EPEC2009 has registered for use of a new IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress™

The new IEEE Xplore® Requirements for PDF has been 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:

Create your manuscript(s) as specified in the PDF Author Instructions guide.

Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going to IEEE PDF eXpress.)

Go to IEEE PDF eXpress Create IEEE PDF eXpress account (Your IEEE PDF eXpress account and paper ID DO NOT relate to your account and paper ID on the paper submission system of SMC2007.) (IEEE PDF eXpress instructions are given below).

Upload source file(s) for Conversion; and/or PDF(s) for Checking

Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support.

Submit your final, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s) to the EPEC2009 paper submission using your author account. If you do not have an author account to access the EIDOS Paper Management System, you should create an account by yourself and submit your paper from the account. You must fill ALL authors' information when submitting a paper and the system will guide you to create your submission account if you do not have it.

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).
