to, the following:
-
Electronic Materials, Devices, and Simulation
-
Integrated Electronics and Chip Design
-
Instrumentation and System Design
-

Historically, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is unique in terms of
its medieval Old Town, characterized by narrow, curved streets and tiled
roofs. First records about Tallinn date back to the beginning of the last
millennium. During its long and eventful history, Tallinn has been a remarkable
center of craftsmen, artists and merchants in Europe, belonging to the
Hanseatic League.

In Estonia, the weather is usually mild in the beginning of October, averaging
10–12 oC in the day-time.
Travelling and accommodation
Tallinn is best reached
from Helsinki and Stockholm by plane or ferry. There are also many other
international flights from Copenhagen, Frankfurt am Main, London, Moscow,
Kiev, Riga, Vilnius, and other airports.
For accommodation
the hotels Hermes, Mihkli**, Viru***, Reval Hotel Olümpia****, Scandic
Hotel Palace****, or Radisson SAS Hotel is suggested.

Preparation of the Paper
All of the text should be generated using a high-density printer (preferably,
a laser printer).
The length of the paper is restricted to exactly four (4) pages, including

The margins around each page should be set as follows: left =
2 cm, right = 2 cm,
top = 3 cm (5 cm on first page), bottom = 3 cm.

each column should be 8.2 cm. The column separation is 0.5 cm.
The first page of the manuscript must contain the title of the paper,
author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), all centered on the top of the page
and spanning both columns. There should be one complete line space between
the title, the author names, and the author affiliations. A space of two
