Preamble to the 2010 ICCMME

Australian Institute of High Energetic Materials is one of the developers of the concept of Virtual (Online) Scientific Conferences and Symposia, also known as V-Conferences.  An Interdisciplinary V-Conference on Chemical, Mechanical and Materials Engineering was successfully run at the end of the year 2009.  It has attracted hundreds of participants.  The web-page of this conference is available on-line.  General information on how do the V-Conferences operate can be found here.

A V-Conference is a very affordable, flexible and modern form of conferencing, which allows saving of both time and money without compromising on the scientific merit of the publications.

We are glad to announce that the 2010 Interdisciplinary Conference on Chemical, Mechanical and Materials Engineering (2010 ICCMME) , which is the second conference of this type, will commence on 06.12.2010.  The conference will run for two weeks online, using a specially designed platform called ODDS (Online Direct Discussion Sessions).  Click here to enter a trial version of the ODDS.

There are several events that are associated to the 2010 ICCMME.  These events will run simultaneously using the same ODDS platform as the 2010 ICCMME:
   - 2010 Scientific Symposium on Socio-Economic Impact of Natural Climate Change
   - 2010 International Conference on Apparel Manufacturing
   - 2010 Workshop on Energy and Water Sustainability of Sub-Saharan African Countries
   - 2010 Workshop on Alternative Energy Initiatives in South Asia
The topics and the scientific committees of these events are listed below.

The 2010 ICCMME will run as a V-Conference only.  This allows us to run the conference at low cost and to pass the savings to the conference partakers.  The standard full registration fee is set to 240 Euros and the student registration fee is 180 Euros.  However, we announce a further 60 Euros discount to the standard registration fees, which set the full registration fee to 180 Euros and the student registration fee to 120 Euros.

All manuscripts will be peer reviewed.  Selected papers will be published in the American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Energy & Environment and in the 2010 Annual Bulletin of the Australian Institute of High Energetic Materials.  Manuscripts submitted to the workshops of the 2010 ICCMME will be published in special issues of the Bulletin.
