The IEEE ISAM 2011 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages (total length of the paper) using 10-point size type on A4 inch paper. All submitted papers should be written in good English and should indicate clearly the purpose of the paper, references to related works and literature, research method and major results.

The submitted papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed and evaluated by at least two referees for technical content.

At least one of the authors must register for the symposium in order for the paper to be included in the symposium proceedings. Outstanding selected papers will be published in international journals.

Please consider to contribute and encourage your colleagues and team members to submit a full paper to the IEEE ISAM 2011 conference.
