Introduction

The CCECE-2006 Conference Committee will provide attendees with a CD-ROM containing the conference proceedings and PDF viewers for Windows, Macintosh, and Unix. The CD-ROMs serve participants at CCECE conferences very well and increase the utility of papers as reference documents.

Papers must be submitted in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). When preparing your PDF file; do not enable security, do not disable printing! These submissions must be formatted to 8.5 x 11 inches page size, and in first-page-first order. Please verify that the final version of your PDF file is readable by English and/or French version of Adobe Acrobat Reader before submission. A link is available to IEEE's PDF eXpress for authors to test the compatibility of their papers. Papers that do not print correctly cannot be published. For best results, authors should avoid the use of custom half tones, bitmap pattern fills, and bitmap fonts. Use standard half tones and solid color or grey fills instead.
All conference papers submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for compatibility (Simplified Requirements for Creating PDF Files for IEEE Xplore). 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). Please read the “simplified requirements for creating PDF files for IEEE Xplore” document for more information on how to create IEEE PDF compliant files.

Maximum Length of Paper: The paper should be 4 pages and not exceed 6 pages. The author will be charged an extra $50.00/page for those pages exceeding 4.

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) to the Paper Submission system according to the instructions given on the Author Information page.
7) Submit along with the paper a copy of the email that you will receive from IEEE eXpress that confirms that your paper is IEEE PDF compliant. Insert this information in the “PDF Compliant” field in the paper submission form.

The filename of your PDF file must be the paper number assigned to you by the CCECE committee, followed by the Portable Document Format extension (.pdf). For example, if the CCECE committee assigned you the number 23, you would submit your file as "23.pdf".
