	Conference Name Change: Effective starting with OMAE2009, the OOAE Division has changed the name of the conference to the International Conference on Ocean, Offshore, and Arctic Engineering. Several years ago, the division's name was changed, and now this name change aligns the conference and division names. In addition, the new name reflects the increased scope of the technical content of the conference, which has evolved over the years and has expanded beyond the original scope, which was reflected in the old name of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering. This decision was made in the February 2008 meeting of the OOAE Division's EC and EEC.
	OOAED Newsletter Spring 2008 issue is published.
	OMAE 2008: 27th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 15-20 June 2008 Estoril, Portugal. This international event promotes technological progress and international cooperation in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering. Website: http://www.omae2008.com
	OMAE proceedings articles have been selected by ISI (Thomson) for inclusion in the Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM Version/ISI Proceedings) (Web of Knowledge), the Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (Print), and the Materials Science Citation Index. This selection is the first one in offshore and ocean engineering area and shows the high quality of the review and publication process undertaken by the OMAE Conference organizers and ASME. Read more about it (and the additional indexes that OMAE proceedings are included in) in the Spring 2008 Newsletter of the OOAE Division.
