The database consists of detailed information and deadlines about calls for papers for forthcoming conferences and special issues of scholarly journals. These calls for papers are issued by professional bodies, journal editors and other conference organizers in all disciplines and from all over the world. Thus, the database serves as an alerting service for researchers, scholars and students that are seeking opportunities to present and publish their research.
Approximately 10,000 conferences are listed each year along with 1,200-1,500 special issues. These are fully searchable by name, acronym, organizer, location, publisher, topic and other fields. Important dates such as Last Day for Submission of Abstracts or Manuscripts are clearly labeled and are provided well in advance of the event or proposed publication date. A personal alert can be set-up based on any number of keywords and parameters that generates an email notification of newly-announced conferences and publications of interest; new content is added three times per month.
Subject Coverage
All calls for
papers have been classified by
specific disciplines within the following broad areas of specialization:

Dates of Coverage
Current. Scheduled conferences are only listed once the call for papers has been issued; this may occur several years in advance of the event itself. Events that have happened are removed from the database daily.
Update Frequency
Three times per month, with at least 200 new records added.
Size
Over 5,207 records as of July 2013. These represent events that are scheduled to happen; past events are removed from the database.

Browsable Indexes
A browsable index is an alphabetical listing of terms used in a specific field of a database. You can browse this list to see, for example, how conference titles are spelled so you can then select from this list to search and view the conferences of interest. Browsable Indexes are available for the following fields:
Acronym
Conference Title
Descriptors (these are broad subject areas)
Journal Name
Organizer
To access these browsable indexes, first click the purple Search Tools tab above the search form or the results display, then click the Indexes tab. Field Codes

'Science, Technology and Practice'
The main objective of the conference is to create a forum for exchange of ideas
and experience between researchers...
In order to widen the contribution of all participants, the conference format
will comprise parallel sessions...
T2: Topics
* Wave mechanics applied to pile engineering
* Relationship between static resistance to driving and long-term static soil
resistence
* Case histories involving measurement and analysis of stress waves
* Dynamic monitoring of driven piles
* Dynamic soil-pile intereaction models. Numerical and physical modelling
* High-strain dynamic test
* Low-strain dynamic test
* Rapid-load test
* Monitoring and analysis of vibratory driven piles
* Correletion of dynamic and static load tests
* Quality assurance of deep foundetions using dynamic methods
* Incorporation of dynamic testing into design codes and testing standards
* Ground vibrations induced by pile motions
SB: Submission Information
Engineers, researchers, teachers and other professionals are invited to submit
abstracts for review, dealing with one or more subjects of the Conference
related to pile engineering....
Abstracts should be submitted online through official website.
