Camera-Ready Paper Submission

Authors of the accepted papers should follow the following steps to upload the final paper for APSITT 2012.

1. Prepare Camera-Ready Paper

Camera-Ready versions of the accepted papers should be submitted by authors. TPC strongly recommends that authors clearly describe the originality and contribution of the work in the Camera-Ready papers. Camera-Ready papers should be in IEEE Format for Conference Proceedings, A4 size, double column, minimum 10-pt fonts and up to 6 pages.

For details of IEEE Format and PDF Creation process, go to Author Tools. The following templates are available for creating papers compliant to IEEE Format; Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

After creating Camera-Ready versions of papers, authors should use IEEE PDF eXpress to generate the PDF versions of the papers. PDF eXpress can also be used for checking the PDF files created by the authors, in order to verify they are compliant with PDF Specification for IEEE Xplore.

IEEE PDF eXpress service can be used as the following three steps:

Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress site.

If you are new to IEEE PDF eXpress, create a new account using Conference ID apsitt2012 .
If you already have your account on IEEE PDF eXpress, login with Conference ID apsitt2012 .
Note: The tentative deadline is indicated in the PDF eXpress service, but the deadline is shown in schedules.

Submit your PDF file (for checking) or source files (for conversion). For conversion, following formats are acceptable as source files:

Microsoft Word
(La)TeX (A DVI and supported image files must be included in a compressed archive)
Other forms can be also used for conversion. See the application formats in the IEEE PDF eXpress.

You will receive an email with your checked PDF or IEEE PDF eXpress-converted PDF attached.

Note

A PDF file that is not compatible to PDF Specification for IEEE Xplore is acceptable for the conference proceedings, but may not be uploaded to IEEE Xplore.
Uploading a paper to IEEE PDF eXpress is NOT the same as submitting the final paper for publication. You will still need to submit the checked PDF of your final paper through EDAS as shown below.

2. Submitting Camera-Ready Version at EDAS

Camera-Ready PDF version of the paper should be submitted using the EDAS Submission System.
If you have difficulty in submitting the file through EDAS by the due date, please notify to the contact address shown below.

3. Copyright Transfer

In order to transfer the copyright of the articles submitted, all authors should agree with the copyright transfer to IEICE. Copyright transfer process is carried out via EDAS.

The copyrights of the final paper, including rights in for publishing in any media, are transferred to the IEICE. The authors retain the following rights:

All proprietary rights other than copyrights.
Re-use of all or part of the above manuscript in their work.
Reproduction of the above manuscript for author's personal use or for company / institution use provided that (a) the permission of the IEICE is obtained prior to reproduction, (b) the source and IEICE copyright notice are indicated, and (c) the copies per se are not offered for sale.
The consent of the author (or one of the authors) be sought as a condition in granting republication permission to others.

Note that the copyrights of the papers uploaded to IEEE Xplore will not be transferred to IEEE, but remain with IEICE. In addition to copyright transfer, agreement on the inclusion of the papers in IEEE Xplore is required for accepting camera-ready papers.
