Author's instructions

Templates and instructions for authors can be found here

Publication

All accepted full papers will be published online in the IEEE Xplore database

Posters and short papers will be published in the conference proceedings with an ISBN number.

The authors of the best full papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to be published in the Journal of Location-Based Services. These papers will be reviewed by the journal's editorial team, and accepted manuscripts will be published in the Special Issue.

We invite you to join the international community working on Indoor Positioning and Navigation.

The IPIN international conference, first organised by ETH Zurich in 2010, proved to be the place to be on all matters related to Indoor Positioning and Navigation techniques. Indeed, for its first edition, it gathered more than 450 researchers, system developers, and service providers both from academia and industry. The second edition held in Guimaraes, Portugal, capitalised on the first editions success and was once again the biggest international conference dedicated to indoor positioning.

We invite you to submit a 300 word abstract resuming your work by the 15th of May. Upon review by the Program Committee, authors of the accepted abstracts may submit a poster (up to 2 pages), a short paper (up to 4 pages) or a full paper (up to 10 pages) before the conference. Posters and short papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee and published in the conference proceedings upon acceptance. Full papers will be submitted to peer-reviewing and all accepted full papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published online in the IEEE Xplore database.

We would like to encourage technical demonstrations to take place at the conference, so if you would like to present your work in an engaging way to fellow academics and members of the industry, please fill in the following form: IPIN2012 Demo Form, and send it to us via email: ipin2012@unsw.edu.au.

All submissions must be made via our START Conference Manager: Softconf IPIN2012
