Instructions for Authors
All papers submitted to IROS 2011 undergo a peer-review process. A manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, who will give detailed comments and - if the submission gets accepted - the authors submit a revised ("camera-ready") version that takes into account this feedback. The review process is managed by a Conference Editorial Board.
All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other's identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their manuscript.
In order to submit a regular paper to IROS 2011, please follow the customary electronic submission process via Paperplaza. In a nutshell, you are going to submit a PDF that has to conform to the manuscript preparation guidelines. In particular, you should use the provided templates and check the PDF for compliance within Paperplaza. You can submit a video along with your manuscript, for instance to demonstrate your experimental results.
Camera-ready papers (for accepted papers) are expected to be six pages long, but you can have up to eight pages if you pay a surcharge of USD 185 per extra page. It is generally a good idea to respect these page limits at the time of initial submission. When you upload the camera-ready version of an accepted paper, you will also have to provide a short summary that will serve to compile the conference digest. Further details about this will be posted here once the review process is underway.
Please note that a selected number of papers will be carefully chosen by the program committee for interactive presentation, in addition to a brief talk during a regular session. The different types of presentations are described on the Session Format page.
