Call for Papers for SNAME Annual Meeting 2004 Washington, DC, September 29 - October 2 To read the Call for Papers click here. Although the deadline for submittals is November 10th, next Monday, papers are already arriving. But we hope for more. Authors who cannot submit their drafts by Monday should request an extension, since papers received later, at least those arriving during November, will also be considered. But preference will be given to the papers submitted on time. The earlier the better, since all papers must be circulated to all of the members of the Papers Committee, who must then have time to read them before the Committee meets in December. Authors should note that this first submittal should be a draft of the paper or a substantial brief, rather than a short abstract - the Papers Committee must be convinced of the value of the content and of the ability of the author(s) to complete the paper. The more complete and convincing the submittal now, the more likely it will be for the paper to be accepted by the Committee. The Ship Production Symposium will again be fully integrated with the SNAME Annual Meeting. The tentative due date for submitting drafts/presentations for SPS is January 13, 2004.
