selected for possible publications in journals.

ISM2011 will include a few workshops dedicated to focused interest
areas. Submissions of proposals on workshops of emerging areas are
invited. Papers from Workshops will be presented at ISM2011, and
included in the Proceedings. Submissions of proposals on panels and
demonstrations are also encouraged. Panel summary articles may also be
included in the conference proceedings. The page limit is 6 for
workshop papers and 2 for demonstration papers, both in IEEE
double-column format. Please refer to the workshop and demonstration
program links for additional requirements.

Prospective authors are also invited to submit papers to the Industry
Program, which will be included in the proceedings. A main goal of
this program is to present research work that exposes the academic and
research communities to challenges and issues important for the
industry. Please refer to the Industry Program link for submission
details.
