The IEEE EMC Society is seeking original, unpublished papers covering 
all technologies that are affected by EMC, Signal & Power Integrity.

The committee proposes Special Topic Areas: Biomedical Devices, DC Electrification / Microgrids, EMI/EMC issues for transportation electrification, Wireless Charging; Intentional EMI and Cybersecurity; AI/ML for EMC and SIPI Problems.

Special Sessions are unique dedicated sessions which can be created by working with the Technical Committees. If interested, you should discuss this with one of the Technical Committees to act as the sponsor.

Abstract-Reviewed Papers are an alternative to the 4–6-page Traditional Paper that enables Authors to present their work without the burden of writing a full manuscript. Abstract-Reviewed Papers have a later submission deadline and only require an extended abstract (approximately one page in length).

Poster Papers are Traditional Papers for which the Author chooses to present their work in an interactive, poster session instead of the typical classroom style presentation.

Workshops & Tutorials are an option for authors covering a fundamental topic, a complex project, or a large dataset. Presentation proposals are submitted instead of a journal paper, and presentation materials are collected after the proposal is accepted.

Experiments & Demonstrations are for contributors who prefer to share their work as live experiments or demonstrations.

Guidelines for Authors & Session Organizers

EMC Society policy is that commercialism shall be prohibited in all workshops and technical sessions. This applies to the written paper or notes as well as any presentation format.

All paper and proposal submissions will be uploaded into the Review System using the link provided on the symposium website beginning November 1, 2024. During the electronic submission process, a unique author code is created for tracking purposes. Failure to comply with submission requirements may result in rejection.

Presentations (30 minutes total) for Traditional, Special and Abstract-Reviewed Papers will be a 25-minute LIVE presentation in-person followed by a short question and answer period. Times will vary for Workshops and Tutorials based upon the number of presentations in any given session. Further details will be communicated to authors in due course.

Criteria for Paper Acceptance

• Importance of Topic: Does it have direct significance to the EMC, Signal and Power Integrity community?
• Technical Sophistication and Depth: Does it present information that is a significant contribution, advancement, application, or refinement of the state of the art? Does it expose the reader to a higher knowledge level than currently available from other sources? Is it clear that the work has been substantially completed or is the submission an interim progress report on a long-term project?
• Readability, Clarity, and Presentation: Is the value of the submission clearly defined? Is the material written in clear and concise English with topics presented in an organized and logical manner?
• Novelty and Originality: Does it propose a new, unique, and unpublished concept or expand on an existing premise from a unique point of view? Does it present new information on an EMC, Signal or Power Integrity issue that is still in the developmental stage? Note: Authors should only submit original work that has neither appeared elsewhere for publication, nor which is under review for another publication. If authors have used their own previously published work(s) as a basis for a new submission, they are required to cite the previous work(s) and very briefly indicate how the new submission offers substantive novel contributions beyond those of the previously published work(s). (PSPB 8.2.1.B.11)

Student Paper Contest

Graduate and undergraduate authors are eligible for the Best Student Paper contest. The student must be the primary author and should indicate that they wish to be considered for the contest when submitting the preliminary manuscript. Each student’s professor will be asked to certify that the paper is primarily the work of the student. It is expected that the co-authors of student papers will be limited to those who provided DIRECT contributions to the paper; in general cases the limit is no more than six authors total, including the student.

Student Hardware Contest

A Student Hardware design contest is also being held. Undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D. Students at university/college are eligible to participate in the contest. Topic: Details to follow on symposium website.
