Papers for 2004 SNAME Maritime Technology Conference Washington, DC, September 29th - October 2nd Authors who have not yet submitted their drafts should request an extension by contacting Debbie Sirotiak, dsirotiak@sname.org. The earlier a paper is submitted 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 January. 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. To submit the draft, send it to dsirotiak@sname.org. The Ship Production Symposium will again be fully integrated with the SMTC. The tentative due date for submitting drafts/presentations for SPS is January 13, 2004.
