Invitation
The series of EPMESC international conferences devoted to computational methods
in engineering and science was created by a group of prominent scholars in the
field: Prof E. Arantes e Oliveira, Prof Y. K. Cheung, Prof T. Kawai and the
late Prof Luo Songfa. The first was held in Macao in 1985 and thereafter held
alternately in Macao and a city in China including Guangzhou, Dalian and Shanghai.
The acronym for EPMESC has evolved from the conference title of "Education,
Practice and Promotion of Computational Methods in Engineering using Small Computers"
to "Enhancement and Promotion of Computational Methods in Engineering and
Science". The conference has also grown from one attracting in the beginning
researchers from China and Europe to almost all continents. The ninth EPMESC
international conference will be held in November 2003 in Macao. The Conference
Board and the Organizing Committee invite all involved with development and
application of computational methods in engineering and science to participate
and contribute to the conference to foster creation of knowledge as well as
friendship.

Conference Topics
It is a strong hope of the Organizing Committee that both
researchers, computational method users and practitioners will submit papers
and take full part in the Conference as the interaction between these groups
is of particular importance. Papers presented and discussed in the conference
will form the contents of the published Proceedings.
In collaboration with an International Scientific Committee and with the approval
of the EPMESC Conference Board, the following subject areas have been selected
for presentation and discussion in the technical sessions of the Conference.
Papers in other relevant areas not listed above are also
welcome.
Paper Summary Submission
Paper summaries in English should be two A-4 size pages in
length, typed in Times New Roman font, size 10 to 12 points and of one and a
half spaces. The summaries should state concisely the purposes, methods, results
and conclusions of the work with supporting figures and references as appropriate.
All summaries must include names, affiliations, addresses, telephone and fax
numbers, and e-mail addresses of all authors. It is also required that keywords
(five maximum) that best describe the paper are stated on the summaries after
the author affiliation and before the paper text, on a separate line.
The authors are requested to submit the paper summaries
either in PDF format or MS Word format file before November
30, 2002 through electronic mail (e-mail) to the conference Secretariat
at
e-mail: epmesc2003@um.edu.mo
Please indicate in the submitting e-mail the corresponding author and his/her contact information (postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address) for communication.
Student Paper Competition
A Student Paper Competition is added to the program in this
upcoming meeting. This competition would provide students a unique opportunity
to present their research results before the international scientific community
at a conference attended by leading experts in the field. Students are invited
to submit papers that correspond to the topics of the Conference. Submission
should be of original work, not previously published, and written mainly by
the student; i.e. the student must be the first author. Students with
a University (or equivalent) registration in 2002 and/or 2003 are eligible to
take part.
The paper-summary requirements for contest submission are exactly the same as those for the general papers stated in the last section, except that an extra line stating "Student Paper Competition" must be added in the summary, right after the Keywords line.
Please note that upon acceptance of the paper,
written submission of the full paper is to be accompanied by an official statement
from his/her research advisor affirming the status of the student. The student
must present the paper in person at the Conference, as both the quality of presentation
at the Conference, as well as the technical merit of the paper itself, will
be taken into consideration for the awards by an international panel of experts.
The winners will be announced and receive their awards during the Conference.
Full Paper and Publication
The accepted full papers will be collected in a book entitled "EPMESC
IX - Computational Methods in Engineering and Science" to be published
by A. A. Balkema ( https://www.balkema.nl
) of the Swets & Zeitlinger Publishers ( https://www.szp.swets.nl
). All regular and student papers are restricted to eight pages. Papers
of keynote lecture are restricted to twelve pages. The author instructions and
required format for preparation of the full paper are available below for download.
For your convenience, the Conference Secretariat has prepared an Author
Submission Package for your submission preparation usage. Papers, complete
with illustrations, references and appendices should be restricted to the
specified page limit and printed on good quality white paper, to the same
size and format as required. Please check your paper thoroughly after typing,
especially the legibility of the figures after printing. As the final papers
will be published in their original submission forms, authors are responsible
for the quality of English of the submitted papers. Please check the following
checklist to see if you have included all required material for submission.
Submission Checklist
Please package your documents with cardboard or other stiffness to prevent bending; do not fold. We request that you use postal mail services as appropriate and your package must be received by the Conference Secretariat no later than 15 March 2003. It is important that this date is adhered to as we are working within a tight schedule to ensure that the book is published to a very high standard in time for the Conference. Papers not formatted to the specified requirement, as well as late submissions will NOT be accepted.
