邀请论文在2015年6月18日至19日在加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆市的Anaheim举行的Wildland-Urban界面（WUI）大火的结构点火研讨会。Committee E05 on Fire Standards, the symposium will be held in conjunction with the standards development meetings of the committee.
Wildfires that spread into communities, commonly referred to as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, are a significant problem in Australia, Europe and the United States. WUI fire spread is extraordinarily challenging and presents an emerging problem in fire safety science. While it is accepted that WUI fires are an important societal problem, little understanding exists on how to contain and mitigate the hazard associated with such fires.
Papers devoted to the state of the art in WUI fire research are invited. Of particular interest are research studies (post-fire/case studies, experimental, numerical) that may provide the scientific basis for cost- effective building codes/standards as well as retrofit strategies to reduce the number of structures lost in these fires. These could include:
- Post-fire/case studies;
- Experimental structure ignition and ember (firebrand) accumulation studies;
- WUI暴露计算机建模研究，包括危害和风险模型；
- Studies evaluating mitigation strategies; and
- Statistical studies of wildfire incident data.
Abstracts and papers relevant to these topics are requested. To participate, presenters/authors must submit a 250-300 word preliminary abstract到2014年4月15日. The abstract must include a clear definition of the objective and approach of the work discussed, pointing out material that is new, and present sufficient details regarding results. The presentation and manuscript must not be of a commercial nature nor can it have been previously published. The symposium co-chairmen will notify you by June 18, 2014, of your paper’s acceptability for presentation at the symposium.
