SAE 2003 World Congress to feature 22 papers over two days of metalcasting sessions. (Metalcasting Associations).AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System has worked with the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE International (SAE) is a professional organization for mobility engineering professionals in aerospace, automotive and the commercial vehicle industries. The Society is a standards development organization for the engineering of powered vehicles of all kinds, including (SAE), Dearborn, Michigan Dearborn is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in the Detroit metropolitan area and Wayne County, and is the tenth largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, it had a population of 97,775. , to sponsor the presentation of 22 papers at SAE's 2003 World Congress and Expo. To be held March 3-6 at Detroit's Cobo Hall, this annual meeting is the world's largest transportation event. This 2003 congress schedule confirms the growing interest in metalcasting applications in the transportation industry, as last year's program featured only one day of sessions. The technical program is outlined below. Tuesday, March 4-- "Advances in Ferrous Casting Technology" (Morning Session): "Statistical Analysis of the Properties of Thin Walled Castings," K.K.
