Since 1978 the IEEE Sarnoff Symposium has been bringing together a rich diversity of telecom experts from industry, universities, and government. The Sarnoff Symposium continues to grow as the premier forum for researchers, engineers, and business executives in the North East drawing an attendance from all over the world. Besides technical sessions, the Symposium will include invited sessions, tutorials, student poster presentations, executive panels, and exhibition.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a full paper for review. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered. The submission process is carried through the EDAS conference management system ( http://edas.info/ ). The manuscripts must follow the IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, 10-point font in the text. The maximum paper length is of five (5) pages. A sixth page may be accepted after an additional fee.
All accepted papers (after review by experts in the field) will be presented in oral sessions, included in the 35th IEEE Sarnoff Symposium Proceedings, and published through IEEE Xplore. Inclusion of an accepted paper in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore is conditioned to a full registration and the presentation of the paper in the symposium. Student papers should be submitted to the Student Posters Chair ( ziqian.dong-AT-nyit.edu ). Prospective tutorial presenters should contact the Tutorials Chair ( kolarov-AT-research.telcordia.com ).
