Author Instructions for Camera Ready Papers

The IEEE can substantially increase the visibility of your paper by including it in IEEE Explore, a resource that provides full-text access to IEEE transactions,  journals, magazines and conference proceedings.
All BDIM 2006 articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Explore must adhere to the IEEE Explore PDF specification for compatibility.
IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences that allows authors to make IEEE Explore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Explore compatibility (PDF Check function).

Steps for submission:
   1. Create your manuscript(s)
   2. Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going to IEEE PDF eXpress.)
   3. Create IEEE PDF eXpress account (see link below)
   4. Upload source file for Conversion; and/or PDF for Checking
   5. Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain IEEE Explore-compatible PDF. The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support.
   6. Submit final, IEEE Explore-compatible PDF. The deadline is 06-Mar-2006.

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).
