Papers from various tracks will be published in one of two proceedings:

1. IEEE proceedings
2. Supplemental proceedings

The proceedings will be published on separate CDs and no print publication will be made. The difference between the proceedings is that the IEEE proceedings will be published by IEEE and will also be available on IEEE Explore. IEEE Explore is a digital library that requires a paid subscription for access. The supplemental proceedings will be published independent of IEEE, and will not be available on IEEE Explore. However, it will be made available on the web through the conference webiste. Thus, the supplemental proceedings will be available for free and should be fully searchable by search engines.

The IEEE proceedings will contain accepted papers from the following
categories:

• Research papers and Experience Reports, 10-pages maximum
• Panel summaries (1/2 to 1 page)
• Workshop summaries (1/2 to 1 page)

The supplemental proceedings will contain accepted papers from the following tracks:

• Industry track: Slide presentations (20 slides) or abstract (1 page) or full paper (10 pages)
• Fast abstracts (2-pages) 2 column, IEEE format
• Student papers: max 6 pages, 2 column, IEEE format.
• Workshop papers: Workshop organizers have the option of publishing papers from their workshops in the supplemental proceedings. They need to contact the publications chair, Sudipto Ghosh (ghosh AT cs.colostate.edu), to work out the details.

IEEE requires that all papers submitted for the IEEE proceedings be in PDF format. A conformance check is performed by IEEE before a file can be accepted. Certain types of files are converted to PDF by IEEE PDFExpress. If authors are having problems with the conversion, they should contact the publications chair.

Papers submitted to the supplemental proceedings must be in PDF as well. Slide presentations can be in Powerpoint or PDF, though PDF is always preferred.

Format

All accepted papers (research papers, fast abstracts, student pages, panel and workshop summaries, and industry practice papers) must follow the IEEE Computer Society Format Guidelines:

Final Submission

Papers that go into the IEEE proceedings must be submitted by August 28th through the IEEE Conference proceedings site. The link to the IEEE submission site will be in the author kit mailed to you.

Slide presentations and papers for the supplemental proceedings must be submitted through the CMT submission system by September 23. The details will be made available soon.

Copyright Forms

For the IEEE proceedings, authors will sign the copyright agreement online when they complete the final submission process with IEEE. Copyright transfer information for the supplementary proceedings will be provided at a later date.

Presentations

Industry track presentations must be submitted through the CMT website by September 23. For all other tracks, we will provide the authors an option to submit their slides before the conference.
