Chairmen, Plenary Speakers (Prof. Catrakis, Prof. Buikis, Prof. Verros),
Reviewers, members of the Committee, Special session Organizers,
Associate editors of the WSEAS Journals, members of the WSEAS Working Groups,
Researchers in the WSEAS, Distinguished university professors, authors, govermental representatives,
industrial partners, commercial sponsors and simple listeners celebrate together
these wonderful and very successful events.
A unique opening with 3 important plenary speeches, two wonderful banquets with live medieval cretan, modern cretan and greek-popular music
with folklore ballets integrated the success of these events, while some optional excursions
in Knossos (the world famous Minoan Palace), in Elounda and in Vai (which is the unique palm forest in a european country) took place
after the conferences.
The conference attendees enjoyed 6 coffee-breaks with
coffee, tea, cakes, sweets, juices, fruit tarts and sweet-pies. During the Coffee-Breaks the
attendees had several opportunities to exchange ideas and proposals for common
projects and collaboration.
Best Student Papers:
The Organizing Committee received the forms that the Session Chairmen filled in
after the end of their Sessions and after additional evaluation and discussion
decided the following.
The Criteria were
a) originality and scientific impact
b) good presentation
c) paper presented by a student
The results of this evaluation are:
The Best Student Paper Award for HEAT TRANSFER, THERMAL ENGINEERING and
ENVIRONMENT
was given to Mr. Stanislavs Gendelis for the paper:
Mathematical Modelling of Living Room with Different Type of Heating
[Authors: Stanislavs Gendelis, Andris Jakovics]
The Best Student Paper Award for FLUID MECHANICS and AERODYNAMICS
was given to Mr. Harald Roclawski for the paper:
Rotor-Stator-Interaction of a Radial Centrifugl Pump Stage with Minimum Stage
Diameter
[Authors: H. Roclawski, D. H. Hellmann]
Banquets: The Conference Banquet (August 21) took place arround the swimming pool.
In addition
to the 45 different greek courses, the participants had the opportunity of enjoying three live bands
with medieval cretan music ("lagouto" and "mandolino"), modern cretan music ("lyra", "lagouto", "guitar") and greek-popular music
("bouzouki", "baglama", "guitar"). The Director of the Orchesters for the medieval cretan music and modern cretan music was the famous "lyraris" (=lyra player) Mr. Thrapsaniotis which is
also Professor in the Superior School of Music at Agios Nikolaos.
Many people also attended a second banquet in August 19 with slightly different music. The other banquet, i.e. the banquet of August 19
included also a great variety of impressive fireworks designed especially for the celebration of the 10 years of the WSEAS.
Prof. Mastorakis (WSEAS Research Department & HNA), Prof. Buikis (Latvian Academy of Science), Prof. Sohrab
(Northwestern University, USA) and Dr. Nikolai Kobasko (WSEAS Heat and Mass Transfer WG)
addressed speeches during the banquet underlining the importance and the prestige of the WSEAS conferences
their scientific impact, their recognition from ALL the citation indeces and their increasing
interest among the scientific community.
They emphasized that these events are annual gatherings in theoretical, computational and experimental
fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer and environment and each scholar, each scientist, each academician, each
industrial practitioner must attend them, if he wants to update and upgrade his knowledge and his experience in
these disciplines.
In his speech, Professor Mastorakis, thanked the Reviewers that improved the quality of the papers with their remarks, invited also the WSEAS participants to contribute with chapters
to the new books:
--FINITE DIFFERENCES (1st book)
--FINITE ELEMENTS (2nd book)
--BOUNDARY ELEMENTS(3rd book)
(See: http://worldses.org/books/call )
and encouraged the WSEAS participants to continue their research efforts.
"Research, Research, Research. WSEAS is not only an organization that publishes journals, books and organizes conferences. WSEAS is a big family of researchers. WSEAS Headquarters
is also a Research Center. Join us. Join in our Research Projects.
Make Research with our teams. This is the future of our society.
Research - Collaboration - Common Research Activities" (part of the speech of Professor Mastorakis, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece, August 22, 2006)
