OVERVIEW

MILCOM 2010 is soliciting unclassified and classified (up to DoD Secret) technical papers – as well as proposals for tutorials and panels – relevant to communications and information processing systems, technologies, and capabilities in the decade beyond 2010. Industry, academic, and government organizations from the U.S. and countries worldwide are encouraged to participate in addressing the 21^st century challenges of national defense, homeland security, and disaster response.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Manuscripts are now being accepted for Unclassified and Classified Technical Programs. Select the appropriate link for detailed instruction:

Instructions for submitting panels and tutorials both unclassified and classified will be coming soon and links will be provided at a later date.

TECHNICAL PAPERS

The Unclassified Technical Program provides a venue for technical papers that do not contain ITAR-sensitive, classified, or proprietary information. Travel grants are available for student authors/presenters.

The Classified Technical Program solicits papers containing classified (up to DoD Secret) or ITAR-sensitive information are appropriate for the Classified Technical Program only. To attend or participate in the Classified Technical Program, one must possess a current DoD Secret clearance and be a U.S. citizen. In addition, papers originated OUTSIDE the U.S. will NOT be accepted for the Classified Technical Program.

TUTORIALS AND PANELS

MILCOM 2010 is soliciting proposals for unclassified and classified half-day tutorials and panels about state of the art communications, networking and other technologies. Specific information regarding submission will be provided at a later date.
