Washington DC - May 30, 2010 - Integrity Research Institute. After three Conferences on Future Energy held in the Washington DC area in the past ten years (1999, 2006, 2009), the Integrity Research Institute (iRi), under the direction of President Thomas Valone, who works part time for the US Department of Commerce, is teaming up with the prestigious Institute for Advanced Studies in the Space, Propulsion and Energy Sciences (IASSPES) from Madison AL to host a joint conference under the umbrella of Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum (SPESIF) to be held in 2011 at the University of Maryland. Under the leadership of its Technical and Publication Chair, Glen A. Robertson, who also works for NASA full time, SPESIF has gained the affiliation with the American Institute of Physics which publishes the peer-reviewed papers Proceedings of SPESIF each year (for the AIP Conference Proceedings page for 2010, see
http://scitation.aip.org/dbt/dbt.jsp?KEY=APCPCS&Volume=1208&Issue=1 in CD and bound book format ). Other exciting symposia that also are a part of SPESIF each year include the Symposium On New Frontiers In The Space Propulsion Sciences, the Symposium On High-Frequency Gravitational Waves, a Symposium on Astrosociology, and the Meeting On Future Directions in Space Science and Technology.
Conference on Future Energy Theme and Objective
The push for future sources of new energy is a long-term program and several Conferences on Future Energy (COFE) have been held in the past, with past Conference Proceedings available (
http://www.integrityresearchinstitute.org/cofe.html ). However, much of these new ideas, technologies, and concepts have already been developed. Therefore COFE has the objective of being a venue to expose these worthwhile ideas while maintaining a flow of innovative theories and concepts and keeping the doors open for advances in more non-conventional approaches that could yield tremendous technological and economic dividends in both investment dollars and potential applications for future generations. The future energy umbrella includes energy, force production and bioenergetics.
Papers presented at the COFE section of SPESIF should deal with experiments, theories, and approaches that will help man achieve both a short-term and long-term solutions to fueless energy for electricity generation and travel, as well as drugless energy medicine. Short-term objectives support the near-term environmental initiative for humankind to live on the earth without burning fossil fuels and off the Earth, to the Moon and Mars. Long-term objectives will lay down the scientific foundation necessary for future generations to extend mankind's ability to survive in other parts of our solar system. These long-term objectives are more pronounced and designed to stretch the intellectual capabilities and imagination of mankind in advanced technical disciplines. This will broaden our understanding and usage of the space environment for communications, power generation/storage, and propulsion.
Conference Sessions
Papers are invited in the following sessions:
D01. New Energy and Bioenergy Developments
D02. Hydrogen and Hydroxy Generators
D03. Alternative Electricity Generation
D04. Solar and Space Solar Power
D05. Advanced Nuclear Energy
D06. Bioelectromagnetics Developments
The "Call for Papers" has been issued for the upcoming SPESIF-2011 joint conference of COFE and the other above-listed symposia, with abstracts due August 15, 2010 and draft manuscripts due a month later. Papers and presentations are invited in all technical areas of the SPESIF-2011, organized by IASSPES. SPESIF-2010 will be held March 15 - 17, 2011, at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. Papers approved by the Technical and Editorial Committees will be publishable in an American Institute of Physics (AIP) proceedings. Interested authors or presenters are invited to submit abstracts for approval by email through the technical chairs listed within the individual descriptions with a copy sent to the editorial chair at
abstracts@ias-spes.org for cataloging. The email submission should indicate in the SPESIF forum, number and title of the technical session in which they wish their abstracts to be considered. The general deadline for submission of abstracts for papers and presentation is August 15, 2010. After this date, approval will depend generally on space availability. The abstract guidelines/template can be found at
