ISOPE 2000

The ISOPE-99 Brest (96 sessions from 45 countries) broke the all-time record-breaking attendance at ISOPE-97 Honolulu (91 sessions), the world’s largest conference of its kind with refereed papers. ISOPE-2000, celebrating its 10th anniversary conference, is again being organized by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE) with 20 cooperating organizations and societies (the list on the back), and hosted by Canada, USA and Brazil. Its objectives are to provide a timely international forum for researchers and engineers.

Prospective authors are invited to submit two copies of abstract in 300-400 words to (1) one of TPC members (session organizers, see backside) or (2) ISOPE-2000 TPC, P.O. Box 189, Cupertino, California 95015-0189, USA (Fax to either ISOPE Colorado 1-303-420-3760 or California 1-408-980-1787: E-mail: meetings@isope.org), observing the above key dates. Abstract should emphasize the significance of the results and/or the originality. Abstract must include the paper title, all author's and co-authors' names, affiliations, full addresses, and telephone and fax numbers amd e-mail address of the corresponding author.
