The IEEE standards for accepting a conference paper and those for publication in one of their journals are vastly different.
Conference papers are accepted purely on the basis of an abstract, with no peer review except by the session chairs, who often have a quota of slots to fill.

Conference papers are not always simply evaluated on the basis of the abstract. The IEEE is a vast organization with a great many special interest groups who put on their own conferences and have their own standards for acceptance. I have a paper in an IEEE SSCI conference from this year.
Elsberry, W, R., Grabowski L. M., Ofria C., and Pennock R. T. (2009). Cockroaches, drunkards, and climbers: modeling the evolution of simple movement strategies using digital organisms. IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, March 30 - April 2, 2009, Nashville, TN.
The full paper was evaluated for submission to the session, and the full paper is published in the proceedings. But, in general, peer review is less onerous for conferences. The computer science field tends to place much higher value on conference-based publications than one would expect coming from biology and zoology, where they are treated more like exploratory talks than a final product.
But you should look up the call for papers and instructions for authors for the particular conference or the conference series in order to find out what the reviewers actually had in hand to evaluate. |
According to the conference web pages regular session papers have been peer reviewed: | Quote |
Regular Session Papers
Prospective authors are invited to submit their full-length papers electronically through the following link. Each paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow critical review. Each paper will be judged by at least two referees. The final paper included in the CD proceedings should be within 6 pages limit. Over-length page fee will be imposed. |
