Portable Measurement Experts Urged to Submit Abstracts for Presentation and Publication Opportunities

Feb 22, 2017 -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) today launched its Call for Papers for the 33rd annual Coordinate Metrology Society Conference (CMSC), July 17 - 21, 2017, to be held in Snowbird, UT. The eminent membership association for measurement professionals worldwide is once again seeking original, expert-level contributions from portable metrology practitioners. The technical papers can cover a range of topics from scientific research and development, technology benchmarks, case studies covering the successful use of 3D coordinate measurement systems, breakthroughs in metrology and more. Commercial content is not accepted by the CMS. One of the longest running technology conferences in the world, the CMSC remains the premier educational venue where expert and novice metrologists convene to discuss best practices, measurement strategies, and groundbreaking technology implementations.

Abstract submissions for technical papers and presentations are due by March 11, 2017. The CMS Executive Committee peer reviews each abstract, and if selected, the speaker will receive a Notification of Acceptance on April 8, 2017. The CMSC Technical Paper Guidelines for presentations and technical papers can be downloaded here.

The CMS Executive Committee will select the top technical papers presented at CMSC 2017 for publication in the prestigious Journal of the CMSC. CMS members in good standing can also access the technical papers and presentations via the CMSC website. Researchers are also encouraged to cite CMSC technical papers if referenced in their own technical papers.  Conference registration and membership fees are waived for individual speakers presenting at the conference. In the case of multiple authors, the CMS will waive one conference registration and membership fee.
