CALL FOR PAPERS

CIE EXPERT SYMPOSIUM on LED Light Sources: 
- Physical Measurement and Visual and Photobiological Assessment -

7-8 June, 2004

AIST Tokyo Waterfront, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and
Technology
2-41-6, Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo 135-0064, Japan

Background:
LED light sources are now widely used in illuminating engineering as well as
in information technology and are expected to be one of the major light
sources in our future life. Despite the wide and rapidly growing use of
LEDs, reliable methods for physical light measurement and visual and
photobiological evaluation are still in question. The CIE organized two
successful symposia on LEDs in 1997 and 2001. There are still yet many
questions left unsolved such as measurement of partial flux and radiance,
visual evaluation such as colour rendering, requirements for photobiological
safety, and so forth. To discuss these issues, CIE Division 1 and Division 2
as well as Division 6 plan to hold a CIE symposium on LED light sources
focusing on items in these areas covered by the Divisions. The meeting will
be held at AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and
Technology) Tokyo Waterfront, Japan in June, 2004 with support from the
Japanese National Committee of the CIE and AIST, Japan.

The Goal:
To discuss and summarize the state of the art on questions concerning LED
light sources (including individual LEDs and clusters of LEDs) in the areas
of physical measurement of optical properties, visual evaluation of colour
and brightness and other visual aspects, and photobiological safety.
Lighting quality of LED sources should also be included. The symposium
outcomes will be used as recommendations for new work items in the
Divisions.

Who should attend:
This meeting is open to everyone with an interest in any aspect of LED
technology. To insure adequate space and support, and to allow distribution
and adequate review of relevant documents, early registration is
recommended. 

Call for papers:
The two-day Symposium will feature Invited Papers and Contributed Papers.
Ample time will be secured for round-table discussions. A Poster session
with a capacity of several papers will be held also.
Contributed papers should deal with one of the following subjects:

Physical measurement of radiometric properties of LED light sources
Photometry and colorimetry of LED light sources
Photometric standard LED light sources
Colour rendering of LED light sources
Brightness evaluation of LED light sources 
Visual performance under illumination of LED light sources
Photobiological evaluation of LED light sources
Photobiological safety standard of LED light sources

Authors are invited to submit two page extended abstracts of their proposed
contributions in English using the Submission Paper Form to be found at the
WEB site of the Symposium:

http://wwwccie.co.at/symp/ledforms.html

Extended abstracts should be sent by e-mail or post to the Chair of the
Symposium no later than 31 January 2004.

(Please do not fax, as the extended abstracts, if accepted, will be used to
print the Abstract Booklet).

Authors will be notified of acceptance of their abstract by 1 March 2004.
Instructions for preparing camera-ready copy of papers will be forwarded to
accepted authors. Final camera-ready copy is due at the Symposium. The
proceedings of the Symposium will be made available after the meeting.

Accepted Symposium contributions will be pre-published for Symposium
participants at the WEB site of the meeting.

Registration

Registration Forms can be found at the WEB site of the Symposium:

VISA, Master Card, American Express credit card will also be accepted.

Because of the limited capacity of the meeting room, there may be a limit to
the number of participants accepted. The organising committee strongly
recommeds early registration.
