Call for Refereed Papers

Papers are sought for oral presentation on all aspects of military communications and information systems, especially those focusing on the Conference themes. All papers will be refereed (on the full paper.) Authors will be advised in writing of acceptance or non acceptance of their paper.

The conference will address:

  • Operational concepts
  • Information management
  • Command support systems
  • Network architectures
  • Routing and protocols
  • IPv6 migration
  • Network management
  • Tactical data links
  • Wireless technologies
  • Modelling and analysis
  • Evolving and future technologies

Papers must:

  • be no more than six pages in length without prior agreement of the organisers;
  • conform to the requirements of the conference template (MILCIS_Shell.doc);
  • only contain material that is unclassified and not commercially sensitive; and
  • be submitted in pdf format via the automatic submission system (click here).

Authors may submit papers into the IEEE Stream or the Industry Stream of the conference. Both streams are refereed—the IEEE Stream is suited to technical papers satisfying the requirements of an IEEE conference; the Industry Stream is more suited to applications-based papers. If in doubt, authors should submit their paper to the IEEE Stream and the Technical Committee will determine its suitability.

The following timetable will apply:

Submission of refereed papers for review Tuesday 4 June 2012
Notification and comments to authors of refereed papers Tuesday 23 July 2012
Deadline for author registration Tuesday 27 August 2012

Author Registration

All presenting authors MUST register and pay for their attendance at the conference.

Prizes

A prize will be offered for each of the best paper and the best student paper at the conference.

Oral Presentations

Operation of your presentation will be via a laptop computer and mouse at the speaker lectern. The laptops will be configured with PowerPoint 2003 and Windows XP Pro operating system. Data projectors with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution will project your images onto the screen. Audiovisual technicians will be available at all presentations and during the refreshment breaks, should you have additional queries or need to cut to a video presentation.

The room will be set with a lectern and microphone with a laptop PC (Windows XP, Office XP, screen res max 1024 x 768.), set to one side of the lectern and operated by a mouse. Sorry, we are unable to support Apple Mac computers, except by prior arrangement. Please note that other presentation materials/formats will NOT be available without prior arrangement.

Please bring with you a copy of your presentation materials (PC format only) on memory stick or CD to be provided to the Audiovisual Engineer when you register. It is advisable for all presenters using PowerPoint to bring a backup of all files.

The presentation schedule will be promulgated early October.

Conference Proceedings

All refereed papers accepted into the IEEE Stream will be published in IEEE Xplore. All refereed papers accepted into the Industry Stream will be published in the Conference Proceedings on the MilCIS web site. Hard-bound copies of paper abstracts will be published in the Conference Program.
