The final tip in our “Call for Papers” miniseries is to create a Google® search
strategy. In our example, we are pretending that you want to find Calls for
Papers related to PETROLEUM. You should
modify the search strategy to focus on whatever particular topic
interests you. So, instead of PETROLEUM, you might substitute, let’s say,
SOLAR, if that is your area of expertise.

///////
The 9th Annual Asian Downstream
Week is re-invented to epitomize the transformation that refining and chemical
industries are going through now.
Following the successful launch of
operational excellence and supply chain optimisation themes last year, the 2016
event will further explore information technology innovations and dig deep into
how digital manufacturing and automation technologies can help process
operators achieve their throughput and efficiency priorities.
Are you leading the game of digital transformation in the following areas?
•Digital plant development
•Manufacturing process optimization
•A digital safety & environment strategy
•Next generation process automation
•IT/OT convergence
•Sensors & IOT
•Connectivity & security
•Supply chain innovations
•Planning & scheduling efficiency
•Big data in supply chain
•Virtualization
•Risk management
•Analytics & asset management
•Predictive maintenance
•Reliability strategies
•Energy management system
•Analytics & machine learning
•Building people capabilities for digital
We would like to hear from you.
We now invite you to submit abstracts
around these themes for the 2016 Asian Downstream Week. The event will be held
in Singapore from 26 – 27 October 2016 as part of Singapore International
Energy Week (SIEW), hosted by Singapore Energy Market Authority (EMA).
Deadline for submissions: Thursday, 31 March 2016
Important parameters to note:
• Preference will be given to
presentations citing case studies and operating experience from the operators
• Vendor presentations that are
co-authored with operating companies are encouraged
• All other vendor presentations will
be considered on their merit and may be tied to a sponsorship package
Submit your abstract now and add your voice to the industry's most important
gathering!

“Sponges grow in

(American Actor and Writer, b.1955)
Aramco’s second Deep Space, Deep Ocean Forum is
scheduled for September 29-30, 2016, at the JW Marriott Houston. The basic
concept is that, since both deep space and deep ocean are extreme environments,
technology and practices developed for one may well have useful applications for
the other.
Here is what the Deep Space, Deep Ocean Forum Web
has to say for itself …
///////
Aramco is hosting its second Deep Space, Deep Ocean
Forum (DSDO 2016) to continue the mission to advance industry excellence.
The event is designed to bring together leaders from oil and gas, aerospace and
other industries to discuss shared operational challenges – especially those
that arise when working in harsh, remote environments – and also encourage them
to collaborate on technological solutions for safety and reliability.
More than 500 senior executives, engineers, scientists, researchers, academics
and others participated in last year’s inaugural event, which received a 98
percent favorability rating. A number of participants connected with technology
partners and are currently working on projects.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will continue as a
major contributor in planning and participating in the 2016 event.

Get published with “calls for papers”
Most journals will regularly call for papers. These can be on a particular
theme or topic, or a general call for submissions.
How to keep up with these
You can check if the journal you’re interested in has a call for papers by
bookmarking this page, going to the “Submit” tab on Taylor & Francis
Online, or signing up for regular updates in your subject area. You can then
decide if the journal is for you, or adapt your article to fit the journal’s
current focus.

“Write without pay until somebody offers to pay” -- Mark Twain (American
Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910)
A question that comes up so often in this new age of free digital content is
why one would pay
for something that is available at no cost?
Case in point: ePTQ (http://www.eptq.com/).
There is no better publication for keeping current with real world applied technology
in the field of downstream oil and gas.
Subscriptions to the electronic version of the journal require no more
than registering an email account and creating a password.
Still, one is invited to pay for a subscription.
Why?
Here’s why …
“To obtain unlimited access to our online
archive of technical articles, please complete and submit the following
details. Remember to choose a password for yourself.” (http://www.eptq.com/new_subscribe.aspx).
How often have you remembered reading a particular article about a particular
topic which you really want to read again, but you can’t remember the author,
the title, the year, or much of anything?
A subscription to the ePTQ Technical Library helps you deal with this problem.
Even better, it is an easy way to search for articles pertaining to topics
which have suddenly popped up and for which you need quick access.
Given these advantages, this week’s tip is …
