The IEEE established the Sensors Council in 1999 for the purpose of creating a professional society focus for sensor activities, and for starting a high quality, affordable journal. (The major competing journal costs $5,200 per year.) The Council has 26 member societies, with a combined membership of 260,000. EDS is one of the member societies.
The inaugural issue of the IEEE Sensors Journal is scheduled for June 2001. This issue is to consist of a collection of review papers covering a wide range of sensor technologies. The deadline for submissions was 1 September 2000. The call-for-papers, and other relevant information can be found on the Sensors Council website, http://www.ieee.org/sensors.
The subscription price will be $19- per year for IEEE members. The non-member (institutional) price will be $395- per year.
Sensor researchers and users are invited to submit papers and help make the Sensors Journal the leading peer-reviewed sensor publication in the world.
