Submitting a Tutorial
The PEMD Organising Committee is also welcoming the submission of proposals for Tutorials.
Tutorials will take place on Monday, 10 June, preceding the main conference programme days. and offer insight into new and innovative technologies and projects aligned to and/or impacting the themes of PEMD.
No written papers are required but there is the option to include a formal paper if routes to publish are desirable – special session papers will be treated in the same way as a standard PEMD paper including peer review and the aforementioned publishing and indexing, those wishing to publish an accompanying paper will be subject to the relevant author fees.
Tutorials are anticipated to take anywhere from 2 hours up to 6 hours in length with ¼, ½ and full day options for scheduling available.
All tutorial proposals must be submitted here. If accepted your proposed speaker/s will be asked to submit either a full paper for publication or an abstract (depending on your preference) to be reviewed and including more detail.
The Organising Committee strongly encouraged at least one of the following elements in tutorial proposals:
- Industry led or co-hosted lectures.
- Interactive approaches which may including hands-on demonstrations
and practices but certainly a good degree of instructor to audience discussion. - Application focused session on tools or methods for the practicing engineer.
- Topics that engage the audience in formats that serves to communicate with
the attendees. - Subjects which are aligned with the technical scope of PEMD and may benefit attendees with on-going or future studies or training.
- An approach which seeks to demystify and cover complex subject matter in an easily accessible manner.
Tutorial proposals which would be less desirable are those which:
- Have narrowly focused topics – are too niche.
- Are not well-balanced between theory and examples and case study of application.
- Focus on publicly available research or the ongoing research work of the presenter.
- Attempt to promote products or services. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, including tutorials, please email dthomasson@theiet.org
Submitting a Special Session Proposal
For the first time, the PEMD Organising Committee is welcoming the submission of proposals for special sessions.
Special sessions will be incorporated into the main conference programme and offer insight into new and innovative technologies and projects aligned to and/or impacting the themes of PEMD.
No written papers are required but there is the option to include a formal paper if routes to publish are desirable – special session papers will be treated in the same way as a standard PEMD paper including peer review and the aforementioned publishing and indexing.
Materials presented in the Special Sessions will not be included in the conference proceedings (unless a formal paper is submitted). Each session will be assigned either one or two 60-minute slot(s), subject to the conference programme schedule and proposed content.
All special session proposals must be submitted here. If accepted your proposed speaker/s will be asked to submit either a full paper for publication or an abstract (depending on your preference) to be reviewed and including more detail.
The Organising Committee welcome proposals for special sessions which offer an interactive format:
Informal ‘TED Style’ talks with or without slides:
- Full Q&A panel
- Oxford Style Debate to include subjects debated with strong opposing views
- Fire Side Chat – an observed conversation between a subject matter expert and interviewer
- Workshop sessions exploring possible solutions to a presented challenge
- Other creative or hybrid styles.
Special Session proposals which include at least one of the following will be viewed favourably:
- Significant industry or government participation or involvement in the content development
- Industrial application-oriented
- Collaborative cross-disciplinary topics or teams
- Creative formats outlined above that engage the audience. They are likely to be of interest to an industry audience.
