TWO OPTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION (Read carefully)
Two options are available for authors who wish to submit papers. Option 1 is designed to streamline the process and allows authors to submit an initial version of their paper in a format that is already appropriate for final submission, instead of submitting the traditional abstract/summary format. If their papers are selected, authors do not need to do anything further, but have the option of submitting a final revised paper, if they wish. Option 2 is the traditional process of submitting a 4-page Technical Summary for review, with the final paper being submitted later after notification of acceptance.

OPTION 1
Please follow the instructions and templates available on www.scomminc.com/pp/pcm/sid.htm to help in the preparation and submission of the 4-page technical paper. If your paper is selected, this submission will be used as the final Symposium Digest paper unless a revised version is submitted by March 15, 2023.

Note that content-wise, the submission must contain the abstract and the information listed in the bullet points (1) – (7) below under Option 2.

OPTION 2

(6)  References: List a few main references covering projects in related areas. We are requesting that authors use the Vancouver citation style.

(7)  Prior Publications: Generally, Symposium papers must be original contributions. If your organization has published or presented material on similar work in English, please explain how the present material differs. The only exception to this rule is that papers submitted to the Emerging Applications subcommittee need not be original.

SUBMISSION PROCESS FOR BOTH OPTIONS
Once the abstract/technical summary is completed, all authors are required to upload it to

www.scomminc.com/pcm/sid/sid.cfm

Additional information must be provided on the online submission form. Authors must:
