All submissions must be written in English.
Initial as well as final papers will be limited to a length of 5 pages and must be prepared according to the typing instructions at www.vde.com/typing-instructions
Papers prepared according the IEEE template at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
will also be accepted. Please make sure that an A4 format (not letter size) will be submitted. The work should contain a concise presentation of the main contribution, its relevance, and its relation to prior work. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed for their quality, correctness, originality, and relevance.

Extended abstracts (maximum 2 pages) as well as full papers (maximum 5 pages) submissions will be accepted by the paper submission tool EDAS. If you don’t have your own EDAS account yet, please create one at http://www.edas.info

Register and submit your paper
Paper submission is in two steps: 1. Paper registration and 2. draft paper pdf submission. During paper registration you will be asked to indicate:
• The paper title and all authors (including affiliation, email and mailing address)

• The paper category (oral or poster presentation)
• The most suitable topic area from the list of conference topics
(1-3 selections possible)

Author registration
Authors will be asked to submit a final manuscript (maximum 5 pages) after their submitted abstract has been accepted by the reviewers. The conference proceedings will only contain papers that are presented in the conference. Therefore, at least one author must register for full rate until the extended deadline on July 22, 2013 (=camera ready submission deadline). Students, submitting papers, must also register for full rate.
One full registration can cover up to two papers. Failure to register before the deadline will result in withdrawal of the paper from the conference program and the proceedings. Any paper included in the conference program, but not being presented at the conference according to the published schedule will not appear in the official proceedings in IEEE Xplore.
