2. Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations:

The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference’s CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org.

 3. Tutorials:

Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to neuman@ufc.br, kabacins@et.put.poznan.pl, lorenz@ieee.org, and petre@iaria.org

4. Panels:

Proposals on controversial and challenging topics are expected.

Notification of acceptance	March 30, 2005
Camera-ready manuscript	April 20, 2005
Conference	Week of July 17, 2005

Instructions for papers:

• The SAPIR 2005 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.

• Best papers will be forwarded for consideration in a special issue of a journal.

• A best paper award will be granted by the IARIA award selection committee.

• Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged.

Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page.

Panels proposal:

SAPIR 2005 organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies.
