First Call for Papers
Dear Colleagues,
It is my honor to invite you to the International Magnetics
Conference, INTERMAG 2012,which will be held in Vancouver from May
7th to May 11th, 2012.
INTERMAG is the premier conference on all aspects of applied
magnetism, and allmembers of the international scientific
communities interested in new developments inmagnetism and
associated technologies are invited to attend and submit their
latest findingsto INTERMAG 2012. The conference will provide a
range of oral and poster presentations,invited talks and symposia,
a tutorial session, and exhibits reviewing the latestdevelopments
in magnetism. Selected papers from the conference will be published
in theIEEE Transactions on Magnetics.
We would like to cordially invite you to attend the conference,
actively participate in itstechnical sessions, and contribute to
the continued success of this conference series. Up-todate
information on all aspects of the conference can be found on the
conference webpageathttp://intermagconference.com/2012/.
Vancouver, the site of this years conference, is well known for
its majestic natural beauty,as it is nestled between the Coast
Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently ranked
as one of the "best cities to live in" and is certainly a
beautiful destination to visit. TheConvention Center is located
right in Downtown Vancouver, and the four hotels in whichblocks of
sleeping rooms at special Intermag rates are available are located
within a shortwalking distance from the Convention Center. The
Downtown area holds many of the city'sattractions and is home to
beautiful architecture, fine dining and world class shopping.
Forthe many things to see and to do in and around Vancouver, please
visit the official webpageof the tourism
office,www.tourismvancouver.com.
On behalf of the Management Committee of Intermag 2012, I look
forward to seeing youin Vancouver and to an exciting and enjoyable
conference.
Sincerely,
Jan-Ulrich Thiele

Digest Submission
Digest submission will open on November 14, 2011.The deadline
for digest submission is January 8, 2012.
This deadline will be strictly observed. All digests mustbe
submitted via the link provided on the conferencewebpage at
http://intermagconference.com/2012/.Digests sent via e-mail or
regular mail will not beprocessed or acknowledged. Digests should
be in theform of a two (2) page summary. More details about
theformat are posted on the conference submission web
siteat:http://intermagconference.com/2012/. Authors will beinformed
of the status of their submission via email inearly February
2012.
Presentation
Contributed papers accepted for the Conference will bepresented
either orally or by poster. Authors arerequested to indicate their
preference for giving an oralor poster presentation on the
electronic submission form.The Program Committee will make the
final decision onthe assignment of papers to sessions and the
presentationformat for each session. In the e-mail notice
ofacceptance, authors will be notified of the type ofsession for
their presentation. They will also receive aURL providing detailed
guidelines and instructions foreffective presentation.
Oral presentations will be in the conventional format ofa
12-minute talk by the registered author using an LCDprojector,
followed by a 3-minute discussion period.NOTE: ONLY LCD projectors
will be provided.Authors are expected to bring their presentation
on theirown laptop computers along with a backup copy on aUSB drive
in case of laptop failure. All oral talks will bepresented in this
manner - NO OTHERPRESENTATION FORMAT IS AVAILABLE.
Poster presentations will consist of well-prepared
visualmaterials about the work posted on a designated board,with
the author available to present details and answer
questions during the selected poster sessions. Simplyposting a
hard copy of the paper is inappropriate andwill be marked as a NO
SHOW. The dimensions of theposter boards are 6 feet (1.8 m) wide
and 4 feet (1.2 m)high.
Registration
Online advance registration will be available fromJanuary 9,
2012 until April 9, 2012 athttp://intermagconference.com/2012/.
Registration feeswill not include any meals/meal service.
Publication
If your digest is accepted for presentation at Intermagyou may
contribute a paper for publication in the specia
Intermag issue of IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. Thmaximum
paper length is FOUR (4) journal pages focontributed papers and
SEVEN (7) journal pages foinvited papers. Note that the number of
pages allowehas been increased compared with Intermag Conferenceof
the past. The deadline for manuscript submission iMarch 2, 2012.
Post-deadline manuscripts will not baccepted or forwarded for
review. The review standardwill mirror those used for regular
articles to be publishein IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. Note
thaparticipation in the conference does not guarantee that paper
will be accepted for publication. Additionally, a
least one of the paper co-authors must present theipaper at the
conference in order for it to be considerefor publication. Because
of the time constraints, therwill be no second round of reviews for
papers that arrejected at the initial stage. All the papers will
have twpeer reviews, and the final decision on the publication othe
manuscripts will be made by the Intermag editors.
Student Travel
The IEEE Magnetic Society will award travel grants oup to $1,000
each to a limited number of students in thareas of basic and
applied magnetism. These grants ar
intended to partially offset travel costs for theiparticipation
in the INTERMAG 2012. Financial supporis only for current graduate
students. Postdoctorafellows, undergraduates or non-students are
not eligible
The students advisor must be a member of the IEEEMagnetics
Society. Preference will be given to thosapplicants who are student
members of the MagneticSociety, nearing completion of their
graduate studies anpresenting conference papers. Students who
havpreviously received travel support from the MagneticSociety for
any other conference are not eligible. Th
application web site will open soon after thannouncement of
accepted abstracts. Application formand instructions for all travel
grants will be posteonline at http://intermagconference.com/2012/
unde
Students Travel, after the announcement of digesacceptance in
early February, 2012.
The deadline for submitting applications and letters
oendorsement is February 24, 2012. Incomplete or latapplications
and endorsement letters will not bconsidered. Applicants will be
notified of thcommittees decision in April, 2012.
