Venue:

Tel-Aviv, an easy city to visit due to its highly developed transportation system, is indeed the cultural, financial and commercial heart of Israel. A cosmopolitan center on the seafront, with fine sandy beaches, a marina, restaurants, pubs and culture on tap every day of the week. Tel-Aviv is a 40-minute drive on a modern highway, from the holy city of Jerusalem, the center for the three religions, and is an hour's drive from Haifa, set in the beauty of the Carmel mountain range that acts as a backdrop to the sparkling golden dome of the Baha'i Shrine and Gardens.

The official conference hotel will be Sheraton Moriah, a 5-star hotel situated on the seashore 10 min from the beautiful old City of Jaffa.

Tel-Aviv can be reached by bus or taxi shuttle from the main airport in Israel - Ben-Gurion Airport.

Paper Submission:

In 2004, ICECS will accept electronic submissions only in pdf or postscript format. Papers may be up to 4 pages long, including figures and references, in two-column IEEE format, with a font size of 12pt. Paper submission will be web based. The formatting and submission procedures can be found on the conference web site http://www.icecs2004.org. Submission of a paper implies a commitment to present the paper if accepted. Notification of acceptance will be sent by June 30, 2004. At least one of the authors must register for the conference at non-student rate by August 8, 2004, for the paper to be published.
