Deadlines

  • 31 October 2004 Abstract and Abstract Submission Form deadline
  • 15 November 2004 Author notification of acceptance or rejection
  • 01 January 2005 Submission of final manuscript for publication

Submission Acceptance

Papers will be reviewed by a joint ISA-IEEE technical program committee for originality, clarity, technical merit and thoroughness. Commercialism will not be tolerated and may result in rejection. Accepted authors are required to assign copyright for a paper to the sponsors.

By submitting an abstract, authors guarantee that if an abstract is accepted, they will register for the conference and present the paper(s).
