Paper Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original papers. Submitted papers must be unpublished, and must not be currently under review by another journal or conference. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Paper length should be up to 6 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style, 10pt. Accepted papers that are longer than 6 pages will be charged with an over-length fee of $100 per page for the 7th and 8th pages. No paper may be longer than 8 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=5683&). All submitted papers will be subject to three peer reviews.

Proposals are solicited for tutorials. Please contact the Tutorial Chair (Andrea Francini at francini@alcatel-lucent.com) for further information.
