Short Papers: The length of short papers should not exceed 4 pages. Short papers should report on smaller case studies or ongoing but interesting and original research efforts.

Demo Papers: The length of Demo papers should not exceed 4 pages. Demo papers are targeted towards authors who may wish to demonstrate their system during IE08. Demo papers should provide a description of the proposed system, installation or demo.

All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings which will be published by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Papers must be submitted by Thursday, 31 January 2008, if they are to be considered for the conference.
