Potential authors are invited to submit extended abstracts via the IMTC website (http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/im/imtc/imtc2009). Each

extended abstract (3 or 4 pages in English) should report results of the original research of theoretical or applied nature It should,

moreover, explain the significance of the contribution and contain a list of key references. It must be prepared according to the abstractpreparation guidelines provided on the IMTC website. Check that website for detailed instructions, and follow the deadlines:

• October 13, 2008 - for the submission of extended abstracts,

• December 19,2008 - for the notification of authors on the acceptance or rejection of extended abstracts,

• March 1, 2009 - for the submission of camera-ready full-text papers.

The extended abstracts will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. The authors of accepted abstracts, who submit the full­

text papers, will be obliged to guarantee that they register for the Conference, pay registration fees, attend the Conference, and

present their papers. A submitted paper will be published in the proceedings only if it is accompanied by the registration form(s) andthe full member/non-member registration fees(s) for at least one of the authors (Student or Life Member fees are not sufficient). A full

registration fee covers the publication of up to two accepted papers; each additional paper under the same registration requires a

publication fee of US$ 50. The authors of papers, presented during IMTC 2009, will be allowed to submit updated and extended

versions of those papers to the Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation & Measurement on IMTC 2009 to be publishedin 2010.
