SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS:
Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers. Papers to be submitted should not have been previously published in another forum, and should not be currently under review by another journal or conference. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Of particular interest are papers that address concrete experiences with computer 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 page beyond 6 pages if the paper is accepted for publication) font size 10 in standard IEEE camera ready format (double column). The Program Committee reserves the right to decline without review any papers that exceed these length specifications. Submissions also must include the title, author(s) and affiliation, e-mail address, fax/phone numbers and postal address. In case of multiple authors, indicate which author is responsible for correspondence and preparing the camera ready paper for the proceedings. Electronic submission is required (ps or pdf format is preferred). Manuscripts should be submitted by April 25, 2005 to the ICCCN2005 website.
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.
