The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (T-MTT) will publish a Special Issue devoted to the conference with substantially extended papers based on papers presented at IMS 2008.  In the journal submission, the IMS Digest paper must be referenced and should be put in context and there should be a minimum amount of repeated material.  Incremental submissions are not acceptable.  The papers must be submitted electronically.  You must not submit your paper or the same results to another conference or journal while your paper is under consideration.  Manuscripts submitted to the Special Issue will be subject to the same reviewing criteria as regular papers submitted to T-MTT.
