Andrew Jackson Past Conference Chair 2013 Texas Tech University Welcome to the 45th International Conference on Environmental Systems! This year s ICES offers a diverse and interesting technical program with over 200 paper presentations in 40 sessions providing comprehensive coverage of subjects related to thermal and environmental control. With a great lineup of sessions and two outstanding speakers, ICES provides an excellent platform to network and exchange fruitful ideas with your colleagues. Join us for hosted receptions on Sunday and Monday evenings, spend time talking to students as they present their research in the Poster Competition, and enjoy the Awards Banquet on Wednesday evening followed by the world-famous dessert reception. Also, there is a Wednesday afternoon tour of the Boeing 737 advanced manufacturing facility in nearby Renton. The venue for this leading-edge technical conference is quite appropriate, as the Seattle area is known for game-changing innovations in aviation, supercomputers, coffee, Internet retailing, music, and the arts. Attractions include the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Boeing Museum of Flight, and the Olympic Sculpture Garden. The Pacific Northwest landscape features Mt. Rainier, Snoqualmie Falls, Puget Sound, and lakes where you can fish, sail, whale-watch, and kayak. The ICES conference is managed and organized by the ICES Steering Committee, with administrative and technical support from Texas Tech University led by Cindy Smith. The steering committee is composed of representatives of our sponsoring societies, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Chemical Engineers, and the ICES International Committee. The Steering Committee would like to thank the many people who are responsible for making this conference happen. We appreciate the work done by the numerous volunteers who plan and conduct the conference sessions, particularly the authors, chairs, and organizers. Thank you for your contributions. Along with Vice Chair Olivier Pin, who planned and organized this year s technical program, I also want to recognize our event sponsors who help make the conference an enjoyable experience. Thanks to Paragon Space Development Corporation, United Technologies Corporation, and Texas Tech University. Welcome to Seattle! Wes Ousley ICES 2015 Conference Chair

Registration Is Now Open! STUDENT POSTER COMPETITION The ICES student poster competition is a program targeted to stimulate the participation of students and provide an excellent forum for students to present their work in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are ideal for presenting speculative or late-breaking results, or for giving an introduction to interesting, innovative work. Posters are intended to provide students and ICES participants with the ability to connect with one another and discuss the work presented. Each poster will be judged on both the format of the poster and the student s ability to convey the poster content to the judges. University/college students are invited to submit abstracts on their proposed poster by 1 June 2015 per the abstract submittal procedures described below. The student s abstract and poster should be pertinent to ICES; that is, they should follow the same theme of the general conference, focusing on humans living and working in hostile environments with applications inside or outside of terrestrial or outer space habitats or vehicles. Abstracts of approximately 300 words must include poster title, author name(s), mailing and e-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers, and university or college. The first author and the presenting author of the poster must be students. Abstracts must not be more than one page in length and must be doublespaced. Adherence to this format is required. Abstracts that do not adhere to this format will be rejected. Poster abstracts should be emailed as an attachment to Amy Ross by 1 June 2015. Authors will be notified of poster presentation acceptance by 10 June 2015. Each participating student will receive a ticket to Wednesday night s banquet. For questions on the student poster competition, please contact Amy Ross at amy.j.ross@nasa.gov
