IEEE CCNC 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors MUST submit their manuscripts through the EDAS web site together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) using the EDAS forms. Please note that authors must create their own EDAS account before submitting paper(s).

Standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be found by clicking here.

Alternatively you can follow the sample instructions in template pdf by clicking here.

All company clearance and approvals should be obtained prior to submission. 

Technical papers, workshop papers and special session papers should be no longer than five (5) pages.  Short papers should be no longer than two (2) pages.    A cover page should be added and it should include paper title, abstract, list of keywords indicating the paper's topic area (preferably from the list in the Call for Papers page)  authors' full names, affiliations and complete addresses, telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses.

Papers submitted by students may be considered for the Student Best Paper Award, which includes full conference registration and a plaque signed by the ComSoc President. To be eligible, the student must be the sole author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. A cover letter or email to the Technical Program Chair must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition at the time of the submission. The winner of the award will be announced during the conference.

All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts and reviews will be returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
