Duration and Content:
It is anticipated that eight half-day tutorials will be held: four on Sunday, March 25 (the day preceding the conference), two on Monday afternoon, and two on Tuesday afternoon. A welcome reception will be held on Sunday evening, with a dinner on Monday evening. Keynote presentations, invited talks, technical sessions and business-related panel discussions will be held Monday through Tuesday, 26-27 March. The CTIA exhibit floor will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 27-29 March.
Paper Submission:
Full Technical Papers (not just abstracts) must
be submitted via the EDAS Paper Processing System.
Papers should be written in English and should preferably
follow the instructions in template.pdf.
Preferred maximum paper length is 5 printed pages (10-point
font) including figures.
Schedule for Paper Submissions:
Full-Length Paper Due: 15
September 2006
Notification of Full Paper Acceptance: 5
December 2006
Final Papers Due: 6 January 2007
ALL
DEADLINES ARE FINAL. NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE
GRANTED.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS paper submission system.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will appear in IEEE Xplore . Further, accepted papers must have at least one registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple papers, one regular registration is valid for up to three papers.
Paper Submission Instructions
Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
No extensions will be granted for paper submissions. PLEASE DO NOT WRITE TO THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE OR ITS CHAIRS SEEKING EXTENSIONS. SUCH EMAILS WILL NOT BE REPLIED TO.
Authors MUST submit their papers through the EDAS web site http://www.edas.info in three steps:
1. Creation of a personal account on EDAS (if the author does not already have one)
2. Registration of the paper (this requires a short abstract of up to 150
words. This requirement is part of the EDAS system
your extended abstract should be up loaded in the same
manner as a paper)
3. Up load the extended abstract or the full paper. Only in PDF format
Papers should be written in English. Preferred maximum paper length is 5 printed pages including figures. Accepted papers that are longer than 5 pages will be charged with an over length fee of $150 per page.. Under no circumstances may any submission exceed
7 pages. Papers in excess of 7 pages shall not be considered for review or publication.
Use the sample manuscript as a visual aid for formatting.
All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts. Reviews will be returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation.
