Description:The International Workshop on NFC 2010 is the second scientific workshop with focus on the area of Near Field Communication (NFC). The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of RF & hardware related topics, smartcards & security, applications & services and usability & user experience. It aims to provide a forum for a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of Near Field Communication as an integrative concept that covers hardware, software, security, usability and different fields of applications.
NFC2010 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Austria Section and the published proceedings will be available at IEEE Xplore.

Submission Guidlines and Publication

Please upload your paper into our conference management system. Instructions about paper submission can be found here, the IEEE style template can be downloaded here. All accepted papers will be published as proceedings published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS)/available at IEEE Xplore.

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers following the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. Submission papers must not have more than 6 pages representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Contact author must provide the following information for the NFC 2010 Workshop web site: paper title, authors' names, affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the author(s), about 200-250 word abstract, and about five keywords.

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the conference. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance.
