Instructions for authors

Camera-ready papers should be prepared according to instructions for authors. Electronic submission of papers is done in PDF or Postscript format.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register. All accepted papers will be published in ISPA symposium proceedings, which will be distributed during the meeting. The ISPA proceedings book will be available through IEEE Xplore digital library.

All accepted papers must be presented at the symposium. There are two presentation options:

    oral presentation (20 minutes including question and answer period), or
    poster presentation

The preferred method of presentation is chosen after the paper is accepted and during the final paper upload process. The format and lenght of papers appearing in the proceedings book are the same for both oral and poster presentations.
Important dates

Submission of full papers: 	April 1, 2013
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 	May 15, 2013
Submission of camera-ready papers and registration: 	May 30, 2013
