2012 CMSC Technical Paper Guidelines
Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference

The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), the eminent membership association for
measurement professionals, today announced their "Call for Papers" for the 2012
Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC). The 28th annual event will be held at The Roosevelt New Orleans in New Orleans, LA from July 16 – 20, 2012.

The organization welcomes abstracts for presentations and technical papers submitted by metrology professionals from leading manufacturers, science laboratories, and academia. Suggested topics include industry best practices, scientific research and developments, and successful applications of 3D coordinate measurement systems. The CMSC is the only North American conference dedicated solely to users of portable, high-precision measurement technology used to inspect manufactured and assembled components on the factory floor.

Benefits of Presenting at the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC):

The benefits of presenting at the annual Coordinate Metrology System Conference are three-fold:

1)Presenting provides a tremendous opportunity for exposure and recognition by your peers in the field of coordinate metrology.

2)The Executive Committee waives the conference registration and membership fees for individuals presenting at the annual conference. (NOTE: In the case of presentations where there are multiple authors or contributors, the Executive Committee is only able to waive one conference registration and membership fee.)

3)The Coordinate Metrology Society will publish both technical papers and presentations on the CMSC website. Additionally, peer-selected technical papers will be published in The Journal of the CMSC,which is mailed to a large circulation, and distributed at trade shows or conferences that influence participation at the annual CMSC.
