The submission page has been closed already.
The submission should be a draft full-length paper in two-column format, no more than 4 pages, in pdf format. The final paper format templates are here:
The papers may be accepted for oral or poster presentation. The decision of the presentation format will be made by the program chair, based on the comments from paper review. Independently of the presentation type, all papers are included in the proceedings.
The schedule for the rest of the process is:
- Notification of acceptance for the scientific papers: June 30, 2004.

HERE IS THE IEEE COPYRIGHT FORM in pdf and in MS Word format. Fax it to +358 3 3115 4561.
For the submission of invited lecture candidates or tutorial candidates, or if you wish to suggest a panel topic and/or participants, please contact directly Prof. Jari Nurmi.
For the submission of industrial abstracts please wait until the scientific paper deadline has passed and use our submission page then (closed down already). The submission should be a one-page summary in two-column format, in pdf. The final accepted industrial abstracts will be published in the proceedings as well, if they conform to the specified format. There will not be another round for the industrial abstracts, they will be published as-is in the proceedings, so be careful! An accepted industrial abstract implies an oral presentation slot in the industry sessions. The industry program chair will decide upon the scheduling.
The schedule for industrial abstracts is:
- Notification of acceptance for the industrial abstracts: by September 10, 2004.
Submitting a paper on either of the tracks is a commitment to send at least one paying participant to the symposium to take care of the presentation.
