Important Dates: 8 February 2008 -- NEW Extended Abstract Submission Deadline 10-12 September 2008 -- 12th MA&O Conference
Dear Colleague, Due to numerous requests the abstract deadline for the MA&O Conference is extended until February 8. We apologize that the AIAA web site was unavailable for part of the day of the deadline. If you experienced difficulty, please try uploading again. The prestigious MDO Award is presented at each MA&O Conference. Nominations are being accepted until February 1, 2008. Please nominate deserving candidates at www.aiaa.org (Honors and Awards, Technical Awards page). Students who wish to enter the Student Paper Competition must upload their abstracts to the Student Paper Competition for Design Optimization session. Those papers will still be presented in the regular parallel sessions. Based on the uploaded full papers, finalists will be selected to continue competing in an additional poster session where judges will select the winner. If students who already uploaded abstracts to regular sessions would like to compete, please contact the Technical Chairs, Dr. Kolonay (Raymond.Kolonay en wpafb.af.mil) or Dr. Martins (martins en utias.utoronto.ca). The MA&O Conference will be held on 10-12 September 2008 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The 12th AIAA/ISSMO Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MA&O) Conference brings together industry, government, and academia to present and discuss the latest developments in MA&O. Please visit www.aiaa.org/events/mao <file:///\\www.aiaa.org\events\mao> to read about the solicited topics in the Call for Papers and to submit your abstract. Sincerely, Afzal Suleman and Bob Canfield General Chairs
