Industrial-track papers/commercial exhibits

Industrial track papers/exhibits are excellent opportunity for companies to present new technologies. The industrial researchers can promote awareness about their recent results and obtain feedback from the audience. Companies interested in participating at NCA_01 in Cambridge, MA, should contact D. Avresky by June 25, 2001 for industrial papers and by July 25, 2001 for exhibitions.

Submission Requirements: Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are not to exceed 20 double-spaced A4 or Letter pages, including all figures and tables. Type size must be at least 12 points. Manuscripts must contain a cover page with author contact information (name, postal address, telephone number, and e-mail address) and a 100-words abstract. Manuscripts must be cleared for publication and should be formatted such that they can be viewed using Ghostview (ps file) or Acrobat Reader (pdf file). Accepted manuscripts will be included in the Symposium Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Please send an electronic version of the manuscript, in English, to D.Avresky: avresky@ece.neu.edu. Please address all other correspondence regarding this symposium to F. Lombardi (lombardi@ece.neu.edu) and B. Johnson (bwj@virginia.edu).
