Initial submission:
ISITC 2007 invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers that are no longer than 5 double-column pages conforming to the IEEE - proceeding paper format, including all figures and references. All papers must be submitted in PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness.
All papers for ISITC 2007 must be submitted electronically through the CMT Conference Management Service.
