Paper Submission:
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to Computational Electromagnetics and Antenna Technology.  Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere until it appears in HPCS proceedings, in the case of acceptance, or notified otherwise. For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors’ names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters (please refer to http://hpcs2018.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers-and-participation/call-for-posters  for posters submission details) will also be considered. Please specify the type of submission you have.  Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.
Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the special session paper submission site at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ADVANCESCME2018 .  Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission.
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, contributions, technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and presented at the special session.

Formatting Templates
HPCS 2018 will be using IEEE manuscript templates for conference proceedings for the final, camera-ready accepted papers (we are still waiting to confirm the agreement).  Please make sure to use only US Letter size templates.  Check http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html.

Proceedings:
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2018 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings are projected to be included in the IEEE or ACM Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly.
If you have any questions about paper submission or the special session, please contact the Special Session organizers.
