“Mechanical Engineering for Sustainable Development” from 2nd to 4th December, 2010
The Indian Society of Mechanical Engineers (ISME) is organizing a National Conference on “Mechanical Engineering for Sustainable Development” from 2nd to 4th December, 2010 at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. The Conference is being jointly organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Applied Mechanics, IIT Delhi. It is evident that the major research emphasis for all engineering disciplines in the new millennium has to be in the area of sustainable development. The detrimental consequences of development without due consideration of societal and environmental factors are all too apparent today. The purpose of this conference will be to bring together the Mechanical engineering community to explore, disseminate and strengthen initiatives in the area of sustainable development.
The conference will focus on several issues including:
* Clean energy technology
* Zero emission transportation
* Advanced materials, testing and modeling
* Smart materials and novel applications
* Bio-materials
* Micro and Nano design and manufacturing
* Quality assurance, productivity, product and process management
Call for Papers
Original articles mainly within the above scope are welcome. The presenters should submit an extended abstract of approximately 1000 words online at www.isme10.org with other relevant details. The abstract shall be reviewed by a peer committee. Contributors will be notified about the acceptance of the proposed contribution by 25th August 2010. The format for manuscript will be sent along with the acceptance notification.

Article structure
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to "the text". Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Essential title page information
* Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
* Author names and affiliations. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
* Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
* Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a "Present address" (or "Permanent address") may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required with full-length articles. It should consist of one paragraph of 100-300 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations of chemical compounds or all acronyms should be written in full at their first mention with the abbreviation in parentheses.
Acknowledgements
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Nomenclature and Units
Nomenclature and Units: If symbols are used extensively, a nomenclature list arranged alphabetically, with subscript and superscript symbols listed separately, should be provided. Otherwise all symbols should be identified when first used in the text. Authors are expected to use the SI system of units.
Math Formulae
Present simple formulae in the line of normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Use fraction exponents instead of root signs. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).): Numbers identifying such equations should be enclosed in parentheses and should be numbered consecutively beginning with "1" in the text. Refer to equations in the text as "Eq. (1)," etc., or "Equation (1)," etc., at the beginning of a sentence.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be used only when absolutely essential. Number them consecutively throughout the article, using superscript Arabic numbers. Many wordprocessors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Table footnotes
Indicate each footnote in a table with a superscript lowercase letter.
Artwork
Figures
Embed the figures that you prepare in the text, placing those suitably.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Tables
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either "Unpublished results" or "Personal communication" Citation of a reference as "in press" implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Reference Style
References. References should be indicated in the text by full-size numbers in brackets, e.g., [1], and should be numbered in the order cited. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given. The numbered reference list at the end of the article should conform to the following style:
