OBJECTIVE

The first Mediterranean Combustion Symposium was held in Antalya, June
1999. The contribution of 80 papers, 39 posters and 16 plenary lectures
presented by eminent scientists made the symposium a very successful
scientific event. Many of the contributed papers appeared in special
issues of "^ÓCombustion Scence and Technology"^Ô and"^ÓExperimntal Thermal 
and Fluid Science"^Ô Journals. So, the program committee co-chair,
Professor Mostafa M. Kamel (University of Cairo, Egypt), Nevin Selcuk
(Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey), and Federico Beretta
(Istituto di Ricerche sulla Combustione, Napoli, Italy) decided to
continue this success in preceeding symposia.

The symposium 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 technical
program will consist of oral presentation of contributed papers and
work-in-progress communications. Invited lectures will be given by
eminent specialists from all over the world. Contributed papers and
work-in-progress communications will be organized into Colloquia on topics
of special interest.

COLLOQUIA: 

1.Turbulent Combustion and Modeling 
2.Flame Structure and Dynamics 
3.Sprays and Gas Combustion Systems 
4.Internal Combustion Engines 
5.Solid Fuels Combustion 
6.Optical Diagnostics and Radiative Transfer 
7.Fire / Explosions 
8.Combustion and Pollutants 
9.Kinetics 

PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLICATION

The technical program will consists of oral presentation of contributed 
papers and work-in-progress communications. The guidelines for preparation
of manuscripts, submission deadlines and other information are given on
