 Each submission can have up to 8 pages, including all text, figures,
 tables, footnotes, appendices, references, etc. Authors are invited to
 submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the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.
