EUSIPCO 2009 welcomes the submission of high-quality papers in all areas of Signal Processing. This manuscript (Microsoft WORD example file) uses preformatted WORD styles, which stick to the format and style instructions for EUSIPCO 2009. These instructions are presented and some general information regarding paper preparation and submission is provided.

1. General Information

The purpose of the instructions collected in this manuscript is to specify the format and style of admissible EUSIPCO 2008 papers and to facilitate paper submission and review. First of all, here is some general information about the paper preparation, submission, and review process.

Papers submitted to EUSIPCO-2009 must describe original, unpublished work. The papers must contain a complete description of the ideas presented and applicable research results

Papers must conform to the format and style specified in Section 2. The deadline for the submission of full papers is February 6, 2009. The maximum paper length including figures and references is five (5) pages.

Based on comments from the reviewers, it will be possible to make changes to your paper before it is submitted in its final, camera-ready form on May 29, 2009.

All submitted papers that conform to the style instructions specified in Section 2 will be reviewed by anonymous reviewers, selected by the conference committee for their demonstrated knowledge of particular topics. The review process will be carried online and the results of the reviewing will be posted on this website, and authors will also be notified of the review results by email.

Accepted papers will be published in the EUSIPCO 2009 Proceedings (distributed on CD-ROMs and accessible on the EURASIP web site).

Best paper awards will be presented to authors with student status. The student author's name must appear first on the paper.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference no later than May 29, 2008. (The EUSIPCO 2009 registration site will be opened in due time)

2. Paper Format and Style

In case of acceptance of your paper, the electronic paper version (PDF file) submitted by you will be directly reproduced in the EUSIPCO 2009 Proceedings. Your strict adherence to the format and style specifications described in this section is required to maintain uniformity of appearance throughout the Proceedings. Although this “sample paper” was typewritten using Microsoft WORD, by no means EUSIPCO 2009 suggests or requires that your paper be prepared using such software.

Paper title,

Two topic areas for the paper.

After you submit the information on the paper title, abstract text, review category, and author contact information, the system will display a page (registering paper) with the data that you entered so that you may verify its accuracy.

After approval of your data, you may choose your document file for upload at the bottom (“upload” string) of the “registering” page. Your browser will upload your file to the EUSIPCO 2009 server. At the end of a successful upload, you will see a confirmation page displaying the paper number that is assigned to you, the dimension of the paper and the uploading date. An e-mail message will be sent to the authors’ email addresses to confirm that the file has indeed been registered and uploaded.

4. Review process

A committee of reviewers selected by the conference Technical Program Committee (TPC) will review the submitted papers and rate them according to quality, relevance, and correctness. The conference TPC will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation in the conference, and in which form (oral/poster). The result of the technical committee's decision will be communicated to the submitting authors by email, along with any reviewer comments (if any).

5. Register for the conference
