Raghu:

Could you post this Call for 
Papers for me?  It would be greatly appreciated.  I had to have Pushkar at UT 
post an earlier ranting of mine about FE codes, and have had a considerable 
number of responses via e-mail.  It would be easier if the whole newsgroup 
had the attached call.

	Thanks, Ned Patton

                                 CALL FOR PAPERS

Thirteenth Annual ASME International Computers in
Engineering Conference and Exposition

                 Up-Front Engineering in our Global Marketplace

      A large percentage of U.S. industrial corporations have found
themselves thrust into the midst of an increasingly competitive
global marketplace.  The ability to bring products to market of
high quality and utility in a significantly shorter period of time
is no longer a matter of corporate pride, it is a matter of
corporate survival.  Up-Front Engineering, rapid prototyping, and
extremely short product development cycles are increasingly
becoming corporate needs rather than corporate wants.  The up-front
planning required to keep manufacturing costs down and profits up;
cross-functional and cross corporate teams for each product;
organizational and business unit linkages to streamline product
development; and interactive, interdisciplinary teams that include
vendors are all pieces of the new corporate life in the U. S.  In
all of these areas, computer-based tools are the key to this
survival.

      The Thirteenth Annual ASME International Computers in
Engineering Conference and Exposition, to be held August 8 to 12,
1993, at the Marriot Hotel in San Diego, CA, will focus on the
problem of global competition, and the computer-based tools that
can be put to use to provide US industry the ability to bring high
quality and utility products to market in the shortest time
possible.  Technical paper sessions, panel discussions, and
conference speakers will address the issues associated with these
problems on every level of the corporate infrastructure.  Topics
will range from highly technical and results-oriented papers and
panel discussions, to the corporate paradigm shift that is most
commonly required to implement these tools to compete in the global
marketplace.  Vendors on the Exposition floor will be showing off
the products and devices that corporations need to solve these
problems.  Also,in the Exhibitor's Forum, an integral part of the
conference program, exhibitors will be providing discussions of
future trends in their products and the directions that they will
take as companies.

       Also, in its seventh very successful year, the ASME
Engineering Database Symposium will be again be held in conjunction
with this conference.  This symposium will focus on the critical
issues of engineering data management and manipulation, disciplines
which cut across every aspect of an industrial organization.  The
symposium addresses data management and control from initial
product conceptualization, through design, manufacturing, and
product maintenance, and including corporate financial and
strategic planning functions that are vital to survival in our
competitive global environment.

      Technical papers are therefore solicited in the areas of
CAD/CAM/CAE, Engineering Analysis, Rapid Prototyping, Expert
Systems, Robotics, Project Management, Modelling and Simulation,
Engineering Information Management, and those listed below under
each appropriate technical program Co-Chairman.  Papers should be
sent directly to each area Co-Chairman for review for the
conference.  All papers will be given a thorough peer review and,
if found acceptable, will be published in the proceedings of the
conference, and given at the conference.  Papers which are deemed
to have lasting or archival quality will be forwarded to the
appropriate ASME Transactions Journal editor for their review and
potential publication.
