Historical Data For Since 1968
IEEE International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (ISAF) Conferences
and Time Curves of the 2008 IEEE IUS for Future Conference Planning
NotesThese charts are based on data in the spreadsheet: “0_oper_ius2008_plots_isaf.xls”. Comments in the .xls
spreadsheet indicate where the data were obtained. The data were collected from various reports and from some individuals. However, they are far from perfect. There are many missing data. There may be inconsistencies such as the number of abstracts accepted is more than submitted or less than the number of conference proceedings papers published in some years. These data are what I have so far and many of the original data might have already been permanently lost.
This underscores the importance that, to collect conference historical data, each conference should fill out the standard data collection form “00_uffcs_conf_data_collection_fillable.pdf” soon after the conference while the memory of the conference is still fresh.
Currently, among the three annual UFFC-S conferences, historical data of IEEE IUS are relatively complete and consistent. Thank you all for those who made reports or who provided the data.
Note:
A Microsoft Excel version of these plots for details of the data is accessible at: https://ewh.ieee.org/conf/ius_2008/z_doc_misc/0_oper_ius2008_plots_isaf.xls
