This must describe the work's purpose, the core rationale, technical/scientific goals and relevance to the conference themes. All submitted papers will be subject to peer review to ensure technical relevance and novelty.
Following the review of the abstracts, successful authors will be invited to submit a final paper, either a full paper (six pages) or a short paper (three pages). All papers will be subject to an additional quality review. Full papers will require a presentation at the conference.
Short papers will be displayed as A0 posters during break-out sessions. All papers must be represented by at least one delegate.
Successful authors of final papers will then be invited to attend and present their work at the Secure and Efficient Satellite Communications Conference.
