Paper Preparation

The Proceedings book will be composed of review papers of invited speakers (up to 8 pages) and short notes of contributors (4 pages maximum). A short note should be relevant to the scope of the Conference and clearly indicate original aspects of the research performed. The Proceedings will be published by the beginning of the Conference.

A manuscript must contain a title, authors' name(s), their affiliation(s) and address(es), e-mail address of the principal author, 3-5 line abstract, text and tables, references, graphs and figures. Only black-and-white figures are accepted. The authors are asked to prepare the electronic version of the manuscript within the MS Word template that can be downloaded at the conference web site Each paper has to be accompanied with the Copyright Transfer Form. The manuscripts should be submitted to Belarusian National Organizing Committee by December 15, 2008 by e-mail (preferable for papers) or by regular mail (for Copyright Transfer Forms and papers). In the latter case one hard copy of the manuscript must be sent together with its electronic version on FD, CD or DVD.

Registration

The registration fee is 110 EURO. It is paid in cash in EURO or equivalently in Belarusian rubles during the registration. The fee includes a copy of the Conference Proceedings, admission to all sessions, coffee breaks, and the city sightseeing bus tour. Attendees are checked-in at the Conference Registration Desk in the lobby of the second floor of the Building №1 (P.Browka Str. 6) of the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics.
