The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium (IMS) was held in Montreal, QC, Canada, on June 17?22, 2012, and the conference Chair introduced several exciting ideas to stimulate paper submissions to the conference. First, the conference committee made a determined effort to increase publicity, especially in Asia. Second, and definitely more controversial, they reduced the paper length from the traditional four pages to three pages. The thought behind this was that it would make it easier for authors to write a journal paper based on the conference paper because the conference paper would not contain as much technical information. Thus, the authors would have an easier time meeting the IEEE MTT-S threshold that every paper, whether conference or journal, must present substantially new technical material. There were a record number of submissions to the IEEE MTT-S IMS, and there were a record number of submissions to this TRANSACTIONS' "Special Issue on the 2012 International Microwave Symposium." In fact, there were too many submissions for the reviewers, the Associate Editors, and me to complete all of the papers before the deadline for the December issue. Therefore, I have divided the IEEE MTT-S IMS "Special Issue on the 2012 International Microwave Symposium" into two parts, which will be published in this TRANSACTIONS' December 2012 and January 2013 issues. In the January 2013 Special Issue, the Editor-in-Chief will write a full editorial detailing the number of papers, the acceptance rate, and my opinion on the success or failure of the three-page experiment. In the meantime, please enjoy this Special Issue with 32 papers based on papers presented at the 2012 IEEE MTT-S IMS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF) is a conference dedicated to the field of Si-based RF research, which encompasses the material, technology, devices, and more increasingly, circuits and systems, all based on Si for RF applications. Since its first meeting in 1998, it has continuously contributed to the popular adaption of Si technology to RF and millimeter-wave applications. After alternating between the US and Europe for the conference venues for the first five meetings, which were held every 1.5 years, SiRF has been annually held in the US since 2006 as part of IEEE Radio and Wireless Week. The 12th SiRF was held in Santa Clara, CA, January 16?18, 2012. One new attempt made for this year's conference was to encourage the authors of the presented papers to submit an expanded version to this TRANSACTIONS, which would be specially arranged for publication in a single issue if accepted. This was successfully implemented in this issue. Out of 56 papers presented at the conference, including both podium and poster papers, 12 papers were expanded and submitted. After the regular review process, five papers were finally accepted, a brief introduction of which is provided here. The Editor-in-Chief believes these selected papers will provide a more detailed description of the excellent results that were not available with the limited space allowed for the papers in the conference proceeding.

In His historical review on Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) Symposia, our respected colleague the late Theodore S. Saad stated that “Whereas the 1957 Symposium was designated the first annual Symposium of MTT, in reality, it was the climax of a series of microwave meetings that had been held on the East Coast, primarily in the New York City area. The first of the Annual Symposia as we know them today was undoubtedly the meeting that took place in May 1958 at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA.” The 2018 IEEE MTT Society International Microwave Symposium (IMS), which was held on June 10–15, 2018, in Philadelphia, PA, USA, has celebrated the actual 60th anniversary of the MTT Annual Symposia.

The International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic and Multiphysics Modeling and Optimization (NEMO) has emerged as a unique annual forum in the fields of electromagnetic- and multiphysics-based modeling, simulation, and optimization for RF, microwave, terahertz, and other applications. Founded in 2014 by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) and with the aim of stimulating a broad exploration and discussion of “disruptive” technologies of EM-CAD in addition to traditional topics, the sixth edition of this three-continent-rotational conference, NEMO2019, took place in Cambridge, MA, USA, in May 29–31, just before the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) which was also held in Boston, MA, USA.

This article presents information on the 15th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar, and Wireless Communications (MIKON'04) which was held from 17-19 May, 2004, in Warsaw, Poland, where 234 papers from 32 countries were presented. It is worth pointing out that the success of last year's conference should be perceived in the light of MIKON's 35-year-long history. It began in 1969 as a microwave solid-state technology conference and, in 1983, it was transformed into and renamed as a microwave conference. Over the years, MIKON has been continuously modified and expanded.
