Authors' Deadlines

• 1 March 2011: Submission of full drafts of proposed papers to the respective technical committee identified above.
• 1 May 2011: Notification of acceptance or rejection by the respective technical committees.
• 1 June 2011: Authors to receive instructions for submission of final conference manuscripts.
• 1 July 2011: Deadline for submission of final conference manuscripts to ScholarOne Manuscripts.

General Requirements

All authors must submit a draft of the proposed paper for evaluation by the responsible 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. Papers may 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 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 2011 IAS Annual Meeting. Authors of papers sponsored for presentation by the Industrial Automation and Control, Electrostatic Processes, Industrial Lighting and Displays, Appliance Industry, or Metals Industry Committee may request review for publication following presentation at the IAS Annual Meeting.

At least one author must register to attend the conference, and pay the required conference registration fee, prior to submitting each final manuscript. Student registrants may not submit papers, but students may be listed as coauthors on papers submitted by other conference registrants. Papers that are not actually presented at the conference will not be eligible for publication by IAS.

Please note that not all IAS Technical Committees hold sessions at the IAS Annual Meeting. 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.
