Call For Papers

Paper Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are asked to submit their paper proposals through the conference website (http://vppc2011.com/). Each paper proposal must include:

• Technical Track (or Special Session)) number and name, paper title, name(s) of author(s), business affiliation(s), mailing address(es), phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address(es). If there are multiple authors, the corresponding author must be clearly identified.
• An abstract of 50 – 100 words and a digest of 3 – 5 pages (single-column, including figures and tables). The digest should clearly state the objectives of the paper, outline the problem requiring solution or the method of approach to research, be explicit with respect to the type of data to be included in the full paper, and summarize the conclusions being made. The digest must not exceed 5 pages in length. The conference program committee may make re-assignment of accepted papers to different sessions, if necessary.

Special Presentation (SP) only Sessions

• Authors who would like to present their work, but do not wish to contribute a full paper can submit a 1 page digest for “Special Presentation (SP) only Sessions.” A regular paper is not needed.
• These presentations could be based on industrial developments, early stage research, or doctoral research.
• If accepted, speakers could make a presentation without submitting a formal manuscript for the VPPC conference proceedings. Such presentations and 1-page digests will NOT be published in IEEE Xplore.
