Call for papers (PDF)

All papers as well as session proposals must be submitted electronically through PaperPlaza. Authors are advised to carefully read the CDC09 submission instructions. In accordance with IEEE requirements, only PDF files will be accepted. In addition to individually submitted papers, the technical program for CDC-CCC'09 will also include invited sessions and a small number of tutorial sessions. All accepted papers will be presented in one of two formats: traditional podium presentation or interactive format. The purpose of the interactive foramt is to encourage and facilitate interaction between the authors and the conference attendees. It is anticipated that roughly one third (1/3) of all papers presented in CDC-CCC'09 will be in the interactive format.

The program committee reserves the right to assign accepted papers to either session category. All submissions will be subjected to the same review standards and there will be no differentiation in the conference proceedings or in IEEE Xplore between papers presented in podium and interactive sessions. Please contact the Program Chairs (Daizhan Cheng and Faryar Jabbari) for further information. Please note that the conference language is English, all submissions must be written in English. 

Papers are invited in the form of regular manuscripts (allotted 6 Proceedings pages). Note that short manuscripts are not considered. Papers must be submitted through the conference submission website (PaperPlaza) and must conform to the submission policy requiring that all manuscripts be in 2-column format and meet strict page limits. For the purpose of review only, manuscripts may be up to eight (8) pages long. However, normal length for the final manuscript is limited to six (6) pages. Papers exceeding the normal length may be submitted upon payment of overlength page charges of USD 175.00 for each page in excess of six. A maximum of two extra pages above normal six are permitted for regular papers and invited session papers.

Proposals are sought from those wishing to organize an invited session. An invited session consists of six papers, which should present a unifying theme from a diversity of viewpoints. Proposals for invited sessions are submitted through the conference submission website (PaperPlaza), and must contain a Summary Statement describing the motivation and relevance of the proposed session, as well as short descriptions of the component papers.

Invited sessions proposals have to be accompanied by FULL versions of the six invited papers. These component papers have to be submitted separately by the respective authors (see the submission instructions). Invited papers are allotted 6 Proceedings pages, and must conform to the CDC submission policy requiring that all manuscripts be in 2-column format and meet the strict page limits mentioned above. ABSTRACTS of invited papers will NOT be accepted. Please note that each paper in a proposed invited session will be individually reviewed, and that the proposed invited session itself will also be rated as a whole.

To ensure the continuity of the program and that papers addressing similar issues are grouped together, at the discretion of the Program Committee, individual papers may be removed from a proposed session and replaced by appropriate contributed papers. Likewise, selected papers from rejected invited sessions may be placed into the regular program.

All initial submission deadlines are March 6, 2009. (Firm!!)
