PRESENTATION FORMATS / PAPER CATEGORIES:


            The Accepted Paper Categories are:


            RRR papers (Regular Research Report) will be a maximum of 7 IEEE
            style pages in Camera-Ready form (will be published in the
            proceedings). RRR papers will be presented in DISCUSSION Sessions.
            Authors of these papers are expected to bring with them to

            the paper can be read from about 1.5 meter distance - any
            reasonable typesetting format is acceptable. Authors of
            RRR papers are expected to be present during these sessions
            to answer any questions that readers might have (scheduled
            times for DISCUSSION Sessions will be emailed to you in June.
            Please note that you are still required to send us the
            Camera-Ready of your paper by the due date for publication
            in the proceedings. Your Camera-Ready paper should not
            exceed 7 IEEE style pages.


            SRP papers (Short Research Paper) will be a maximum of 4 IEEE
            style pages in Camera-Ready form (will be published in the
            proceedings). SRP papers will be presented in DISCUSSION Sessions.
            Authors of these papers are expected to bring with them to
            the conference a maximum of 10 pages describing their paper.
            These pages will be pinned to presentation boards during
            the DISCUSSION Sessions. Please use large fonts so that
            the paper can be read from about 1.5 meter distance - any
            reasonable typesetting format is acceptable. Authors of

            in the proceedings. Your Camera-Ready paper should not
            exceed 4 IEEE style pages.


            PST papers (Poster) WILL NOT be included in the conference
            proceedings for publication. PST papers describe research
            projects that are at early stages of their design. PST papers
            will be presented in DISCUSSION Sessions. Authors of these
            papers are expected to bring with them to the conference a
            maximum of 10 pages describing their paper. These pages will
