BEST PAPER AWARDS
Best paper awards, sponsored by Infosys, will be given for outstanding contributed papers in two areas: (a) Algorithms and Applications, and (b) Systems.

MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
Manuscripts may not exceed 15 double-spaced pages of text using 12 point size font on 8.5 x 11 inch pages with margins of at least 1 inch on each of the four sides. References, figures, tables, etc. may be included in addition to the fifteen pages of text. Manuscripts should be in English and structured as technical papers. (helpful information on writing technical papers is given below)

All manuscripts should be submitted via EDAS, a web-based manuscript submission system, by May 12, 2006. Submissions received after the due date will not be accepted. Manuscript submission must be in the form of a readable PDF file. Submissions exceeding the page limit, formatted with smaller font or too narrow page margins, or not appropriately structured may be rejected without review. Also, manuscripts containing significant content that has been published or has been submitted for publication elsewhere will be rejected without review.

All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by July 14, 2006. Camera-ready papers are due by August 18, 2006. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further information or clarification.
