1、Presented at the ASHRAE WINTER MEETING Chicago, Illinois JANUARY 25-29,2003 ASHRAE Transactions: Symposia is ASHRAES permanent record of symposium papers presented at the Winter and Annual meetings of the Society. A symposium chair, appointed by the sponsoring ASHRAE technical committee or other gro
2、up, is responsible for the organization, technical content, and all other details of a symposium. A member of the ASHRAE Program Committee acts as liaison to the sympo- sium chair and provides guidance regarding policies of the committee and the Society. The procedure for review of symposium papers
3、is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The Symposium Chair solicits three to five papers from authors. Authors submit an electronic version of their manuscript through ASHRAE Online using ASHRAE Manuscript Central at www.ashrae.org. Three qualified peer reviewers review the manuscript, deciding on accepta
4、nce, minor changes, mandatory changes, or rejection. Unless a manuscript is immediately accepted or rejected, the author responds to reviewers comments and submits a revised manuscript. The review process will continue a second and sometimes a third time. The goal is to have all three reviewers acce
5、pt the paper for publication. The ASHRAE Program Committee will make final decisions on acceptance or rejection of manuscripts for publication. When at least three papers are approved, the Symposium Chair submits a proposed symposium to the Meeting Program Administrator of ASHRAE following instructions on www.ashrae.org. Authors whose papers are approved are invited to present their papers at an ASHRAE meeting, and papers are published in the Tunsuctions of that meeting.
