Each submission can have up to 8 pages, including all text, figures, tables, footnotes, appendices, references, etc. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the conference. The program committee will nominate the best papers for recognition
in the three conference topic areas. All papers will be evaluated based on
their novelty, fundamental insight, experimental evaluation, and potential for long-term impact; new-idea papers are encouraged. All accepted papers will be published in the IEEE digital library. Selected and extended papers will be recommended for journal publications.
