end-users. Collaborative investment and development strategies will be addressed at the highest inter-governmental level. The conference format will be arranged to provide each participant with the maximum possible exposure to developments within the following areas:
The conference will consist of:
Topical Areas The conference program will consist of selected contributed paper presentations, invited presentations and papers, and a poster session. Be sure to specify if you would prefer to have your paper considered for an oral presentation or as part of the poster session. Papers are sought that describe novel MNT-based concepts for devices and systems, challenges with MNT-based system development, MNT infusion into missions, perspectives on government and private investment into MNT development, as well as end-user perspectives. The following detailed description of topics is intended to provide ideas for papers and is not meant to limit papers to specifically mentioned topics. In addition, papers dealing with lessons learned in transitioning new technologies to applications are highly sought after and encouraged. Structures and Materials
Needs and Requirements
Investment and Collaboration
Systems and Sub-Systems
Reliability Testing Missions
Abstract Submittal: Technical paper abstract submissions will be accepted electronically through Web site. Simply click the “Submit a paper” button to initiate the process. The Web site will be open for abstract submittal starting October14, 2005. The system will allow for file upload in the following formats: Word, WordPerfect, Text, RTF, and PDF. When submitting through the Web site, please be sure to designate to which technical area your paper correlates (i.e., Materials, etc.). In addition, papers addressing lessons learned are invited and encouraged. Authors having trouble submitting abstracts electronically should e-mail technical support at: paper_tech_support@caneus.org. Questions about the full abstract submission themselves, should be referred to the Technical Program Co-Chair (s) identified below. Paper selection for this conference will be based on abstracts no less than 250 words with key figures and references to pertinent publications in existing literature. With their manuscripts, authors must include a cover letter that indicates they have received the appropriate company and/or sponsoring agency approval. The cover letter should also mention whether the paper presentation is anticipated to have any special audiovisual requirements other than an overhead transparency projector. CANEUS will not consider for presentation or publication any paper that has been published or is currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors will be required to sign a statement to this effect.
Abstract Deadline The deadline for receipt of abstracts via electronic submission is January 16, 2006. Extensions to the deadline will not be allowed. Letters of official acceptance and instructions will be mailed on or about February 15, 2006 from conference Headquarters. Written papers should be submitted to conference Headquarters by the June 15, 2006 deadline. Most authors are required to submit a written paper prior to their presentation under the Institute’s "no paper, no podium" rule. Prospective authors should keep this rule in mind when submitting their abstracts. This rule will be waived only for a limited number of select authors invited by the organizers to provide presentations on highly current topical subjects of interest. Warning–Technology Transfer Considerations Perspective authors are reminded that technology transfer guidelines have considerably extended the time required for review of abstracts and completed papers by U.S. government agencies. Internal (company) plus external (government) reviews can consume 16 weeks or more. Government review, if required is the responsibility of the author. Authors should determine the extent of approval necessary early in the paper preparation process to preclude paper withdrawals and late submissions. The committee will assume that all abstracts, papers and presentations are appropriately cleared.
