Call for Papers

Digest submission website is now CLOSED.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The digest must be formatted as follows:

* File format: PDF
* Paper: US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches)
* Margins: 1 inch (2.5 cm) on top, bottom, left and right sides
* Single column, font size 12pt
* Please include page numbering in the header or footer

The recommended structure of the digest is as follows:

* Title
* Abstract of up to 150 words
* Digest of the proposed paper: The digest should contain a brief introduction that describes why the topic is important and how it relates to other work already found in the literature. The proposed approach and results should be presented in sufficient detail to permit a thorough and fair review. The body of the digest should end with a conclusion summarizing the key results and contribution of the proposed paper.
* References: A list of key references should be prepared that includes key past works that are directly relevant to the new contribution.

The above parts of the digest all need to be included in the single 5 page PDF file. Please do *NOT* include any author names or affiliations in the digest.
