Paper Preparation and Formatting

All papers are submitted electronically through the PaperCept conference Manuscript Management System. Final submissions, no more than six pages in length, must be received by April 9, 2007. Papers must be submitted camera ready and in PDF format. No other file formats will be accepted nor will hardcopy versions.

Submitted papers will be electronically checked at time of submission to ensure that they meet all formatting guidelines. To help ensure a smooth paper submission process, detailed instructions have been created for both Microsoft Word and LaTeX users. Document templates and sample papers demonstrating their use are also available.

Compliance Checking and Paper Submission

Final paper submission is through the conference website, which is available here.

Copyright Transfer

The copyright transfer process is handled electronically through the paper submission website. Copyright transfer must be completed before the final version of the paper is submitted. The system will ask a series of questions and will automatically prepare the copyright form. Electronic signatures, implicitly validated through the author's login PIN, are sufficient and are the only copyright transfer mechanism that will be accepted. In particular, there is no need to submit a hardcopy copyright transfer form.
