Call for “War Stories” Raconteurs (Story Tellers)

We are planning to hold a special session on EMC “War Stories” at the 2003 IEEE International Symposium on EMC in Istanbul, Turkey.

The best and runner up stories will be recognized at the awards ceremony, during the Symposium banquet. “War Stories” submitted in writing. They may even be published in the EMC Society Newsletter (no pseudonyms allowed).

Please submit by e-mail only a written version of your proposed “War Story” – 500 to 2,000 words (in free format) to the Symposium Secretariat at emc2003@ortra.co.il no later than the Ides of March (March 15, of course), 2003 (how is that for an historical perspective?)

Please indicate in the e-mail subject line the title: “War Story - EMC’2003”.

The Story should be about an interesting EMC Project in which you were involved, and (hopefully) in were successful in bringing it to a triumphant completion. Like any good story, embellishments and exaggerations are expected, in fact – encouraged! Oh yes! The Story should have a kernel of truth, though.

The chosen stories will be presented verbally at the Symposium in a special “War Stories” session by the authors (or their designee) and should be at least 10 minutes, but not more than 20 minutes long.

An overhead projector will be available for cartoons and notes so you needn’t write on your shirt cuffs or sleeves…
