Submission Procedures:

A full paper (not to exceed 15 double-spaced pages), including title,
author's name(s), affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax and
e-mail of the principal author should reach the Program Chair on or
before April 30, 2006.  Papers will be accepted only by electronic
submission (PDF format only) to:  gdp@utk.edu.  Please use 'PDCS-2006
Submission' in the subject line of your email.  The submitted manuscript
should closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the
Proceedings, which will be a maximum of 6 pages (+2 pages with
additional page charges) in ISCA double-column format.  (see
