Submissions should include a 500-1000 word extended abstract clearly outlining the technical contribution. All submissions will be competitively reviewed and judged on the basis of technical quality, novelty, and relevance to the technical program. Accepted contributions will be allotted a 20-minute oral presentation. Accepted student contributions will be allotted poster presentations accompanied by oral précis. On all accepted presentations, a minimum of one co-author must be present and registered at the full conference registration fee. In addition, all presenters are required to submit a paper for publication in the archival proceedings not to exceed 6-pages, including figures. Final papers must be accompanied by proof of: 1) paid registration, 2) IEEE PDF eXpress compliance, and 3) copyright disclosure.

NOTE: Abstracts Deadline Extended 1 Week to April 7, 2006!
· Author Notification: May 15, 2006
· Paper Submission: July 15, 2006
Abstract submissions will be accepted on the conference web site starting January 1, 2006. Submissions must include title, each author?s name and affiliation, and the technical area(s) and sub-area(s) into which the paper falls using the MTS/IEEE topics list published on the conference website. In order to assure accurate abstract handling, authors are encouraged to carefully examine the topics list and choose the technical area(s) that most closely match the area of their work.
