communications/networks and applications. An accepted paper must be

presented by one of the authors at the conference venue. These

accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by

IEEE Press. All manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages (however,

we do allow up to two extra pages at a cost of US$150 per extra

STUDENT POSTER PAPER SESSIONS:

The conference includes student poster sessions that highlight

recent and ongoing research that has not been published elsewhere.

An electronic (Postscript or PDF) version of the poster must be

submitted to the conference website, along with a 200-word abstract.

The first author of the poster must be a student at the time of

submission; the student is expected to attend the conference and be

available for discussion during the poster sessions. Accepted

abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings. Students

with accepted posters receive a discount from the regular conference

registration fee.

The paper session and poster sessions are two fully independent

conference tracks, with separate review procedures. Submitted papers

are not considered for poster sessions, and poster submissions are

not considered for paper sessions. Submission of identical research

material to both paper and poster sessions is not allowed.
