----------
The IEE is organising a meeting in London, England next November that will
provide a technology update and tips from experienced practitioners about this
rarely-discussed but crucial
cross-disciplinary subject. We aim to provide training in "best practice" in
software design.
Our formal "Call for Papers" is attached. If you would like to offer a
contribution it will be welcomed
- and if you are able to copy this request on to any other potential
contributors that too will be
appreciated. IEE membership is not a prerequisite.
We have to get the programme fixed by August 14th - next week - so there is
no time to lose!.

Call for papers: Electromagnetic compatibility of Software
IEE Professional Group E2 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and the British
Computer Society are organising a Colloquium entitled "Electromagnetic
compatibility of Software",
to be held at Savoy Place on Thursday 12th November 1998.
Appropriate software resilience can significantly improve the immunity of
computer-based hardware
that must operate despite electromagnetic interference. Input, output and
network connections pose
particular problems. In cost-sensitive applications the requirement for
filtering and shielding can be
reduced, and in high-integrity systems software can help ensure
fault-tolerant or fail-safe response to
extreme electromagnetic stress.
Accordingly the Colloquium will address the software design techniques that
can improve immunity
to lightning and electrostatic discharge, to radiation from cellular
telephones and other transmitters, and to mains-borne interference. Software
design to minimise emissions will
be of interest. Closely- related hardware such as watchdog circuits will be
covered. Contributions
covering the interaction
between software resilience and EMC testing will be welcomed, as will
descriptions of new
developments and tutorial papers.
Special provision will be made for short contributions describing specific
problems and their solutions.
Prospective authors are invited to submit a title and brief synopsis by
Friday, 14th August 1998 to
Mr R C Marshall, The Dappled House, 30 Ox Lane, Harpenden, Herts. AL5 4HE,
UK
telephone +44 (0) 1582 460815 Email; [email protected]
Those authors whose papers are accepted will be required to submit a final
contribution of up to 4 A4 sides for inclusion in the Colloquium Digest.
