11th Workshop on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas
Williamsburg, Virginia - June 28 - July 1, 2006

Proceedings
As was done in the case of the 10th Workshop on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas held in the US Virgin Islands, the proceedings of this workshop will be published in a Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science http://www.ieeetps.org/ tentatively in the April, 2007 issue. The deadline for receipt of manuscripts will be Friday, August 4, 2006. All submissions will be made using standard IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science procedures. The formal announcement for this Special Issue is given below. This announcement will also be posted in forthcoming issues of IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science.

• Special Journal Announcement - PDF 28K

Submission:

• All researchers in the dusty (complex) plasma community are invited to submit papers for the Special Issue - regardless of whether or not you are able to attend the 11th Workshop.
• All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed following the standards of the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science (TPS).
• Articles published in IEEE TPS are subject to page charges. The conference organizers have secured funding to defray the cost of these page charges. Priority will be given to Workshop participants, students, and researchers from developing countries. To apply for a waiver of publication charges, please read the additional guidelines.

Preparation:

• All manuscripts are to be prepared using the standard IEEE format. General as well as detailed information on manuscript preparation, template files for Microsoft Word and LaTeX are available at the following IEEE website: http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm
• Manuscript files are to be submitted electronically through the IEEE TPS manuscript central website http://tps-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/ as described therein.
• All authors should note that they must submit copyright and page charge forms upon acceptance of their manuscripts which can be obtained from the IEEE TPS website.
• The Guest Editors for the proceedings are the following:

Guidelines required to receive a publication cost waiver

In addition to the general guidelines listed on the previous page, if an author wishes to request a waiver of publication costs by the Guest Editors, then the following additional guidelines must be followed. By following these guidelines, the Guest Editors hope to maximize the number of papers that can be supported by the Workshop organizers. Note that the number of papers to receive waivers will be highly limited.

1. Authors must strictly format their paper following the IEEE guidelines.
2. Authors must limit their papers to four typeset pages. The approximate length of a paper can be approximated by: Typeset pages = [Number of pages of typed, double-spaced text + number of figures + number of tables] / 4
3. Papers can ONLY include black and white or gray-scale images. Color figures require significant additional page charges and, thus, cannot be covered.
4. Authors must submit a request to the Guest Editors (A list with e-mail address will be posted shortly) via e-mail asking for a waiver of publication costs. Please include your name, contact information, and title of your submitted paper. Please also indicate if you attended the workshop and whether or not you are a student. If you are a student, also include an e-mail address for your advisor.

Highest priority will be given to graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. Researchers from developing countries will also be given higher priority for these requests. We hope to support up to 10 - 12 papers using these funds.

Support for this activity is provided by the United States Department of Energy.
