Call For Papers - CFP

Innovations in special circuits, electronics and micro-electronics are the key support for a large spectrum of applications. The conference is focusing on several complementary aspects and targets the advances in each on it: signal processing and electronics for high speed processing, micro- and nano-electronics, special electronics for implantable and wearable devices, sensor related electronics focusing on low energy consumption, and special applications domains of telemedicine and ehealth, bio-systems, navigation systems, automotive systems, home-oriented electronics, bio-systems, etc. These applications led to special design and implementation techniques, reconfigurable and self-reconfigurable devices, and require particular methodologies to be integrated on already existing Internet-based communications and applications. Special care is required for particular devices intended to work directly with human body (implantable, wearable, ehealth), or in a human-close environment (telemedicine, house-oriented, navigation, automotive). The mini-size required by such devices confronted the scientists with special signal processing requirements.

CENICS 2009 continues a series of events initiated in 2008, capturing the advances on special circuits, electronics, and micro-electronics on both theory and practice, from fabrication to applications using these special circuits and systems. The topics cover fundamentals of design and implementation, techniques for deployment in various applications, and advances in signal processing.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas

Important deadlines:

Submission (full paper) May 20, 2009

Notification June 25, 2009

Registration July 12, 2009

Camera ready July 15, 2009

Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged via an automated system.

Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Helpful information for paper formatting can be found on the here.

Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the IEEE CS Press an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.

Poster Forum

Posters are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the track/workshop preference as "POSTER : Poster Forum". Submissions are expected to be 6-8 slide deck. Posters will not be published in the Proceedings. One poster with all the slides together should be used for discussions. Presenters will be allocated a space where they can display the slides and discuss in an informal manner.

Work in Progress

Work-in-progress contributions are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the track/workshop preference as "WIP: Work in Progress". Authors should submit a four-page (maximum) text manuscript in IEEE double-column format including the authors' names, affiliations, email contacts. Contributors must follow the conference deadlines, describing early research and novel skeleton ideas in the areas of the conference topics. The work will be published in the conference proceedings.

Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations

The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will not be published in the conference¡¯s CD collection. Please send your presentations to petreiaria.org.

Tutorials

Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. They should be about three hours long. One page with the title, tutorial summary, and a short bio are expected. Please send your proposals to petreiaria.org

Panel proposals:

The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies.
