- Abstract
- The conference was designed to explore methods of improving the communication links between the fire researchers in public and private research organizations and the managers of organizations responsible for the design, production, and operation of public and private buildings. It was based on the hypothesis that a large communications gap presently exists between the fire research community (whose purpose is to produce new knowledge and improved techniques) and those who are responsible for creating and managing buildings, and that the existence of this gap is an impediment to the enhancement of fire safety in buildings.
