The Center for Computational Modeling of Nonstructural Materials at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio will host the Third
Symposium on Halon Replacements: Kinetic Modeling of Flame Suppression
on 22-24 July 1997.  The papers will focus on computation-based work on
the kinetics of halon and halon alternatives, with experimental work
included as necessary for validation of results.  Papers will consist
of invited and contributed papers. Attached below is a preliminary list of
speakers/titles.

Additional information and registration materials for this meeting can be
