Procedures for Abstract Submisson
Abstract and Manuscript Submission Guidelines
Warning-Technology Transfer Considerations
Prospective authors who are U.S. Persons (U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents who are not explicitly acting as agents of a non-U.S. entity) are reminded that technology transfer guidelines have extended considerably the time required for review of abstracts and completed papers by U.S. government agencies. All authors are reminded that internal (company) plus external (government) reviews can consume 16 weeks or more. Such reviews, if required, are the responsibility of the author. Authors should determine the extent of approval necessary early in the paper preparation process to preclude paper withdrawals and late paper submittal.
Procedures for Abstract and Manuscript Submittal
On the right-hand side of the IECEC website, click “Submit a Paper” and follow the instructions listed on the screen to follow.
This Web site will be open for abstract submittal starting 19 August 2009 and remain open through 19 November 2009. If you have questions regarding the abstract or manuscript criteria or questions about AIAA policy, please contact the Technical Papers Specialist, Ann Ames, at anna@aiaa.org or 703.264.7549. If you have any difficulty with the submittal process, please e-mail ScholarOne Technical Support at ts.acsupport@thomson.com or call the direct number 434.964.4100; or the toll free number (U.S. only) 888.503.1050.
Authors will be notified of paper acceptance or rejection on or about 25 February 2010. Instructions for preparation of final manuscripts will be provided by AIAA for accepted papers only. Authors must submit their final manuscripts electronically via the Web site for publication no later than 8 July 2010. IECEC is an unclassified conference. All abstracts and papers by U.S. Persons (U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents who are not explicitly acting as agents of a non-U.S. entity) must be approved through the ITAR, and in many cases other (e.g., corporate) approval processes. Authors are encouraged to contact their company’s ITAR and Intellectual Property point of contact to start the approval process early, thus ensuring timely approval and submittal of the paper.
General Submission Guidelines
Abstracts are to be submitted subject to the following general rules:
- An abstract of at least 1000 words is recommended, with key figures and references to pertinent publication in the existing literature; contact session organizers for specifics. Authors must clearly identify new or significant aspects of their work in the abstract. Abstracts must be received by 19 November 2009.
- The abstract should include key figures that illustrate the primary intent of the author’s message. Dummy figures are acceptable if final data are not available, provided that final data will be submitted with the manuscript. The review and acceptance process will be weighted in favor of authors who submit more relevant documentation of their proposed papers.
- The abstract should not be submitted to more than one technical area. If an author is unsure which area is most appropriate, it is the author’s responsibility to communicate with the technical program organizers in question well before the abstract submission deadline to determine to which area the abstract should be submitted. There is too little time in the review process for an abstract rejected by one technical program chair to be forwarded for review by another.
- Early submissions are encouraged to permit review and discussion of the abstracts among the technical program organizers, by the technical session chairs, and, if appropriate, with potential authors before final selections for the program are made. Abstracts submitted after 19 November 2009 may be subject to rejection without review.
- Authors will be notified of paper acceptance on or about 25 February 2010. An author’s kit, containing detailed instructions and guidelines for submitting papers to AIAA, will be made available to authors of accepted papers.
- As abstracts may be reviewed by non-U.S. persons, if required they should undergo ITAR review.
- Additional guidelines and exceptions to the aforementioned guidelines (except for deadlines) can be made at the discretion of the technical chair.
Publication Policy
AIAA will not consider for presentation or publication any paper that has been previously presented or published or is currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors will be required to sign a statement to this effect. Final manuscripts are due at AIAA by 8 July 2010. A general “no paper, no podium” and “no podium, no paper” policy will be in effect for contributed and invited papers (see immediately below). The length of the paper should be appropriate for a conference paper—not a major project, final report, or final thesis. Videotaped presentations will not be allowed. Submittal of an abstract is interpreted as an intention to attend the conference and to present the final paper.
"No Paper, No Podium" and "No Podium, No Paper" Policy
No Paper, No Podium. If a written paper is not submitted by the final manuscript deadline, authors will not be permitted to present the paper at the conference. Final manuscripts are due at AIAA by 8 July 2010. It is the responsibility of those authors whose papers are accepted to ensure that a representative attends the conference to present the paper. ITAR approval is required for publication and presentation of a paper by a U.S. Person (a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident who is not explicitly acting as an agent of a non-U.S. entity). Coordination of ITAR approval is the responsibility of the author and the author’s organization.
No Podium, No Paper. If an author does not give their scheduled presentation, the paper will be removed from the conference proceedings and list of published papers.

Young Professionals
|
Young professionals are encouraged to participate in the Young Professionals Presentation Program, which provides young professionals under the age of 35 with the opportunity to present their work at a national AIAA technical conference. This program integrates young engineers into the regular sessions and allows them to give presentations covering continuing and in-process design or research works, in addition to completed projects. The Young Professionals Presentation program allows for oral presentations only; manuscripts are not required, but are encouraged. The “no paper, no podium” policy is waived for the Young Professionals Presentation Program; published papers are not required. The program is fully supported by the AIAA Technical Activities Committee. Presentation topics should cover work in which the presenting engineer is engaged or is intimately familiar. To submit your work for consideration, submit a brief abstract (500 words or less) to the topic area for which you wish to be considered and mark the presentation “Young Professionals Presentation.” Abstracts must be submitted as specified in this Call for Papers.
