IAS 2020 : IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting

The 2020 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting will address the technical interests related to industrial applications of electrical energy. Note that while the 2020 IAS Annual Meeting and the 2020 Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition will be collocated in Detroit, the technical programs at these conferences will be separate and will complement each other. Annual Meeting papers are solicited on subjects pertaining to the scope of the participating Technical Committees of the IEEE Industry Applications Society, as listed below. For papers, draft manuscripts (NOT abstracts or digests alone) should be submitted by e-mail to the individuals identified below. Proposals for Tutorials (which may range from 4 hours to 8 hours) should include a detailed outline as well as a list of presenters and their credentials.

Attention: Due to the impact of Covid-19 on the activities, we have extended the due date of paper submission till 3/31/2020. We expect that Covid-19 should be under control by then. However, the 2020 IAS Annual Meeting team will provide facilities to enable remote presentation for authors who can not travel to the conference site under travel ban (Either from US or author’s home country). In either case, the author should still register for the conference. The cost of the registration will be determined later.
