Internal Combustion Engine Conference revs up in Ottawa

Some of the latest developments in engine design, development and applications will be on display in September during ASME Internal Combustion Engine 2005 Fall Conference in Ottawa.

The conference, sponsored by ASME's Internal Combustion Engine Division, is scheduled Sept. 11–14 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the Canadian capital.

"Engines for Mobile, Marine, Rail, Power Generation and Stationary Applications" is the theme of this year's fall meeting, which will cover R&D advances for diesel compression-ignition, spark ignition, rotary and reciprocating engines. Both light-duty and heavy-duty engines, as well as large-bore internal combustion engine systems for transportation propulsion and power generation will be covered during the conference's technical sessions.

Technical areas to be covered during the Internal Combustion Engine Conference include advanced engine technologies; fuels and combustion; emission technology and issues; instrumentation, control and monitoring; engine simulation and diagnostics; lubrication and friction; engine after-treatment systems; engine design and modeling; engine efficiency improvements; marine, rail, automotive and stationary engine design; fuel sprays; and gas-engine systems development.

In addition to its many technical tracks, the meeting will include an exhibits area for vendors. The conference also will feature the ICE Division's annual Honors and Awards Banquet on Tuesday, Sept. 13, when the division will recognize the outstanding achievements and efforts of some of its members.

Registration for the conference, before Aug. 12, is $300 for ASME members and conference authors and organizers, $425 for nonmembers. After that date, registration will cost an additional $100. Registration for students is $75 without the conference proceedings, and $125 with the proceedings.
