PRESENTATION FORMATS / PAPER CATEGORIES:

      The Accepted Paper Categories are:

      RRR papers (Regular Research Report) will be a maximum of 7 IEEE
      style pages in Camera-Ready form (will be published in the
      proceedings).  RRR papers will be presented in DISCUSSION Sessions.
      Authors of these papers are expected to bring with them to
      the conference a maximum of 10 pages describing their paper.
      These pages will be pinned to presentation boards during
      the DISCUSSION Sessions.  Please use large fonts so that
      the paper can be read from about 1.5 meter distance - any
      reasonable typesetting format is acceptable.  Authors of
      RRR papers are expected to be present during these sessions
      to answer any questions that readers might have (scheduled
      times for DISCUSSION Sessions will be emailed to you in June.
      Please note that you are still required to send us the
      Camera-Ready of your paper by the due date for publication
      in the proceedings.  Your Camera-Ready paper should not
      exceed 7 IEEE style pages.

      SRP papers (Short Research Paper) will be a maximum of 4 IEEE
      style pages in Camera-Ready form (will be published in the
      proceedings).  SRP papers will be presented in DISCUSSION Sessions.
      Authors of these papers are expected to bring with them to
      the conference a maximum of 10 pages describing their paper.

      times for DISCUSSION Sessions will be emailed to you in June.
      Please note that you are still required to send us the
      Camera-Ready of your paper by the due date for publication
      in the proceedings.  Your Camera-Ready paper should not
      exceed 4 IEEE style pages.

      PST papers (Poster) WILL NOT be included in the conference
      proceedings for publication.  PST papers describe research
      projects that are at early stages of their design. PST papers
      will be presented in DISCUSSION Sessions.  Authors of these
      papers are expected to bring with them to the conference a
      maximum of 10 pages describing their paper.  These pages will
      be pinned to presentation boards during the DISCUSSION Sessions.
      Please use large fonts so that the paper can be read from
      about 1.5 meter distance. Any reasonable typesetting format
      is acceptable.  Authors of PST papers are expected to be
      present during these sessions to answer any questions that
      readers might have (scheduled times for DISCUSSION Sessions
      will be emailed to you in June).

      SUMMARY: RRR, SRP and PST mode of presentation is Poster
      Style.  The difference however is that RRR and SRP papers
      get published in the proceedings.
