Special Issue 2008IMTC 2008 SPECIAL ISSUE OF IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENTThe I²MTC 2008 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, intended to promote best results presented at I²MTC 2008, will be published in August 2009. Guest Editors
He is a Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada. He is a co-recipient of the 2003 IEEE’s Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award and recipient of the 2003 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Award. He was General Chair of IMTC/2005 and Program Chair of IMTC/97, IMTC/98, IMTC/2002 and I²MTC/2008 . He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement and member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE I&M Magazine.
Dr. Ponci’s research interests include multi-agent systems for distributed monitoring and control of power electronic systems, dynamic data driven simulation, representation of uncertainty and modeling and simulation of uncertain systems. She has authored 60+ technical papers. Her research is mainly supported by the US Office of Naval Research. She serves regularly as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions and Conferences. She is an active member of IEEE PES Working Group on Multi-Agent Systems in which she serves as leader of the Task Force on Agent Research and Applications in Power Engineering. She is Chair of the PELS Committee for Women in Engineering and she was Program Co-Chair of I²MTC/2008. Preparation for manuscript submissionThe 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:
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., I2MTC 08 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 I2MTC 2008 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. 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. Notice: The I2MTC 2008 paper identifier should be put in the upper right-hand corner of every document to be submitted. |
