ATMAE 2011 Conference Presentation Abstracts and Proceedings Papers Review Process & Statistics for Presentations and Papers This CD-ROM of the ATMAE 2011 Conference Presentation Abstracts and Proceedings Papers is the result of the work of many authors in technology, technology management, and applied engineering degree programs throughout the United States who gathered to share their work at the 2011 Annual ATMAE Conference, “Rethinking the Future,” in Cleveland, Ohio, November 9 - 12, 2011. This CD-ROM includes all of the conference presentation abstracts that were accepted through peer- review for presentation and publication (except those withdrawn by the authors), and the Conference Proceedings Papers (that are based on accepted presentations) which were accepted through a secondary peer-review process. The reviews of presentation proposals and conference papers were led by ATMAE Division Presidents and Focus Group Chairs. The proposals and papers were reviewed in a double-blind process by a panel of at least three ATMAE members with expertise in the topical area. Using the review criteria (posted on the ATMAE website), panelists evaluated and ranked each paper, and a cumulative rank-ordering system was used to help select the presentations and papers. The ATMAE 2011 Conference Presentation Abstracts were subject to a double-blind peer review process. In 2011, the peer- review process led to acceptance of 77% of presentation proposals, 190 of 245 proposals submitted. Some proposals were withdrawn after acceptance and are not published in the Proceedings. The ATMAE 2011 Conference Proceedings Papers went through a similar process. Authors of accepted conference presentations were invited to submit full papers based on their presentation abstracts. The Conference Proceedings Papers were selected in a double-blind peer review process, with panels of at least three reviewers involved in reading and reviewing each paper. In 2011, of 190 accepted conference presentations, 41 were expanded into longer papers and were submitted for the peer-review process. The double-blind peer review process led to acceptance of 49% of the papers submitted, for a total of 20 ATMAE 2011 Conference Proceedings Papers. These 20 Conference Papers represent 10.5% of the proposals accepted for presentation at the 2011 ATMAE Conference, and only 8.2% of proposals submitted.
