Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously
unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop,
or a journal. Full papers (up to 8 camera-ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE
format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the
conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary or interim
results and are limited to 4 camera-ready pages. Short papers will be
presented in a poster session. Both full and short papers are published in the
proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All papers must include title, complete contact
information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. IEEE
reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at
the conference.
