The camera ready copy of each submission must strictly adhere to the IEEE formatting instructions to be included in the PerCom 2012 proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library.

a) Formatting your Paper

Please read the following information. It is important to ensure the inclusion of your paper, poster, abstract, or talk in the proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Please ensure your manuscript does not contain page number and header/footer, also please allow 1 inch bottom page margin.

* Word Users

1. You must use the most current version of Microsoft Word, which will help reduce word-to-pdf conversion issues such as embedded fonts, bookmarks, etc.

2. You can download an IEEE Conference Microsoft Word template from the IEEE website here.

3. Be sure to use the US Letter (8-1/2x11 inches) page size.

Check with your systems administrator if these fonts are available. An IEEE compliant PDF file can be generated either with Adobe Distiller (you can find the relevant settings in one of these job option files -- drag-and-drop a .joboptions file onto Distiller) or with ps2pdf (use the following command line options).

b) Checking/Converting your Files with IEEE PDF eXpress

Before you upload your file, you must check your file for compliance with the IEEE PDF eXpress tool by following steps:

Step I: Access the IEEE PDF eXpress site.

Step II: For each conference paper, click "Create New Title".

Step III: Enter identifying text for the paper (title is recommended but not required).

Step IV: Click "Submit PDF for checking" or "Submit Source Files for Conversion".

Step V: Indicate platform, source file type (if applicable), click "Browse" and navigate to file, and click "Upload File". You will receive online and email confirmation of successful upload.

Step VI: You will receive an email with your Checked PDF or IEEE PDF eXpress-converted PDF attached. If you submitted a PDF for checking, the email will show if your file passed or failed. If your file did pass, then please upload the certified copy to EDAS.

If your file did not pass, fix the problem and go back to Step I and check again.

Note: PDF eXpress will not check your paper size (A4 or US Letter). Please manually check that your paper uses the right page size (use Adobe Reader -> File -> Properties).
