IEEE Research Boost 2016: "Give your research an industrial edge"

Date: Wednesday, September 28, 2016, 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Concordia University, Montreal

IEEE Montreal Section and IEEE Industry Relations invites you to participate in the first Research Boost event to be held in Montreal on September 28, 2016. The aim of this event is to foster collaborative research projects and networking among the industry, government and academia, as well as to present some of the top candidates in their field of expertise. It is an evening event during which invited experts and leaders from the industry, government and academia, will present some of the state of the art innovations in the fields of smart cities, intelligent transportation systems and internet of things. A special session is dedicated to a number of short-presentations to offer a great opportunity for participants, Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows, to present the significance of their research to the industry in front of a distinguished judging panel. All presentations should be in English, and the focus should be on the application(s), technology and industrial aspects, rather than mathematical equations.

Event Subjects

• Smart cities
• Intelligent transportation systems
• Internet of things

• Abstract submission deadline: August 31, 2016 at 23:59 hr (EDT) [Note: no extension]

Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (CJECE), ISSN-0840-8688, issued quarterly, has been publishing high-quality refereed scientific papers in all areas of electrical and computer engineering since 1976.

Sponsored by IEEE Canada (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., Canada), the CJECE complements other IEEE technical journals and will be of particular interest to anyone involved in research and development activities in all the subfields of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) and in particular in the increasingly multidisciplinary areas of ECE. This is one of many avenues for IEEE Canada to provide increased scientific and professional value for its members. As a service to members, subsidies allow the subscription fee to be kept affordable for individuals, libraries, and organizations alike.

We invite you to browse our website and IEEE Xplore, and subscribe to the CJECE. You can subscribe at any time and receive all the issues for the year. For any comments or suggestions, you are welcome to contact us.

CJECE publications covers all sub-disciplines of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This all-encompassing nature allows it to provide support for the wide variety of cutting-edge research and scientific directions in this fast-paced field. To provide the highest value to authors and the readership, the journal boasts an exceptionally short sub-to-pub process. The first decisions are provided to the authors in about 2 months from the date the paper enters the full review process.This is possible thanks to a dedicated editorial team operating the process within the state-of-the-art ScholarOne Manuscripts portal. The publications process is handled like other IEEE technical journals via the IEEE Publications in Piscataway, USA.

The journal accepts papers in two regular tracks of 'original article' and 'Review/Tutorial'. Every year, there are also conference special issues publishing extended versions of distinguished papers of conferences such as the Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE).
