19th Annual Joint ISA POWID/EPRI
Controls and Instrumentation Conference
52nd Annual ISA POWID
Symposium
Authors, welcome to our conference. Every spring ISA
POWID and EPRI host this technical conference specifically dedicated to
Automation and Instrumentation in the Power Industry. Over the years many
innovations in automation have been presented at this conference. The forum has
rigid non-commercial requirements and peer review for all technical papers
assuring high quality technical content, which sets this conference apart from
most other industry conferences. This guideline is intended to provide you
information regarding the format and submission of your technical paper and
presentations. If you have any questions, please contact your session developer
who is also listed on the program.

Paper, R&R and
Presentation Submittals:
Please submit all of your documents for the conference
to your session developer with a copy to the program co-chairs, Jim Batug and
Aaron Hussey (jpbatug@pplweb.com and AHussey@EPRI.com). Due to the large volume
of email transmittals being handled by our conference volunteers, please assist
us by applying the following email procedures:
·
Prefix your email
subject with your paper number (P0xx) and your last name followed by the purpose
of the email (e.g. P025-Smith, Draft Paper Submittal or P025-Smith, Draft
Presentation Submittal, etc.)
·
Prefix the name
of attached files with your paper number (P0xx) and your last name followed by the
type of submittal (e.g. draft or final paper, draft or final presentation, or
R&R) and a subset of the paper title (e.g. P025-Smith-DraftPaper-HumanFactorCons
or P025-Smith-DraftPres-HumanFactorCons, etc.)
Applying this procedure will stream line the
processing of your documents and reduce the risk of lost or misplaced
documents. We have very tight schedule requirements to complete the technical
paper peer reviews and meet the CD publication deadline of April 1st
and the subsequent presentation deadline of April 15th, so your
cooperation is very much appreciated.
Technical Paper
Guidelines:
Draft technical paper submissions
are evaluated by a peer review process prior to acceptance for conference publication
and presentation. Draft paper
submissions may be Accepted, Accepted with Comments, Conditionally Accepted
with Comments, or Rejected with Comments.
Authors are requested to
resolve comments on drafts prior to final submission. It is important that the draft be submitted on
or as soon as possible after the above Draft paper submission date.
There are three ISA documents that provide the
guidelines for preparation of your technical paper:
·
Guidelines
for Technical Papers and Presentations
·
ISA
Rights & Responsibilities form
It is a firm ISA policy and the policy of
this conference that content cannot be commercial in nature and cannot
represent a sales pitch for a product, service, or company. Please remember that your colleagues are
interested in your technical-based solutions to industrial problems.
Identification of an author's affiliation in the title and one mention of a trade name or trademark in the body of the paper or presentation are acceptable.
Final technical papers are published and distributed
in this year’s conference proceedings and on ISA’s web site provided the final paper and completed R&R form have been submitted prior to the deadline of Mar 20th.
Papers received after the publication
deadline will be reviewed
Presentation
Guidelines:
Presentations are not included on the
conference CD. All presentation must
apply the ISA
POWID/EPRI Microsoft® PowerPoint®
template available from the ISA POWID conference web site. Identification of an author's affiliation in the title and one
mention of a trade name or trademark in the body of the presentation are
acceptable.
Draft presentations must be submitted for
review by Mar. 6th and final presentations submitted by April 15th. Similar to the review of papers, draft presentations are
reviewed for non-commercial content and to ensure the use of the conference
template. Authors may distribute the
presentation at the session, provided the presentation has been approved through the review process.
PowerPoint Only Presentations:
The conference
also accepts presentations without technical papers that are relevant to power
plant Instrumentation and Control topics.
Please review the guidelines for Technical Papers and Presentations as
they also apply to PowerPoint Only Presentations. Although these presentations do not go
through the same peer review process as does a technical paper, the ISA POWID
program committee may similarly accept or reject the presentation if it does
not conform to the Guidelines.
