SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Please submit a preliminary copy of the paper reporting your original and previously unpublished work. The paper must clearly state the advances proposed; sufficient results (measured or simulated) and diagrams must be presented to demonstrate the quality and originality of the contributed work. The paper (limit to four pages double column format) must include a three to four sentence abstract along with the composite paper (text, figures, tables, references, etc.). THE INITIAL PAPER SUBMISSION SHOULD CLOSELY APPROXIMATE THE FINAL ACCEPTED PAPER SUBMISSION.

Each submitted paper must include a cover page with the following information on the presenting and correspondence (if different) author: name, affiliation, address, email address, phone and fax number. Please indicate the category of your submission using preferred topic areas (give first and second choices from the above topics). In addition, for each paper submitted, please email the title, author names, affiliation, address (including email, phone and FAX numbers) of the corresponding author and abstract to asic97@ieee.rochester.ny.us or, if unable to use e-mail, fax this information to the conference co-ordinator.

Please send 10 copies of the paper to
