NOTE: By IEE IV 2009 policy, at least one author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend and present the paper.

General Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit a paper in all areas related to the conference themes.

Documents proposed for conference presentation should be high-quality, unpublished, original work related to a theme of the conference and submitted on-line.

The official language of the conference is English. Submissions should use clear, ordinary grammar and avoid the use of colloquial phrases that might be difficult for those who speak English as a second language. Note that reviewers will assume they are reviewing completed works, as they will eventually appear in the conference proceedings. Do not submit incomplete drafts. 

All submissions must adhere to the IEE IV 2009 Format Instructions given below and must not exceed 8 pages in length.

Electronic submission of papers is required. All submissions should be in Portable Document Format (PDF). To submit your work, visit the online submission web site. There you will find a submission form that will require you to enter the some metadata of your submission, upload a PDF Document and enter author contact information.

When you submit your document you also must categorize it for our database. The topics you choose are used to select the reviewers who will evaluate your paper. Please be sure to choose only the one or two topics that best fit your work. Selecting too many topics increases the likelihood that your submission will be given to a reviewer who is unfamiliar with the content. 

All accepted submissions must be presented at the conference by a subset of the authors.
