Submission of Papers

Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length, 6 to 8 page papers in English, including figures and references. Instructions and paper formatting templates are available at the paper submission page. Submitted papers must include original material that has not been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. The papers will be peer reviewed and accepted papers will be assigned to lecture and poster sessions based on content. Paper submission implies that one of the authors will present the paper at the conference if the paper is accepted. For detailed paper submission information click here.

Tutorials

Proposals for half-day tutorials on each of the listed topics are solicited. Tutorials will be held on September 25, 2007. For tutorial proposal information click here.

Demos

Proposals for demonstrations witin the scope of the conference, from both industry and academia, connected or not connected to accepted papers at ICDSC07 are encouraged. For demo proposal information click here.

Publication

The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE and will be available on IEEExplore.

Authors of a selective set of papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work for a special issue of the IEEE Journal on Special Topics in Signal Processing. The invitation will be made based on the content and quality.
