ISOPE 2002

Since ISOPE-1992, the annual ISOPE conferences have been the world’s largest technical conferences of its kind with refereed papers. Following the successful organization of 92 sessions for ISOPE-2001 Stavanger, the ISOPE-2002 is 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 Kyushu University and Local Committee. Its objective is 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), (2) ISOPE-2002 TPC, P.O. Box 189, Cupertino, California 95015-0189, USA: Fax 1-408-980-1787; E-mail meetings@isope.org on (3) Online abstract submission, observing the above key dates. Abstract should emphasize the significance of the results and/or the originality. Abstract must include the paper title, all authors’ and co-authors' names, affiliations, full addresses, and telephone and fax numbers and E-mail address of the corresponding author.
