SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on above and any other related CTS topics are solicited. Manuscripts submitted should not be under simultaneous consideration by any other conference or venues. Submission should include a completed online web based form (or a cover page) with authors' names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses of all authors. Please indicate clearly the corresponding author(s), although all authors are equally responsible for the paper and its content. Include up to 6 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Please submit an electronic copy of your full draft manuscript, not to exceed 8 pages in the IEEE format (single-spaced, double-column, including figures, tables, and references) posted on the CTS 2013 web site using the conference web site submission (Upload) link at http://cts2013.cisedu.info/. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. If accepted, the final camera-ready manuscript will follow the format posted, which will be made available to all authors.

Electronic submissions to main Conference track will be accepted only in PDF format, uploaded to the web site above. Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation and language. Initial selection will be based on full papers. Submission implies the firm willingness and availability of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. No withdrawal after the acceptance decision is permitted unless there is reasonable cause as determined by the conference organizers. All accepted papers in the Conference are required to be presented and will be included in the conference proceedings. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published and be available at the time of the conference.
