This is intended to be a living document that should be updated by each Technical Program Chair from conference to conference. The guide includes the following information: Sample time lines for both the summer Thermophysics Conference and the winter Aerospace Sciences Meeting Location, dates, and Technical Program Chairs for the previous Thermophysics Conferences and Aerospace Sciences Meetings List of session titles and attendance at previous Thermophysics Conferences and Aerospace Sciences Meetings Call for Papers for previous Thermophysics Conferences and Aerospace Sciences Meetings In addition, the following Microsoft Word Format templates are available on disk: Standard Thermophysics Abstract/Paper Review and Evaluation Form Abstract Receipt Letter Abstract Acceptance Letter Abstract Rejection Letter Session Organizer Letter Abstract Reviewer Letter Late Manuscript Policy “No-Shows” Letter Session Planning Form Table of Abstract Submittal Information Table of Abstract Reviewer, Session Chair, and Session Organizer Information Finally, any additional information or hints that will help the Technical Program Chair to more efficiently organize the sessions for the particular conference are also included. For the Joint Thermophysics and Heat Transfer conference with ASME that occurs every four years, some additional coordination with the ASME Heat Transfer Technical Program Chair is required. However, for the most part, the Thermophysics sessions and the Heat Transfer Sessions are organized separately. 5 Time Line for Thermophysics Conferences The job as the Technical Program Chair for summer Thermophysics Conference begins two years before the actual conference takes place. Typically, the Thermophysics Technical Committee (TC) Chair appoints the Technical Program Chair at that time. A typical timeline, including the approximate number of months before the conference, is listed below. The Conference Planner on staff at AIAA Headquarters typically sets the deadlines. The summer conference usually takes place during the month of June. The representatives from each of the TCs that will co-locate for that particular summer determine the site. Additional details will be given later for some of the more important bullets. Appointment as Technical Program Chair (24 months) First Planning Meeting with other Technical Program Chairs, usually at the Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Reno (17 months) Call for Papers due to Bulletin Editor (15 months) Call for Papers appears in Aerospace America Bulletin and on AIAA’s Web Site (12 months) Assemble list of candidate Abstract Reviewers, Session Chairs, and Session Organizers. This is usually initiated at the summer meeting.

Typically, the Thermophysics Technical Committee (TC) Chair appoints the Technical Program Chair at that time. A typical timeline, including the approximate number of months before the conference, is listed below. The Conference Planner on staff at AIAA Headquarters typically sets the deadlines. The winter Aerospace Sciences Meeting usually takes place during the month of January. The site of this conference has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future at the Reno Hilton in Reno, Nevada. Additional details will be given later for some of the more important bullets. Appointment as Technical Program Chair (24 months) First Planning Meeting with other Technical Program Chairs, usually at the following Summer Conference (17 months). I don’t know that such a meeting is still held --IJW Call for Papers due to Bulletin Editor (15 months) Call for Papers appears in Aerospace America Bulletin and AIAA’s Web Site (12 months) Assemble list of candidate Abstract Reviewers, Session Chairs, and Session Organizers. This is usually initiated at the preceeding ASM . (12 months) Ask organizers of special sessions to recruit relevant paper submissions. Second Planning meeting with other Technical Program Chairs, usually at the Aerospace Sciences Meeting (12 months) Abstracts due to Technical Program Chair, typically by May 15th. (8 months) Letters of receipt sent out to Corresponding Authors (7.5 months) Abstracts sent out for review (7.5 months) Complete Abstract Review Process (6.5 months) Complete initial conference program, including assigning papers and session chairs to each session (6 months) Send acceptance/rejection letters and completed Abstract Review Forms to Corresponding Authors (6 months) Final conference program due to AIAA Headquarters, including coordination with other colocating conferences.

There are many minor deadlines in between that are important in meeting the major deadlines. The Call for Papers is printed roughly a year in advance of the conference. AIAA will supply the Technical Program Chair a copy of the Call from the previous year. Sample Calls from previous summer and winter meetings are included in Appendix A. Abstracts will typically start arriving to the Technical Program Chair about one month before the actual deadline. It is the responsibility of the Technical Program Chair to log each abstract and assign it a TP number (e.g., TP-1, TP-2, etc.). Authors are required to send three copies (I am going to recommend to AIAA that this be increased to five) of the Abstract and a completed copy of the Abstract Submittal Form provided with the Call for Papers. It is recommend that you make a single copy of each submitted abstract and Abstract Submittal Form for yourself in case one of the originals is lost in transit to the reviewers or session organizers. Also, it is recommend that a copy of the Abstract Submittal Form be stapled to each copy of the submitted abstracts (Many authors already do this). The TP number should be clearly placed on the Abstract Submittal Form, as this will identify the abstract. Since most of the abstracts will arrive close to the deadline, it is recommended that you log each abstract and make sure you have the required number of copies as they start arriving to you. If you have secretarial help, this will make the job much easier. The information to be logged includes the TP number; proposed session topic area; list of all authors, their affiliations, city, state or country; name, address, phone, FAX and email of the corresponding author; and the title of the abstract. This information can be entered in the abstracts.doc file (MS Word Format) included on the diskette. Later, when using the FileMaker software provided by AIAA, you will need to enter all this information from the abstracts.doc file directly into FileMaker when setting up each session. You should be able to “cut and paste” all this information on a windows-type computer and save a lot of extra typing. In addition, you will be able to “cut and paste” the addresses of the Corresponding Authors for the various mailings you will have to do. The deadline set by AIAA for accepting abstracts is typically October 15th for the summer Thermophysics Conference and May 15th for the winter Aerospace Sciences Meeting. It is not recommended that you accept abstracts after this deadline, even though you will get many requests from authors to extend the deadline. The final decision is up to the individual Technical Program Chair. However, extending the deadline will reduce your review and planning time. (This can be critical for planning the summer Thermophysics Conference, as one must deal with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.) For the summer conference, abstracts should be sent out for review on or about November 1 st and returned to the Technical Program Chair on or before December 1st. For the Aerospace Sciences Meeting, these dates should be June 1st and July 1st, respectively. This will give the reviewers ample time to review the abstracts. Make sure and stress to the reviewers that the original Abstract Review and Evaluation Forms should be returned to you by the deadline, as you will be sending these to the authors with a notification of acceptance or rejection. Delays in receiving the feedback from the reviewers will only shorten you planning time. 8 Either before or shortly after the abstracts are sent out for review, the Technical Program Chair should send out a short letter to each Corresponding Author notifying them of the receipt of their abstract(s). A sample letter is included in the abstract_receive.doc file (MS Word Format) on the diskette and is also shown in Appendix G. This letter notifies the Corresponding Author when they will receive notice of acceptance/rejection (both from the Technical Program Chair and formal notification from AIAA, including the AIAA paper number, cover sheet, and manuscript preparation instructions), and AIAA’s deadline for accepting the final manuscript. Beginning with the Summer 99 Thermophysics Conference in Norfolk, the Thermophysics Technical Committee began enforcing the AIAA Policy regarding manuscript dues dates. AIAA’s printing deadline is usually around mid-April for the summer Thermophysics Conference and around mid-November for the winter Aerospace Sciences Meeting. Authors are reminded that this policy requires that permission to extend this deadline must be obtained from the Technical Program Chair, and that permission MUST be received in advance of the deadline, and that contacting the Technical Program Chair is the author’s responsibility. Authors who do not contact the Technical Program Chair for the required approval before the deadline risk having their paper, and hence their presentation, removed from the conference program. If approval for extending this deadline is granted by the Technical Program Chair, then the authors must hand carry 100 copies of their paper to the conference site. It is recommended that this policy, included in the late_manuscript.doc file (MS Word Format) on the diskette and also in Appendix G., be copied onto a bright colored sheet of paper to catch the authors’s attention and included with the Abstract Acceptance letter. The Technical Program Chair should remind that Session Chairs and the authors of this deadline, presumably via email, as the deadline approaches. Approximately two months after the abstract submission deadline, the preliminary program should be set. You should confirm with your session chairs their participation. At the same time, you will need to send out letters of acceptance/rejection to each of the authors and include copies of the completed Abstract Review and Evaluation Forms for their abstract. Sample letters, abstract_accept.doc and abstract_reject.doc (MS Word Format) are included on the diskette and also shown in Appendix G. Make sure that the reviewer’s names are not visible on the Abstract Review and Evaluation Forms before you send them to the authors. Inform the authors of accepted papers that AIAA will send them formal notification, including paper numbers, cover sheets, and manuscript preparation instructions at a later date. In addition, remind the authors of AIAA’s printing deadline. Finally, and most importantly, encourage them to take the reviewer’s comments seriously when preparing their final manuscript. The comments are provided for their benefit and should improved the quality of their paper. Finally, before the final planning meeting with the other Technical Program Chairs, you will need to enter all the session information, including session titles, session chairs, paper titles, and author information into the AIAA-provided FileMaker software. The software is usually provided for IBM-compatible systems running Windows or Apple Macintosh systems. You should be able to “cut and paste” all the needed information from the abstracts.doc, review_list.doc, and session_plan.doc files into the FileMaker software. Once the review process is completed and the final program is turned in to AIAA, most of your work is done. However, it is very important that you keep in constant touch with your Session Chairs and that they keep in touch with their authors until the conference begins. 9 You will need to notify the Session Chairs and the authors of any changes to any of the sessions or of any important information that deals with the conference, including the manuscript-printing deadline. The most effective way to communicate with your Session Chairs and authors is via e-mail. Other duties during this period include reviewing the preliminary and final programs for corrections or mistakes before they go into print. Changes to the final program can usually be made up until about one month before the conference. If you have any paper withdrawals before this time, you will want to advise AIAA to move up all papers in a given session such that there are no gaps in the program. If you get any withdrawals after the program goes to print, you will have to leave the gap in the session and leave the rest of the papers in their spots as indicated in the final program. However, AIAA will print an errata sheet at the conference indicating any last minute changes. Finally, it is recommended that you are present during the entire conference. You should attend each of the morning speaker’s briefings at 7:00 am on the morning of the sessions. Also, it is the responsibility of the Technical Program Chair to gather any final statistics that may be useful in this document, such as attendance, paper withdrawals, and any other helpful information for your successors. 10 Abstract Review Process It is recommended that at least three independent reviews of each abstract be obtained. A list of candidate reviewers should be obtained about a year before the conference. Given the time frame for reviews, it is recommended to send no more than 3-5 abstracts to any one particular reviewer. TC members are usually expected to help review abstracts. Colleagues in the field also make excellent reviewers. However, make sure that you first request and confirm their participation before you send them abstracts to review, as a common courtesy. Finally, make sure that the reviewers uses only the Abstract Review and Evaluation Form that you supply them. These forms will be sent to the authors for feedback. Blank copies of this form are in the review_form.doc file (MS Word Format) on the diskette. A sample is shown in Appendix F. Please encourage the reviewers to give constructive comments, regardless of acceptance or rejection. In the past, some of the Technical Program Chairs have requested the assistance of other members of the TC to help organize sessions. Requests for Session Organizers should be made about a year before the conference. These Session Organizers are useful in helping to coordinate reviews and/or plan a particular session in a given topical area in which the Technical Program Chair may not be familiar or have significant expertise. The Session Organizers will help to guarantee that the right “experts” are reviewing the right abstracts. To help the Session Organizers, the Technical Program Chair should provide the session organizer with a list of candidate reviewers and session co-chairs. This information can be entered in to the review_list.doc file (MS Word Format) included on the diskette. The following information should be recorded in the file: name, address, phone, FAX, email; abstract review topic(s); and whether the person wants to review abstracts, chair a session, or organize a session. The session_organize.doc file (MS Word Format) on the diskette contains a sample letter to the Session Organizers with instructions on handling reviews and setting up the sessions. In addition, the abstract_review.doc file (MS Word Format) contains a sample letter to the abstract reviewers with instructions on reviewing the abstracts. If you are using a Session Organizer to help you with a session, the Session Planning Form will help them in organizing the session. The following information should be entered into the session_plan.doc file (MS Word Format) on the diskette. This information includes the following: session title; name, address, phone, FAX, email of each of the two session co-chairs; and a tabular list of the abstracts TP number, authors names, and title of the abstract in the anticipated order. Also, the Technical Program Chair or the Session Organizer should indicate whether a VCR would be needed for each paper. This information is usually found on the Abstract Submittal Form. All this information will need to be entered in to the FileMaker software. As before, you should be able to “cut and paste” the required information directly into FileMaker. Additional audio/visual needs above and beyond the standard viewgraph machine or slide project must be determined at an early date as these add extra cost to the conference budget. Since over the last few years, there have been a lot of foreign authors who at the last minute are unable to secure travel funds to the conference, it is recommended that these papers be placed near the end of the session. 11 Session Chairs should be chosen from the list of candidates obtained by the Technical Program Chair, Thermophysics TC members, or other colleagues in the Thermophysics community. It is recommended to assign these duties to someone who knows that for sure they will be at the conference. Authors giving papers in other Thermophysics sessions or co-located conferences make ideal candidates. Also, since many Thermophysics TC members will typically attend the conference since they plan to attend the TC meeting, they also are excellent candidates. Finally, if due to unforeseen circumstances, a Session Chair is unable to attend the conference, plan to have a few “backup Session Chairs” in reserve just in case. Two co-chairs are assigned per session in case one is unable to be in attendance for the entire session. The Session Chairs are responsible for keeping in contact with the authors in their session, reminding them of last minute deadlines or changes to the session, and ensuring that the authors are progressing in getting their papers ready for the conference. The Session Chairs are the first points of contact for the authors in the session. Session Chairs should report the minimum and maximum attendance for their session to the Technical Program Chair. In addition, the Session Chair should report on any late-withdrawals and/or “no-shows”, including reasons to the Technical Program Chair so he/she can keep track of this. 12 Session Planning Sessions at the AIAA conferences usually occur in the morning and in the afternoon. The morning sessions generally run from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon and the afternoon session are typically from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM or 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Since the papers are thirty minutes each, this allows for a maximum of eight (8) papers per session. Recently, AIAA has experimented with a scheduled thirty-minute coffee break in the middle of the sessions, typically occurring after the third paper in the session. If so, then the maximum number of papers in the session is seven (7). The use of the coffee breaks has been at the discretion of the Technical Program Chairs. AIAA prefers that the sessions be as full as possible. Therefore, it is recommended to have no less than five (5) papers in a session. Some invited talks or sessions have one-hour time slots, rather than the standard thirty-minute slot. The use of extended talks is up to the discretion of the Technical Program Chair and the Session Organizers. Finally, due to special events like the Awards Luncheon or special lectures, the times for some of the sessions may be altered. AIAA’s Conference Planner will communicate these possible changes to the Technical Program Chair. The summer Thermophysics Conferences typically have on the order of 20-25 sessions, depending on the number of accepted papers. These sessions are usually spread out over 3-4 days, depending on the number of collocated conferences. The number of Thermophysics sessions at the Aerospace Sciences Meeting usually number 10-12 and are spread out over four days. Session titles from some of the previous Thermophysics Conferences and Aerospace Sciences Meetings are provided in Appendix B. Depending on the popularity of a given topic in Thermophysics, the Technical Program Chair will need to assess the size of the room necessary for the particular sessions. AIAA provides the Technical Program Chair attendance numbers from the previous conference to help in determining the size of rooms needed. This information is also listed in the Appendix. It is the responsibility of the current Technical Program Chair to update this information from his/her conference to help the next Technical Program Chair. AIAA will provide the location and room sizes at the final planning meeting, where the assignment of the rooms will take place. Finally, when planning the sessions, the Technical Program Chair must make sure that no conflicts arise in the program. This includes making sure that a Session Chair is not scheduled to present a paper in a different session or one author who may be presenting two papers is not scheduled to give them at the same time. Also, many of the Thermophysics Session Chairs also act in the same capacity for the other co-located conferences. Therefore, you should check with each Session Chair to make sure there are no conflicts. It is also the responsibility of the Technical Program Chairs from the all other collocated conferences to make sure that sessions with the same or similar topics are not concurrent. Depending on the room assignments and the number of sessions, there may be 2-5 concurrent sessions at a given time in any one conference. Therefore the Technical Program Chairs should do their best to minimize any topical overlaps. 13 Appendix A – Call for Papers Included in this Appendix are sample Call for Papers from the 7th AIAA/ASME Joint Thermophysics and Heat Transfer Conference and the 37th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit. Note that for the Joint AIAA/ASME meetings, AIAA solicits papers only for the Thermophysics sessions while ASME solicits papers only for the Heat Transfer sessions. While there may be some topical overlap between the Thermophysics and Heat Transfer sessions, these sessions are usually organized independently. Combination of sessions is at the discretion of the AIAA Thermophysics Technical Program Chair and the ASME Heat Transfer Technical Program Chair. 7th AIAA/ASME Joint Thermophysics and Heat Transfer Conference Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico June 15-18, 1998 The Thermophysics Technical Committee solicits abstracts of proposed papers on topics in thermophysics relating to aerospace applications. Contributions are sought that describe new and innovative concepts, novel experimental and computational methods, and in-depth surveys. Appropriate technical subject areas include, but are not limited to: Ablation Aerobreaking Aerothermal design Aerothermodynamic and low density facilities Aircraft system and components Computational aerothermodynamics Computational aspects of nonequilibrium flows Computational heat transfer Conduction heat transfer Convection heat transfer Cryogenics Direct Simulation Monte Carlo methods Electronics packaging and cooling Heat pipes High speed flows Nonequilibrium radiation Nonintrusive diagnostics Phase change heat transfer Physical aspects of nonequilibrium flows Plumes Radiation Spacecraft contamination Surface catalysis 14 Thermal control Thermal protection systems Thermophysical properties Other (Please specify) Extended abstracts should explain the purpose and scope of the work, methods used, actual results, and contribution to the field. Authors MUST include a single subject area from the above list. Please write the subject in the appropriate area of the abstract submittal form. The Thermophysics Conference will be held jointly with the ASME Heat Transfer Conference. The call for papers soliciting abstracts for the Heat Transfer sessions will appear in the May issue of the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer and the May issue of Mechanical Engineering. The Thermophysics Technical Committee has approved a monetary award for best paper having a student as first author. Student submittals are thus encouraged and welcomed.

Presently, the review process is underway and you will be notified of the acceptance/rejection status of your submitted abstract by mid-January. Formal notification (including author’s paper number and cover page) from AIAA will be mailed on (or about) February 1, 1998. The Thermophysics Technical Committee and the conference organizers will be enforcing the AIAA policy regarding manuscript due dates. For this conference, the date is April 20, 1998. Authors are reminded that this policy requires that permission to extend this deadline must be obtained from the Technical Program Chair, and that permission MUST be received in advance of the deadline, and that contacting the Technical Program Chair is the author’s responsibility.

Your help is invaluable. To help you in this process, I have included the following: 1. Three copies of each abstract for the topic area you have chosen to organize. 2. A list of colleagues who have volunteered to review abstracts and chair sessions. 3. Copies of the Abstract Review and Evaluation Form 4. A copy of the Session Planning Form I request the following from each of you: 1. Please get at least three (3) reviews for each abstract. You are free to choose any reviewers you wish including yourself. You may choose from the names provided in the enclosed list, members of the TC, or any of your colleagues. Make sure that the reviewers provide feedback in a timely manner as we are operating on a tight schedule. 2. The reviewers do not need to return the copies of the abstracts, just the Abstract Review Forms. Comments, both for rejections and acceptance, should be provided only on the Abstract Review Form. The back page can be used if additional space for comments is required. These forms will be returned to the authors, so constructive comments are appreciated. I am not looking for a specific number of rejections. I want impartial and honest reviews and would like the reviewers to pay particular attention to the completeness and quality of the work and if the authors are promising too much. I would like to maintain high quality papers and minimize the number of late withdrawals. 3. Once you have received all three (3) reviews, please fill out the Session Planning Form with your recommendations for session(s) title, order of the papers in the session, and for two session chairs per session. Please ask the reviewers if they are interested in chairing a session or choose from the list provided. If you feel that an accepted abstract belongs in another session (or conference) then please let me know as soon as possible. 58 4. I request that you send me all Abstract Review Forms and Session Planning Sheets by Thursday, November 20, 1997 or earlier if possible. If necessary, FAX them to me and then put the originals in the mail. The original Abstract Review Forms will be mailed to the authors. If this deadline is a problem, then please let me know as soon as possible. Once I receive all materials, I will take your recommendations and then put together the entire plan. I may have to move some papers around as needed. Please call me or send me an e-mail if you have any questions or require additional information. I again thank you for your assistance in making this conference a complete success.

The Thermophysics Technical Committee, the Technical Program Chair, the Session Chairs, and the Abstract Reviewers devote a great deal of time and energy to organizing a successful conference for its authors and attendees. When there are late and unannounced paper withdrawals or the speakers do not show up for their presentation, the quality and success of the conference is impaired. When you submit your abstract for consideration and it is accepted, you are accepting that you or a co-author will both have the paper available to the conference attendees and will present the actual work. Many of your colleagues travel from all over the world, spending a significant amount of time and money to attend the conference. In many cases, your withdrawal takes away a presentation slot where someone else could have presented good work. This situation reflects badly not only on the Thermophysics Technical Committee who organizes the conference, but also you and your organization. Timely notification of a withdrawal to the AIAA, Session Chairs, or the meeting Technical Program Chair allows the organizers to readjust the program with minimal impact. Several of the withdrawals were accomplished in such a timely fashion. However, many of you did not inform any of us or did so at such a late date that we were forced to leave empty presentation slots, resulting in fragmented and disjointed sessions. This situation is unacceptable. As a result of the withdrawals and no-shows, the Thermophysics Technical Committee has decided to take action to attempt to alleviate the situation. First, authors who withdrew from the conference late will receive this letter, regardless of the reason for the withdrawal. Second, the Thermophysics Technical Committee will maintain a list of withdrawn papers, authors, and organizations, including their reasons for withdrawal. The Technical and Conference Planning Committees are serious about reducing the withdrawal rate from conferences. It is felt that closer attention to the deadlines and professional responsibilities we each have will serve to accomplish this with little additional effort. Finally, those authors who withdrew or were a no-show and did NOT inform their Session Chair and/or the Technical Program Chair with appropriate notice will be placed on two years 61 probation. Probation simply means that if the authors again withdraw or are a no-show without giving proper notice during that two year time frame, then they will be asked not to participate in Thermophysics Sessions (including the Winter Aerospace Sciences Meeting and the Summer Thermophysics Conference) for the period of one year, either as a presenting author or co-author. These steps are felt necessary by the Thermophysics Technical Committee to curtail the blatant offenders. We also realize that in many cases, circumstances beyond your control forced you to withdraw from the conference or prevented presentation of the work. If someone else in your organization made this decision to withdraw your paper or presentation for you, or discouraged a colleague from presenting the work, I encourage you to give them a copy of this letter. Remember that you can always submit your work to one of the AIAA Journals without presenting it in a conference. We thank you for you cooperation and consideration and look forward to serving you and the Thermophysics community with even more successful conferences in the future.
