ISETGJS 2012 - ISET Golden Jubilee Symposium

ISET Golden Jubilee Symposium will be an event of special significance as it is being organized to mark the Golden Jubilee of the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology. The themes and technical sessions have been planned to provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers and professionals interested in earthquake disaster mitigation to take stock of the research and public policy initiatives during the past 50 years in various aspects of earthquake technology and to chart out future plans. The symposium will also provide an opportunity for the Fellows/Members to review the activities of the society during the past 50 years vis-a-vis the aims of the society, and to deliberate upon what future role the society should play nationally as well as internationally for further developments in the field of earthquake technology.
Organizations and individuals desiring to present papers at the symposium are requested to submit one page abstracts of their papers. The abstract must include the data acquired, if any, and the new findings and inferences drawn. The original and two copies of the abstracts must be sent to the Organizing Secretary on or before March 15, 2012. The abstracts can also be sent by e-mail. Authors will be informed by fax/e-mail about the acceptance or otherwise of their abstracts by March 31, 2012.
Papers are invited on the themes related to earthquake engineering. The length of the paper should be limited to 3000 words and should contain an abstract not exceeding about 250 words. The manuscripts may be sent through e-mail (iset50yr-AT-gmail.com). The paper should contain original research and should not have been published earlier or presented at any other seminar/conference.
The author should mention his name along with names of co-authors, if any, and their affiliations, mailing addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail address. The deadline for submitting full text of the paper is June 30, 2012.
