Paper submission instructions
SCONEST 2005 has registered for use
of a new IEEE tool:
IEEE PDF eXpress™The new IEEE Xplore® Requirements for PDF will
be enforced as of 2005. All conference articles submitted for
inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF
specification for compatibility.
IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to
IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible
PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made
themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).
Steps for submission:
1) Create your manuscript(s)
2) Proofread and check layout of
manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going
to IEEE PDF eXpress.)
3) Create IEEE PDF eXpress account
4) Upload source file(s) for
Conversion; and/or PDF(s) for Checking
5) Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain
IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). The site contains extensive
instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical
support.
6) Submit final, IEEE Xplore-compatible
PDF(s). The deadline is 10-Aug-2005.
IEEE PDF
eXpress™
will be available on 25-Jul-2005.

Conference ID: sconest05
1. Access the IEEE PDF eXpress site
2. For each conference paper, click
"Create New Title".
3. Enter identifying text for the
paper (title is recommended but not required)
4. Click "Submit PDF for Checking" or
"Submit Source Files for Conversion"
5. Indicate platform, source file
type (if applicable), click Browse and navigate to file, and click
"Upload File". You will receive online and email confirmation of
successful upload
6. You will receive an email with
your Checked PDF or IEEE PDF eXpress-converted PDF attached. If you
submitted a PDF for Checking, the email will show if your file
passed or failed.
IEEE PDF eXpress converts the
following file types to PDF:
- Rich Text Format Freelance (La)TeX (DVI and all
support files required)*
- PageMaker FrameMaker QuarkXpress*
- Word Pro
- Microsoft Word
- WordPerfect
*For documents created in formats that do not embed
source files, include all support files with the final manuscript in
a folder. Put this folder in a compressed archive for submission. If
it is possible to embed images in the source document, you should do
so to avoid potential issues, such as missing graphics.
IMPORTANT: A DVI (DeVice Independent file) is
required for LaTeX conversions, in addition to all associated image
files. Make sure that your LaTeX system can output a DVI, otherwise
it cannot be converted. Be sure also to check that your images are
properly referenced, and that DVI can handle the image file types
used (DVI does not handle some newer image types, such as *.png).
