Two publications are generated by a CPEM conference:

CPEM 2012 Digest

The first CPEM publication is the CPEM 2012 Digest which contains two-page summary papers that are selected by the CPEM 2012 Technical Program Committee for presentation at the conference.  The instructions and template for a two-page summary papers have a new look, more consistent with the conference proceedings of other conferences associated with IEEE.  Two-page summary papers are due January 22, 2012.

Preparation for CPEM 2012 Digest Submission: Instructions for authors.

Paper submission is now closed.

CPEM 2012 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement

The second publication is the CPEM 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE OF IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT

The CPEM 2012 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, intended to promote best results presented at CPEM 2012, will be published in 2013.

The CPEM 2012 Special Issue will contain papers selected on the basis of the results of regular peer review of the manuscripts submitted for consideration by the participants of CPEM 2012. Each manuscript should be based on a paper published in the CPEM 2012 Digest (Proceedings) and presented at CPEM 2012. However, the manuscript MUST be significantly extended beyond the scope of the digest paper (in terms of the overall TECHNICAL content and research results).

Special issue manuscript may ONLY be uploaded in the period of June 18th to July 3rd, 2012. Please DO NOT try to submit your papers earlier, since the CPEM Special Issue folder in Allentrack will not be available. NO LATE MANUSCRIPTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Preparation for Special Issue Manuscript Submission: Instructions for authors (pdf) (doc)

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 digest 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 digest paper, as per the instructions below.
3. The digest 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 digest 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., CPEM 2012 Special Issue). Subsequently, in the same page and in the “Files to Upload” section you MUST upload two files; one containing a detailed explanation of how the paper is TECHNICALLY extended beyond the scope of the digest paper and another which is a PDF copy of the CPEM 2012 Digest 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 CPEM 2012 Digest paper will result in the immediate return of the manuscript to the author(s) as an unacceptable submission.

Notice: The CPEM 2012 paper identifier should be put in the upper right-hand corner of every document to be submitted.
