SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers must be written in English. Regular Papers describing original
research as well as design, development and experimental results of
operational systems, and Practical Experience Reports describing on-going
industrial projects, prototype systems and exploratory or emerging
applications, should be no longer than 10 pages, following the IEEE
two-column format for conference proceedings, in font size no smaller than 10
points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches).
All papers that deviate from these specifications will be rejected
automatically.

Authors are requested to first register their submissions and submit their
manuscripts in PDF format. Submission details can be found at
