I²MTC 2011 SPECIAL ISSUE OF IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT
The I²MTC 2011 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, intended to promote best results presented at I²MTC 2011, will be published in May 2012.
The I²MTC 2011 Special Issue will contain 40-60 papers selected on the basis of the results of regular peer review of the manuscripts submitted for consideration by the participants of I²MTC 2011. Each manuscript should be based on a paper published in the I²MTC 2011 Proceedings and presented at I²MTC 2011. However, the manuscript MUST be significantly extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper (in terms of the overall TECHNICAL content and research results).
Special issue manuscript may ONLY be uploaded in the period of June 4th to the 20th, 2011. Please DO NOT try to submit your papers earlier, since the I2MTC Special Issue folder in Allentrack will not be available. NO LATE MANUSCRIPTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
GUEST EDITORS
Yong Yan received the B.Eng. and M.Sc. in instrumentation and control engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1985 and 1988, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in solids flow measurement and instrumentation from the University of Teesside, Middlesbrough, U.K., in 1992. Dr. Yan started his academic career in 1988 as an Assistant Lecturer at Tsinghua University. In 1989 he joined the University of Teesside as a Research Assistant. After a short period of postdoctoral research, he worked initially as a lecturer with the University of Teesside during 1993-1996, and then as a senior lecturer, reader and professor, respectively, with the University of Greenwich during 1996-2004. He is currently a Professor of Electronic Instrumentation, the Head of Instrumentation, Control and Embedded Systems Research Group, and the Director of Research at the School of Engineering and Digital Arts, the University of Kent, Canterbury, U.K.
Dr. Yan has published in excess of 260 research papers in archived journals and conference proceedings. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering Technology (formerly IEE), the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Measurement and Control, U.K. He is a member of five UK national technical committees and expert panels. He was appointed as Kuang-Piu Guest Professor at Zhejiang University and Yangtze Scholar Professor at Tianjin University, P R China in 2005 and 2006, respectively. In recognition of his contributions in particle flow measurement and combustion flame imaging, Dr. Yan was awarded the Achievement Medal by the IEE in 2003 and the Engineering Innovation Prize by the IET in 2006 and the Rushlight Commendation Award in 2009, respectively. He has been teaching electronic instrumentation and related modules on both undergraduate and postgraduate levels for more than 17 years. His contribution in engineering education was recognized by a national award from the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2007.

PREPARATION FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
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 requirementsmust also be satisfied when submitting the manuscript:
- The manuscript must be TECHNICALLY extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper, as mentioned above.
- At the time of submission, the authors must provide detailed information regarding how the manuscript is a technically-extended version of the proceedings paper, as per the instructions below.
- The proceedings paper MUST be clearly referred to in the text and listed as one of the references in the special-issue manuscript.
- A PDF copy of the proceedings 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., I2MTC 11 Special Issue). Subsequently, in the same page and in the “Files to Upload” section you MUST upload two files; one with containing a detailed explanation of how the paper is TECHNICALLY extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper and another which is a PDF copy of the I2MTC 2011 Proceedings 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 I2MTC Proceedings paper will result in the immediate return of the manuscript to the author(s) as an unacceptable submission.
Notice: The I2MTC 2011 paper identifier should be put in the upper right-hand corner of every document to be submitted.
