The submission of papers to the COIN05 can be made through the Electronic Submission System via a Web interface. Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or new experiences relevant to the scope of the conference. COIN2005 will also encourage the submission of late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research.
Papers must be written in English, and they should be at most 6 pages long in total, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. Authors also need to make sure that the electronically submitted files will print on a PostScript printer that uses IEEE 8.5х11 page paper (Letter Size). All submitted papers should be in PDF format in the camera ready form and be formatted according to the suggested template which will be made available via the website soon.
All papers submitted for this conference will be peer-reviewed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference topics. Accepted papers will be published as separate proceedings indexed by EI Compendex. Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for publication in special issues of leading international journals.
