OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE
The symposium is the fourth in a series on combustion and related topics, held by the scientific communities from countries around the Mediterranean.
The first Mediterranean Combustion Symposium was held in Antalya, Turkey, June 1999, the second took place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, January 2002 and the third in Marrakech, Morocco, June 2003. In the last Symposium more than 100 papers and 10 plenary lectures presented by eminent scientists made the symposium a very successful scientific event.
A set of contributed papers will be selected for post-conference publication in special issues of "Combustion Science and Technology” and "Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science” Journals as it was for the previous symposia. The MCS aims at the common efforts of the scientific communities from countries around the Mediterranean Sea in soliciting works and promoting the participation of scientists, engineers and students from the same area. Participants from all countries of the world are welcome and submission of papers from groups not located in this region is greatly appreciated since it is considered a valuable contribution to enrich different points of view as well as to communicate last achievements in the field. All topics and all the scientific/technological approaches in the combustion field are pertinent to this Symposium. The organizing committee and the colloquia co-chairs are composed of international experts in various disciplines of combustion. The technical program will consist of invited lectures by eminent specialists from all over the world, oral presentation of the contributed papers and posters of the work-in-progress.
