WELCOME TO THE 2004 ASME-ICED FALL TECHNICAL CONFERENCEWe’ve got a good thing going and it keeps getting better.This year’s Fall Technical Conference has a lot to offer. Notonly is it being held at an excellent location, Long Beach,CA, but the Technical Program is the strongest in the history of the Internal Combustion Engine Division (ICED).Five (5) concurrent sessions will be conducted with over 90technical paper presentations, a panel discussion on“Marine Port Emission” and an entire Track dedicated tothe ARES and ARICE natural gas engine research programs. The ARES & ARICE Track includes 22 paper presentations representing some of the most advancedresearch in the world on natural gas fired reciprocatingengines. In addition, the conference is co-located with theASME Tribology Division conference with opportunities toattend some of their sessions.The social events are guaranteed to be equally as attractive. Join the group at Sunday’s Welcome Gathering, thejoint Opening Reception on Monday evening, and the ICEDawards banquet on Tuesday evening aboard the famousQueen Mary ship, which is listed on the National Registerof Historical Places. You are also invited to join the 4-1/2hour city sightseeing tour of LA on Sunday evening whereyou will visit the city’s main attractions. Finally, don’t missthe technical tour of the Orange County Sanitation DistrictEnergy Recovery Center on Wednesday morning, where 8state-of-the-art internal combustion engines will be on display. These engines burn digester gas and drive generatorswith a total output of 12.4 megawatts.Several years ago the Division’s Executive Committeeembarked on a mission to provide greater variety and opportunity for members of ICED. Historically, the Division hastried to hold the conference at a location hosted by anorganization tied to the industry. However, with the consolidation of engine manufacturers and suppliers over the years,it became a challenge to identify two hosts per year. It therefore, became necessary to seek other venues. In addition,we were also concerned about the quality of the technicalpapers; after all, you don’t have much of a conference without good, high quality technical papers. I believe this conference reflects the success of these efforts, which in turnprovides much greater value to the conference participants.Greg GutoskiChairInternal Combustion Engine DivisionExecutive Committee2004-2005But with success comes new challenges. Over 135abstracts were received for this conference, which resultedin over 120 papers being submitted. In line with Divisionpolicies and our goal to provide the highest standard possible in technical papers, each paper was reviewed by twoto three peers with technical expertise in the subject matter being presented. This effort required 240 to 360 paperreviews by a network of individuals who traditionallyreviewed only 40 to 60 papers. Needless to say, thereviewers and session organizers were a bit overwhelmed.ASME-ICED needs YOU! As you attend the technical sessions, evening events and tour, think about the value of whatyou have received over the 2 1/2 days of the conference andwhat it would have cost to receive the same level of value viaother venues. Think about what you have learned, the contacts you have made, the experience and knowledge gainedthrough your involvement in this event. And recognize thatit was made possible by the efforts of a lot of people. TheExecutive Committee, track leaders, session organizers,authors, and reviewers volunteered their time to make thisconference possible. Why do they do it? Because theyknow that they get more out of it than they put in. Is it coincidental that these individuals are leaders in the industry?How do they gain that status? It doesn’t just happen. It is aconcentrated, well considered, conscious and dedicatedeffort. They get there by prioritizing their time and focusingon efforts that provide them the greatest benefit towardsachieving their goals. Yet they are here and they have invested the time to be committee members, track leaders, session organizers, authors and reviewers. Think about it.As the value of this conference increases, so does the levelof effort required. Please consider volunteering. Sign upas a reviewer. Help organize a session. Get more for youtime and money. Attend the Monday afternoon Associatesmeeting and get involved. You will be glad you did.Enjoy the conference and feel free to ask how you can getinvolved.Neil X BlytheVice-Chairman, TechnicalPrograms2004-2005
