Trieste, surrounded by the Carso highland and projected to the sea, has always been a border country: a place where different cultures meet and mix together. Its Mitteleuropean cultural inheritance is evident in all the eighteenth century buildings of the marvelous city center with heterogeneous styles. The city has been the inspiration of great literary figures such as James Joyce, Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba. Trieste, with its historic cafes, art, and enchanting sea, is a charming Central European and at the same time Mediterranean city. Author Information Papers including title, authors list and affiliations, figures, results, and references should not exceed six A4 pages. Detailed author instructions are available on the ISPA web site. All submissions will be subject to an international peer-review process. The symposium publications are abstract book and CD-ROM proceedings. Accepted papers will be available through IEEE Publications Center and in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
