How to Submit

Please prepare your paper according to the formatting instructions given below. If you are using LaTeX, make sure that the "compsocconf" option is set and that you are using the right IEEEtran class (see "Important note for LaTeX users" below).

When your paper is finished, submit it via Easychair.

WETSoM 2012 Submission and Formatting Instructions

General Submission Requirements

Papers submitted to WETSoM 2012 must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for WETSoM 2012.  

ACM plagiarism policies and procedures shall be followed for cases of double submission.

All submissions must be in English.

Paper Preparation and Formatting

All papers must conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Computer Society Formatting Guidelines. Please use either the Word Template or the LaTeX package provided by IEEE CS. (In some browsers, an empty page will display when clicking these links. Nevertheless, the documents will download; check your download folder.) Make sure that you use US letter page format (don't use A4!). Submissions must be in PDF format. Author names and affiliations shall not be suppressed on the title page of the paper.

Papers, when properly formatted, must not exceed the size limits stated for the paper categories as follows:

Short position papers - 4 pages
Full papers               - 7 pages

Important note for LaTeX users: 1. Make sure that the "compsocconf" option is enabled in your LaTeX document as follows: \documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}. 2. Some LaTeX editors (for example, TeXLive 2010) use a version of the IEEEtran class which has the same version number (1.7a) as the one provided by IEEE CS on their website, but different content. In this case, the IEEEtran class provided on the IEEE CS web site shall be used. You can easily test whether you got it right: if LaTeX typsets the title of your paper in 14 pt font, you are fine. If, however, the title is typset in 24 pt font, you are using the wrong version of the IEEEtran class or haven't enabled the "compsocconf" option. Use the template found in the IEEE CS LaTeX package as is and direct your editor to use the IEEEtran class contained in this package.

Non-Conforming Submissions

Submissions that do not comply with the foregoing instructions and size limits will be desk rejected without review.
