Draft of the proposed manuscripts should be sent to the Technical Committee Program Chair Dr. Rajesh Sharma, rsharma@astate.edu
Tutorials
The TUTORIAL program is seeking proposals for presentations on topics in the general technical area of industrial applications of electrical energy, please send outlines and presenter details to: Dr. Joe Sottile by 1 May 2016. jsottile@ieee.org.
Authors' Deadlines
1 April 2016: Submission of full drafts of proposed papers to the respective technical committee identified above.
1 June 2016: Notification of acceptance or rejection by the respective technical committees.
1 July 2016: Authors to receive instructions for submission of final conference manuscripts.
1 August 2016: Deadline for submission of final conference manuscripts to ScholarOne Manuscripts.
General Abstract & Digest Requirements
All authors must submit a draft of the proposed paper for evaluation by the sponsoring Technical Committee. Abstracts or digests alone will not be considered. The draft should identify all authors of the proposed paper, and provide an e-mail address for the corresponding author. All correspondence will be conducted via e-mail. Authors are responsible for assuring that e-mail sent to the corresponding author will NOT be blocked by a spam filter.
Final submission of manuscripts will be done electronically to the IAS ScholarOne Manuscripts site. The submitting author must execute an IEEE Copyright Transfer at the time of manuscript submission. All submissions will be screened for similarity to previously published material. Authors of papers sponsored for presentation by the Power System Engineering Power System Protection, Energy Systems, Codes and Standards, and Metals Industry and Mining Industry Committees will be automatically be reviewed for possible publication in IEEE Transactions on Industry Application or IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, and authors will receive feedback from this review following the 2016 IAS Annual Meeting. Authors of papers sponsored for presentation by the Industrial Automation and Control, Electrostatic processes, and Industrial Lighting and Display Committees may request review for publication following presentation at the 2016 IAS Annual Meeting.
At least one author must register to attend the conference, and pay the full conference registration fee, prior to submitting each final manuscript. Papers that are not actually presented at the conference will not be eligible for publication by IAS.
Students are encouraged to participate in the Annual Meeting, and are welcome to submit papers. Zucker Educational Grants are available to provide financial support for selected students attending the Annual Meeting; for further information, contact the IAS Chapters and Membership Department peter.magyar@ieee.org.
Please note that not all IAS Technical Committees hold sessions at the IAS Annual Meeting every year. If a committee is not listed in this call for papers, you should contact the appropriate IAS Technical Committee or Department Chair for more information.
