ECCE 2019 Summary Report

• Review process worked well – 2 VCs. TCs arranging reviewers in web-based tool & making

recommendations, Reviewer feedback not consistent, VCs review recommendations by Topic Chairs

– Targeting for 5 reviewer comments for each paper (Almost there)

– Final paper approval and sessions created during the April paper selection meeting by Vice Chairs

IAS Presentation First PolicyIAS policy requires that papers be presented at approved conferences to become eligible for review and possible publication in

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications or IEEE Industry Applications Magazine.

•Conferences for which all papers are eligible for review: These are generally conferences where IAS is a financial sponsor, and

includes APEC, ESW, CIC, REPC, I&CPS, PPIC, ECCE, PCIC, and the Annual Meeting. The IAS Executive Board may, from time to

time, add other conferences to this list.

•Conference for which a limited number of papers (typically not more than 20% of those presented at the conference) are eligible for

review: as explicitly agreed in a 'memorandum of understanding' (MOU) between the conference organizers and the IAS Executive

Board.

• The organizers of these conferences are expected to notify authors about the outcome of that selection process and to

forward the list of papers that have been selected for review to IAS.

• Normally, EiC of Transactions, reviews this list and assigns papers to specific committees who are then expected to

promptly invite the authors to submit manuscripts for review.

•Papers originating at conferences that do not explicitly appear in the list on the IAS Web Site are not eligible for review or

publication by IAS, and the authors of those papers should not be given submission invitations.

•Questions about the eligibility of papers from specific conferences should be directed (jointly) to EiC, IAS Transactions, and Chair,

IAS Meetings Department.

Authors should understand that IEEE Policy prohibits verbatim publication in an IEEE periodical of conference papers that are

already ‘in the literature’. To comply with this policy, authors are expected to revise conference papers submitted for review

by IAS. Revisions may include additions or deletions while maintaining the original ‘intent, methods and conclusions’ of the

conference paper, but must always include addition of a reference citation to the conference paper.

New Open Access Journal

Web Only Journal

No Conference

Requirement

How does it work?Scope covers the entire scope of IAS

Papers are open access – everyone can read them without firewall

Anyone can submit, without conference requirements

Like most other journals

Very fast response time

Papers will be accepted, accepted with minor changes, or rejected

Goal is to have papers on Xplore 7-8 weeks from submission date

https://ias.ieee.org/publications/open-journal-of-

industry-applications.html 18



Why are we launching this?

Response to EU “Plan S” and other funding

agency open access mandates

Potential to bring IAS to a wider global audience of

readers and authors

applications.html

Open Access Fees

If paper is accepted, authors must pay an Article Processing

Charge (APC)

Standard IEEE APC is $1750 USD

IEEE Members get a 5% discount

IAS Members get a 15% discount: $1487.50 per paper fee

There are no page charges for overlength papers

Prof. Robert D. Lorenz

1947-2019



In Memoriam - Professor Robert D. Lorenz

Robert Donald “Bob” Lorenz, distinguished IAS member and IEEE Life Fellow, passed away on

January 27, at age 72. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of

Wisconsin, Madison, and the M.B.A. degree from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. From

1969 to 1970, he did his Master thesis research in adaptive control of machine tools at the Technical

University of Aachen. From 1972 to 1982, he was a member of the research staff with the Gleason

Works, Rochester, NY, working on high-performance drives and synchronized motion control. Since

1984 he was with the faculty with the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where in 1999 he was named

the Mead Witter Foundation Consolidated Papers Professor of Controls Engineering in both the

Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

In 2016, he was named Elmer R. and Janet A. Kaiser Chair. Prof. Lorenz was Codirector of the

Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium, the world’s largest industrial

research consortium on motor drives and power electronics. He was the Research Leader for control

and sensor integration and integrated modular motor drives with the National Science Foundation

Engineering Research Center for Power Electronic Systems. Prof. Lorenz was the Industry

Applications Society (IAS) President in 2001, an IAS Distinguished Lecturer in 2000/2001, the IEEE

Division II Director in 2005/2006, past Chair of the IAS Awards Department, and past Chair of the IAS

Industrial Drives Committee. In addition to his distinguished service to IAS, he was active in the IEEE

Power Electronics Society, the IEEE Sensor Council, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers,

the Instrument Society of America, the International Society for Optical Engineers, and the European

Power Electronics (EPE) Committee. He authored over 300 published technical papers and held 26

patents. His awards included the IAS Outstanding Achievement Award, the EPE Power Electronics

and Motion Control Outstanding Achievement Award, the IAS Distinguished Service Award, the IEEE

Richard Harold Kaufmann Technical Field Award, the EPE Outstanding Achievement Award, and 34

IEEE prize paper awards.
