Instructions for submitting abstracts to the

2009 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium

Deadline for Late Submissions is January 5, 2009

Abstract Submission Instructions

NEW! ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: Abstracts must be submitted electronically. Do not email or mail hard copies to the conference office. Please read the following paper preparation and submission guidelines before preparing your paper. At the end of these instructions will be the links to the Call for Papers, Document Template and IRPS submission site.

Abstract/Paper/Poster Submission: Your submission of original work should clearly and concisely state the specific results, why they are important, and how they relate to prior work.

For papers: Only two-page abstracts will be accepted. DO NOT SUBMIT A COVER SHEET with your paper. The site will only accept 2 pages. Any of the information that was collected on the old cover sheet is collected on the submission site. Abstract submissions should include enough information to clearly indicate the path to develop a final paper. Full manuscripts of accepted papers will be due before the conference.

For posters: You may submit up to two pages. The technical committees reserve the right to accept paper submissions as posters.

For all submissions: Submit a 50 word summary of your work, the technical category of submission; the type of submission (paper or poster); affiliations of all authors and contact information.

Awards: In addition to the Best & Outstanding Paper awards and the Best Poster award, IRPS will be presenting a Best Student Paper Award. To qualify for the student paper award, the IRPS presentation/poster must be given by a student and the first author must be that same student. Please indicate upon submission of an abstract if you would like to be considered for this award.

Late Paper Submission: A limited number of late breaking news full-length manuscripts will be considered on a space available basis. Completed manuscripts may be submitted until January 5, 2009. Accepted late papers will be included in the conference proceedings and in the technical presentations at the conference.
