CALL FOR PAPERS LRO Lighting Research Symposium on Light and Color 
February 5-8, 2006 
The Grosvenor Resort - Orlando, Florida U.S.A. 
Organized by the Lighting Research Office of the Electric Power Research
Institute (EPRI/LRO) 

Papers, including both poster and presented papers, are being solicited for
this special LRO Lighting Research Symposium on the subject of Light and
Color. The Symposium will be organized into five sessions beginning with a
one-day color tutorial followed by four half-day paper, poster and
discussion sessions with a particular focus on the problem of communicating
lamp spectral and color rendering properties to users. The Symposium is
designed to be a cross-cutting event for those involved in developing or
using light source color information. Papers from those involved in research
on color rendering and appearance via measurement, model or description in
the light source, graphic arts, visual display, lighting applications and
color measurement communities are welcome. Research work on new ways of
describing and measuring the color characteristics of LED light sources is
of particular interest. 

Prospective authors should submit a Title and Abstract (1/2 page maximum)
together with their contact and bibliographic information without delay to
Terry McGowan, Executive Director, LRO via e-mail to: lighting at ieee.org or
fax to: 216-382-6424. 

The deadline for Titles and Abstracts is October 7, 2005. Abstracts will be
reviewed by the LRO Technical Advisory Committee and Session Chairs and the
authors notified by October 26, 2005. The deadline for the submission of
completed papers is January 9, 2006.

Papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings a paper copy of which
will be available at the Symposium. After the Symposium, a Final Report
including all Symposium papers, summary comments, discussion notes and
supplementary material will be published on a CD-ROM and archived as an EPRI
Research Report. All authors will receive a complimentary Symposium
registration and 2-night accommodations at the Grosvenor Resort.
Additionally, they may request reimbursement of travel expenses up to the
amounts of (USD) $700 (domestic) or $1,100 (international). Reimbursement
funds are limited. A Symposium brochure, registration form and additional
