submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the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.
