Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously
unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference,
workshop, or a journal. Full papers (up to 8 camera-ready pages, 10 pt font
in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope
of the conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary
or interim results and are limited to 4 camera-ready pages. Short papers
will be presented in a poster session. Both full and short papers are
published in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All papers must include
title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords
on the cover page. IEEE reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE
Xplore that are not presented at the conference.



## Paper submission

Papers must be registered on EDAS (Full:
