Special Sessions

Procedures: Prospective session chairs and authors are invited to submit proposals and papers, respectively, for special sessions to the ISIMP'2004. Each paper should be of four-page length and conform to the IEEE two-column format. Papers must be camera ready on 81/2 x11 white paper, two-column format in Times or similar font style, using 9 points or larger font with one inch margin on all four sides. The ISIMP'2004 Technical Program Committee will select papers for presentation and organize the final program. A four-page copy of each paper will be published in the Proceedings of ISIMP'2004.
