[Itenv] Call for Papers: 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment - 19-21 May, 2008 in San Francisco, CA

[Eric Williams (Professor)]

The IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Electronics and the
Environment  (ISEE) is pleased to announce the 2008 IEEE International
Symposium on Electronics and the Environment, to be held May 19-21, 2008
in San Francisco, CA. This is the premier event addressing the
sustainability of electronics products, Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) services, and ICT in complex engineered systems. 

 

The program will include sessions covering the spectrum of issues for
assessing and managing the lifecycle of electronics and technology:
Design for Environment, materials selection, manufacturing processes and
systems, energy management, end-of-life policy and reuse/recycling. The
implications of ICTs for sustainability are addressed with session on
how ICTs interface with manufacturing, distribution and urban systems.
There are also sessions on how other emerging technologies converge with
ICTs to affect sustainability and on systems approaches needed to assess
industry and technology. Participants in the symposium are diverse, with
representatives from industry, government and academia. All presented
papers will be published in the Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE
International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment, published by
IEEE. In addition, select papers will be recommended for publication in
a special issue of the IEEE Transaction on Electronics Packaging and
Manufacturing as well as The Journal of Industrial Ecology.

 

Prospective authors should submit an extended abstract of 800-1000 words
clearly explaining the subject, originality, and relevance to the
symposium on or before November 10, 2007. Extended abstracts will be
peer reviewed. Authors will be entitled to register for the symposium at
a reduced rate and must register for the symposium before the final
paper is submitted. All papers that are selected must be orally
presented at the Symposium by the authors or their designated
presenters. Completed papers are due February 22, 2008 for inclusion in
the ISEE '08 Symposium Proceedings.

Call for Papers.

 

We hope to see you in San Francisco next year. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

2008 ISEE Organizing Committee
