Camera Ready Manuscript submission throught CMT

Manuscript submission and review process management is handled online through Microsoft CMT.

The upload limit for submissions on CMT has been fixed to 3MB. Allowed file types for submission are PDF/DOC. Authors' are strongly suggested to prefer uploading PDF files to reduce upload material size, and preserve structural integrity of their manuscript. Authors are allowed to make changes to their submission any number of times before the deadline. If your submission is selected for presentation at the symposium, you will have to submit a separate camera ready copy with complete author list. Title of the submission, abstract, author name(s) and their ordering entered into the system during initial submission (before submission deadline) will be retained throughout the symposium, with no scope of reflecting changes made even during camera ready submission.

Conflict of interest domain

When you log in for the first time, you will be asked to enter your conflict domain information. You will not be able to submit any paper without entering this information. This is necessary to ensure conflict free reviewing of all papers. Typically if your affiliate institution/organization provides official e-mail id as xyz@abc.com, your conflict domain is abc.com. Additionally if your institution uses multiple domain names (xyz@abc.com and xyz@abc.pqr.com) or you are associated with multiple institutions/organizations, please enter all such information. Please avoid entering commercial domain names (e.g., gmail.com, yahoo.com, live.com, ieee.org etc.) as your conflict domain since it would add to unnecessary complications during reviewer assignment.

Primary area of interest selection

When you submit a paper, you will be asked to specify its associated subject areas. Please note that you indicate only one "primary" subject area. Please pay extra attention in selecting your subject areas, as this information is critical in allowing us to properly assign papers to reviewers.
