Submission Guidelines

Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. All manuscripts will be blind reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Submissions should be a complete manuscript of novel unpublished work (not to exceed 8 pages of single spaced text, including figures and tables) or, in special cases, may be a summary of relevant work. Submissions should be in pdf-format. mplates can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html
To submit a proposal for a panel session, special session, industrial session, tutorial, a workshop, a demo, a PhD forum, or, if you have a birds of a feather (BOF) proposal, or, have questions, please contact the program chairs.

The best papers of PATMOS will be selected for a Special Issue on Integration, the VLSI Journal, by Elsevier.
