Author Guidelines
Final Submission:
Authors of accepted papers are requested to upload their final manuscripts to EDAS by June 30, 2013 at 23:59 JST. At least one author per paper must register for the conference prior to the final submission. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the conference proceeding and program.
Preparation of final manuscript:
Final manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in length, and should use font size no smaller than 10 points. Papers should have no page numbers and no headers or footers. Final manuscripts must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF) and in A4 or US letter-size, and they must have all fonts embedded. Authors should use one of the template files provided in the link below.

Final manuscripts must be prepared in compliance with the IEEE format. Otherwise, the manuscript will not be included in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Before uploading the final manuscript, authors should check whether the manuscript is Xplore-compliant using IEEE PDF eXpress. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service provided to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compliant PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function). Authors are recommended to create PDFs using IEEE PDF eXpress.
To create an IEEE PDF eXpress account, see the manual. IEEE PDF eXpress provides detail pages for using the functions above.
- The conference ID of R10-HTC2013 is r10htc13x
- IEEE PDF eXpress can convert a Microsoft Word file or a LaTeX file to PDF. When a LaTeX file is converted to PDF, a DVI file (and image/EPS files if used) must be included in the archive (zip) file.
- If you submitted PDF, IEEE PDF eXpress will compare your PDF to the latest IEEE Xplore requirements. You will receive another email when your PDF has been checked. If you submitted source file(s), IEEE PDF eXpress will convert your source file(s) to PDF in accordance with the latest IEEE Xplore requirements. You will receive another email when your new PDF is available.
- The deadline of final manuscripts is June 30, 2013 at 23:59 JST.
Upload of final manuscripts:
Your final manuscript must be uploaded via EDAS, using the link given in your acceptance notification email. Final manuscripts must be prepared in compliance with the IEEE format. If EDAS outputs any errors (e.g., notembedded, bookmarks, pagesize, textwidth, topmargins, bottommargins) on the manuscript, please fix your manuscript. EDAS checks your manuscript more rigorously than IEEE PDF eXpress. EDAS help provide hints to solve PDF problems.
Update of EDAS information:
Authors should confirm the title, the author name(s), and the abstract in EDAS. The title, the author name(s), and the abstract registered in EDAS will be published in the book of abstracts and the proceedings. Their items can be updated by May 31, 2013 at 23:59 JST (1 month before the deadline of the final manuscripts).
Copyright Transfer:
Author(s) should submit a copyright transfer form via EDAS by June 30, 2013 at 23:59 JST. If the copyright transfer form is incomplete, the paper will not be included in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Please complete the IEEE Electronic Copyright Transfer Form (eCF) in EDAS. (Go to 'My Papers' tab in EDAS system and click the 'Copyright' column of your paper.)
Proceedings:
One of authors must present the paper at the conference. Accepted papers will also be made available on IEEE Xplore after the conference. If a paper is not presented at the conference, the paper will be excluded from IEEE Xplore. IEEE also reserves the right to withhold publishing in IEEE Xplore.
Registration:
At least one author per paper must register by June 30, 2013 for the paper to appear in the final program and the proceedings. Note that the registration is managed independently of EDAS.
