Preparation and uploading of camera-ready version for NOMS 2010 proceedings:

To present your accepted paper and to consider its inclusion in the Proceedings of NOMS 2010, you are required to

- Address the reviewers' comments, and create your final manuscript.
- Page length is limited as follows:

 ▪ Main technical program: Max 8-page paper in the IEEE double-column format
ق▪ Mini-conference program: Max 8-page paper in the IEEE double-column format
ق▪ Poster sessions: Max 4-page (short) paper in the IEEE double-column format
ق▪ Application Sessions: Max 15 annotated visuals, including title and references

- The templates for IEEE double-column paper format (8-page or 4-page)for IEEE Conference Proceedings in MSWord and
ق LaTeX can be foundat:
ق http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html.
ق For IEEEtran class in LaTeX, use the following as the first line in your LaTeX source file:
ق▪ \documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran}
قققNote: with IEEE conferences papers, the author affiliation is listed under the author's name, unlike IEEE transactionsق
قققpapers)

- Go to IEEE PDF eXpress Website (
http://www.pdf-express.org)

ق▪ Create an IEEE PDF eXpress account (use conference ID: noms10x; use 'new user' if you haven't used this siteق
قققbefore.).
ق▪ Use IEEE PDF eXpress to check if your PDF file is Xplore-compliant, OR, else, you can use this site to convert yourق
قققsource files into an IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF file (e.g., for LaTeX users, create a zip file that includes dvi and yourق
قققeps figure files all together, and then upload the zip file for the system to convert into a compliant PDF file; for
قققMSWordقusers, upload the Word file and let it convert and return a compliant PDF file)

- Upload the Xplore-compliant PDF file by November 29, 2009 to the JEMS system at
ق
قhttps://submissoes.sbc.org.br/noms2010ق
- At least one author of the paper must register at the full registration rate. A full author registration will allow up to a
ق maximum of three accepted papers (in the main technical program, or the mini-conference, or the poster session, or the
ق applicationقsessions), in case you have multiple accepted papers. Registration information will be available soon.
- The last thing TPC would like to strongly recommend is to check yourقVisa Situation.ق
