The Arctic Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) has issued a call for technical papers for the fourth International Ice Tech Symposium, which will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from March 20-23, 1990.
The symposium, which covers ships and marine systems in cold regions, will focus on the following interests: modeling of ship/ice interaction; model and full scale tests in ice; ice loads and pressures; structural design criteria; marine systems operations; design and construction of vessels; marine systems for transportation and resource development; future developments; marine engineering; and offshore structures.
The deadline for submitting an abstract, which should be approximately 400-500 words, is February 28, 1989. Notice of provisional acceptance will be issued April 15, 1989. After acceptance, a draft manuscript must be submitted by August 1, 1989. Notice of final acceptance will be issued September 1, 1989.
