COMODIA 2017 Conference Overview
Background and Purpose
    The International Conference on Modeling and Diagnostics for Advanced Engine Systems (COMODIA) has a long history. The first COMODIA was held in 1985, under the name “The International Symposium on the Diagnostics and Modeling of Combustion in Internal Combustion Engines” and was organized by the Engine System Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Subsequently, COMODIA was held in 1990, 1994, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2008, and 2012. Initially, papers were presented on combustion diagnostics and modeling internal combustion engines, including papers on laser diagnostics, numerical simulation, and combustion technologies, and great contributions to the development of internal combustion engines were made. However, because of increasing demands for engine performance, more integrated and broader strategies have been required of engineers and researchers in the field of engine systems. Therefore, the full name of the conference was changed in 2008 though the name of COMODIA has been used. Now, we are facing the next stage of development of engine systems, which requires the achievement of greater thermal efficiency with reduced exhaust emissions.
    COMODIA 2017 will have five sessions on special topics: “Modeling for engine simulation”; “Heat transfer measurement and analysis”; “Chemical reaction analysis”; “Novel measurement”; and “After treatment”. Other topics are welcome, including various combustion technologies for internal combustion engines and engine control.
    This conference considers all engines, regardless of the size of the engine, including car, ship, stationary gas, and small engines. One of the objectives of COMODIA was to reveal physical and chemical phenomena in internal combustion engines. Another purpose was to provide a discussion opportunity for researchers and engineers, gathered from all over the world, to create technologies to control engines under the best conditions based on scientific knowledge through modeling.

Reviewing Process
A two-step qualification process is adopted for papers to be presented at COMODIA 2017. In the first step, all the abstracts submitted are evaluated. In the second step, full papers are evaluated by reviewers.

Abstract submission must be made through online abstract submission system not later than January 27, 2017. Abstract should be no longer than 300 words. Abstract should include title, first and family names of contact person, all author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), full address with postal code, telephone/fax number, email address and some key words. Acceptance notification will be made by February 17, 2017.

Authors of accepted contributions are required to submit full-paper drafts not later than March 31, 2017. Reviewers' comments will be sent to the authors for possible revision in the second step. Acceptance notification for presentation will be made by April 28, 2017. The final camera-ready paper to be included in the proceedings must be received by May 19, 2017.
