Call for Papers Reminder: The 2008 International Conference of Manufacturing Engineering and Engineering Management (ICMEEM 2008) CFP: The 2008 International Conference of Manufacturing Engineering and Engineering Management (ICMEEM 2008) From: IAENG - International Association of Engineers Draft Paper Submission Deadline: 6 March, 2008 Camera-Ready papers & Pre-registration Due: 31 March, 2008 ICMEEM 2008: 2-4 July, 2008, London, U.K. http://www.iaeng.org/WCE2008/ICMEEM2008.html The conference ICMEEM'08 is held under the World Congress on Engineering 2008. The WCE 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. Our congress committees have been formed with over two hundred and eighty committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from different universities like Cambridge, Imperial College, MIT and Oxford etc. The conference proceedings will be published by IAENG (ISBN: 978-988-98671-9-5) in hardcopy. The full-text congress proceeding will be indexed in major database indexes so that it can be assessed easily. The Technology Research Databases (TRD) of CSA (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts), DBLP and Computer Science Bibliographies have promised to index the print proceeding in advance of its publication. And after the publication of the proceeding, print copies will also be sent to databases like IEE INSPEC, Engineering Index (EI) and ISI Thomson Scientific for indexing. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters. Some participants may also be invited to submit extended version of their conference papers for considering as book chapters (soon after the conference). The topics include, but not limited to, the following: Engineering Physiology Biomedical Instrumentation Engineering Statistics Quality Management Systems Maintenance Engineering Reliability and Quality Control Engineering Experimental Design Integrated Product Engineering Engineering Risk and Decision Analysis Computer Supported Collaborative Engineering Human Factors and Ergonomics Computer-Aided Design Computer Aided Manufacturing Computer Simulation Methods Facilities Design and Logistics Manufacturing Processes and Methods Information Systems for the Manufacturing Quality and Productivity Management Optimization Methods Intelligent Engineering Systems Engineering Management and Leadership Management Science Managerial economics Systems thinking and analysis Optimization Integer programming Linear programming Nonlinear programming Assignment problem Transportation network design Simulation Statistical Analysis Stochastics Modelling Reliability and maintenance Queueing theory Game theory Graph theory OR algorithms and software developments OR applications and case studies ========= Submission: WCE 2008 is now accepting manuscript submissions. Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper in full paper (any appropriate style) to WCE{at}iaeng.org by 6 March, 2008. The submitted file can be in MS Word format, PS format, or PDF formats. The first page of the draft paper should include: (1) Title of the paper; (2) Name, affiliation and e-mail address for each author; (3) A maximum of 5 keywords of the paper. Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to should be stated in the email. ============= Important Dates: Draft Paper Submission Deadline: 6 March, 2008 Camera-Ready papers & Pre-registration Due: 30 March, 2008 WCE 2008: 2-4 July, 2008 It is our target that the reviewing process and the result notification for each submitted manuscript can be completed within one month from its submission. The reviewing process is to ensure the quality of the accepted papers in the WCE congress. The conferences have enjoyed high reputation among many research colleagues ( for example, see the http://cs.conference-ranking.net/ or http://www.conference-ranking.com/ or http://www.conference-ranking.org/cs.html ). ============= ICMEEM 2008 Conference Committee Prof. Munir Ahmad Professor, School of Science & Technology, University of Teesside, UK Dr. Ioannis Angeli Lecturer, Higher Technical Institute, Mechanical & Marine Engineering Department, Nicosia, Cyprus Prof. Paul M Braiden (FREng; ICMEEM honorary co-chair) Emeritus Professor of Engineering, School of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Newcastle University, UK Dr Peter Fenn Senior Lecturer, School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, University of Manchester, UK Dr Yee Mey Goh Research Officer, Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath, UK Dr. Ben James Hicks Senior Research Fellow, Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath, UK Professor Simon Hodgson (co-chair) Assistant Dean and Professor of Functional & Advanced Materials, School of Science and Technology, University of Teesside, UK Professor Huosheng Hu Department of Computer Science, University of Essex, U.K. Dr. Winifred Ijomah Research Scientist, Innovative Manufacturing Centre, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath, UK Dr. M.
