SELECTION OF PAPERS FOR PRESENTATION: Authors must indicate their choice of Colloquium. Colloquium Co-Chairs will solicit and evaluate written reviews in their topic area and recommend papers for presentation. All accepted papers will be arranged into parallel sessions. Publication in the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute is determined by the Proceedings editorial board, after peer-review, and is not guaranteed based only on Symposium presentation selection.

INSTRUCTION TO AUTHORS OF CONTRIBUTED PAPERS
Please read the instruction on the submission site carefully before submitting a paper.

03 January 2010 Due date is midnight Pacific Standard Time (GMT-5hrs) for receipt of completed paper.
Week of 05 April 2010 Authors notified of acceptance for presentation at the Symposium.

For instructions on submission of papers go to: http://www.combustioninstitute.org

It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that the paper is received by midnight Pacific Standard Time of the due date of 03 January 2010. In anticipation that some authors may have unforeseen difficulties in finalizing or transmitting their papers, the electronic submission site will remain open until midnight Pacific Standard Time on 10 January 2010 to receive late papers. These will be reviewed depending on the response to the Call, the availability of reviewers and the discretion of the Program Co-Chairs.

WORK-IN-PROGRESS POSTERS: To provide a forum for presentation and discussion of work in progress, poster sessions will be scheduled to run concurrently with contributed oral sessions. Presentation in Work-in-Progress Poster Sessions will be determined on the basis of a one-page abstract. A full-length paper is not required. The poster presented in Work-in-Progress Session will not be published in the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute. The sessions will be organized by the Work-in-Progress Poster Co-Chairs, J.-Y. Chen, University of California at Berkley, USA and Hai Zhang, Tsinghua University, China.
