ISPCS 2007 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions On Instrumentation and Measurement

The ISPCS 2007 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, intended to promote best results presented at the conference. Each manuscript should be based on a paper published in the ISPCS Proceedings and presented at the conference. However, the manuscript MUST be significantly extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper (in terms of the overall TECHNICAL content and research results).

Schedule

  • Submission of Manuscripts: March 15th, 2008
  • End of first review process: April 15th, 2008
  • Submission of revisions: May 15th, 2008
  • Submission to IEEE TMC: June 15th, 2008

The manuscript, together with the accompanying documents viz. the manuscript submission cover letter, the IEEE copyright transfer form, and the overlength page charge form must be submitted electronically using the web-based submission system. Prior to submission of the manuscript, its author, especially if he/she has not yet used that system, should register and obtain a password that will enable him/her to enter the system and read Authors Instructions and Manuscript Upload Instructions. Both instructions contain information of vital importance for the problem-free submission. In particular, Authors Instructions provide the guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript.

The following additional requirements must also be satisfied when submitting the manuscript

  1. The manuscript must be TECHNICALLY extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper, as mentioned above.
  2. At the time of submission, the authors must provide detailed information regarding how the manuscript is a technically-extended version of the proceedings paper, as per the instructions below.
  3. The proceedings paper MUST be clearly referred to in the text and listed as one of the references in the special-issue manuscript.
  4. A PDF copy of the proceedings paper must also be submitted, as per the instructions below.

When uploading your manuscript click on Special Issue Manuscript in the Manuscript Upload Instructions page of the Allentrack System. Then, in page #1 of Submit Manuscript you must choose the proper Special Issue (i.e., ISPCS 2007 Special Issue). Subsequently, in the same page and in the Files to Upload section you MUST upload two files; one with containing a detailed explanation of how the paper is TECHNICALLY extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper and another which is a PDF copy of the ISPCS 2007 Proceedings paper. To this end, you must put the number 2 in the small box in front of Extension Beyond Proceedings & Copy of Proceedings (if any was published) so that the system allows you to upload these two files. Consequently, these two files will be available to the reviewers.

It is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain permission to re-use and re-print materials from the proceedings paper and this permission must be obtained ahead of time from its publisher. An acknowledgement and permission statement required by the proceedings paper publisher must be properly incorporated in the Special Issue paper. The author(s) is (are) solely responsible for this and any other copyright permission-related requirements and issues.

Failure to submit a detailed explanation of the TECHNICAL extension and a PDF copy of the I2MTC Proceedings paper will result in the immediate return of the manuscript to the author(s) as an unacceptable submission.
