How to Contribute
Please prepare your research paper of no more than 4 pages in IEEE conference proceedings paper format. For paper submission, please use the Microsoft Academic Conference Management Service at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BCGIN2011/ to submit
your papers. A paper should be submitted as a single PDF file. The IEEE manuscript templates for conference proceedings can be downloaded from http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html. Please use the US Letter template.

Subbmitted papers should be in English and contain unpublished contributions to computational and information sciences. Please note that we only accept a paper for peer review with the understanding that the paper has not been published elsewhere and has not been submitted for consideration of publication elsewhere.

Publications
All accepted papers are expected to be published by IEEE CPS in the IEEE conference proceedings (pending approval). IEEE CPS will send all published papers to EI and ISTP for indexing. The proceedings in CD will be available to the attendees during the conference. After the conference, selected papers will be considered
for publication as special issues in several journals. Guest editors and suggested journals are welcome. Those papers will go through the standard rigorous refereeing procedure established by the individual journals. Additional page charges by the
journals are the responsibility of the authors.

Best Student Papers
Excellent papers whose main authors are graduate students will be judged and selected by the Student Paper Award Subcommittee of the Scientific Committee for their
scientific merits. Up to five (5) best student papers may be selected for the BCGIn Student Paper Awards.

After the final submission of the papers, the student author should ask his/her advisor to send an e-mail to Dr. Jun Zhang (jzhang@cs.uky.edu) stating that the student author is a full-time student and is the major contributor of the paper. The advisor should
also comment on the merits of the paper.

The winners of the BCGIn Student Paper Awards will be presented with award certificates and a certain amount of cash at the conference. (The winners must attend the conference and present the papers in person.)
