You also have the option to attach a video clip to your accepted paper. The video clip must be in mpeg format and its size should be less than 5MB. Please note, however, that this video clip will only appear in conference proceedings but will NOT be submitted to IEEE for publication.

IEEE Xplore Compliance

For your paper to be included in ROBIO 2013 Proceedings, its PDF file must be IEEE Xplore compliant. You should login to IEEE PDF eXpress using the conference ID, 31540X, to check for this. After your paper passes the compliance test, a confirmation email will be sent to you. You must submit this email as one of the items in the final submission. For general instructions on how to use PDF eXpress, refer to this instruction page.

IEEE Copyright Form

Authors of an accepted ROBIO paper must submit an IEEE copyright form before the paper can be published in ROBIO 2013 Proceedings.

  4. You are then in the “IEEE Copyright Form Wizard” page. Answer the questions listed by clickingYes/No button and the wizard will guide to the appropriate version of the IEEE Copyright Form. Click the Next button to get the next question.
  5. After the wizard completes the task, you will be directed to a filled IEEE Copyright Form. Read the form carefully and make sure that the information listed in the form is correct.
  6. Sign the form by typing your name at the bottom of the form and click the Submit button.
  7. Click the Download button to download the signed copyright form (in PDF).
  8. Click on the Return button and go back to the paper submission site for camera-ready paper upload.
