Instructions

View formatting instructions for submitting articles

Papers can be submitted as regular full papers, or as short papers showing early ideas. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space, two-column format using at least 10 point size type. The maximum page limit is 10 pages (camera-ready versions may be restricted to 8 pages) for full papers and 4 pages for short papers. The IEEE templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website.

Paper submission will be managed through EDAS. All papers must be submitted in PDF format.

Papers will be evaluated through a double-blind review process. It is important that papers be anonymized -- by removing author names and affiliations, as well as masking information about projects or references that would clearly reveal the authors' identity.

All papers must be registered with the system by the abstract submission deadline. Papers must be uploaded by the paper deadline.

Note: At least one author per accepted paper must register to the conference (non-student-rate) before June 20th, 2009, 5pm (EST) and present the paper.
