If you are not sure or your paper has a cross-track nature, send the paper to the Program Committee Chair. The paper should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Electronic submissions are encouraged and should be sent to the email address of the VC. Workshop papers should be submitted to the individual workshop organisers. The workshops to be held will be separately advertised and also listed on the conference web site shortly after March 30. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF or PostScript file containing the following header information in ASCII form: title, author name(s), abstract, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone and fax numbers. The header (in ASCII) should be followed by the PDF or PostScript version of the complete manuscript (including title, author's name, affiliation, and abstract). Authors should make sure that the PDF or PostScript file will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11 inch letter size paper. The results presented in the paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other conferences or workshops. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the conference. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Workshop proposals should be submitted to the workshop co-chairs.
