Call for 2020 Special Clusters Proposals

The IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL) is inviting proposals for its 2020 special clusters.


The special clusters should be focused on emerging research topics and new developments relevant to the field of interest of the Antennas and Propagation Society.

Submission:
Prospective Guest Editors are invited to submit their proposal to the Editor-in-Chief of AWPL, Prof. Christophe Fumeaux (christophe.fumeaux@adelaide.edu.au). The proposal should contain the following:

1. The title of the special cluster.


2. A 1-page description of the special cluster, clearly highlighting the relevance of the topic and its links to the field of interest of the Antennas and Propagation Society.

3. The names, contacts and affiliations of all Guest Editors.

4. An analysis of possible redundancies with past and current special issues in other journals.

5. An analysis of the capability of the special cluster to attract a sizeable number of high-quality submissions, including a tentative list of potential research groups and researchers that are likely to contribute to the special cluster.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Relevance, significance,
- Cutting-edge nature,
- Potential to attract quality contributions,
- Scientific standing and experience of the Guest Editors.

 

Important dates:
Proposal submission deadline:        31 August 2019
Announcement:                                     15 October 2019 (tentative)
Deadline for cluster contributions:    1 March 2020
Publication of the special cluster:      November 2020
