the end of 2001. It has several features that are not available on IEEEXplore,
such as author bios, references/citations hyperlinked to articles, and more.
No student, teacher, or researcher in systems and control should be without this
collection.
See
http://www.ieeecss.org/PAB
for details and ordering information.
Regular and invited papers are allowed 6 pages in the Proceedings and short papers are
allowed 2 pages in the Proceedings. Each additional page over these limits incurs
a page overlength fee of $150 per page. No paper can exceed a maximum of 2 overlength
pages, i.e., in no case can a regular or invited paper exceed 8 pages or
a short paper exceed 4 pages. Overlength papers will NOT be published
in the Proceedings unless the page overlength fees are paid.
