The
ICAPP 2011 conference will have full-length technical papers (8-10
page), which will be peer reviewed and published on a CD-Rom, available
at the meeting. At least one author is required to register for
the congress and present his or her paper.
Step 1: Online Submission of Abstracts by October 10, 2010
Authors should submit a one-page 500 word abstract (text only) with name, affiliation, address, phone,
fax and email information to Abstract Upload HERE . Please Indicate
Track Number. Track descriptions shown below. Click here for a list of
technical sessions.
Step 2: Online Submission of Draft Papers by December 20, 2010
Once abstracts have been accepted,
authors may then upload their full-length draft papers for review.
Please upload copies of both a PDF and Word file of your draft paper to
DRAFT Paper Upload HERE. Please name your draft files according to your
paper number (11001-draft.pdf, 11001-draft.doc).
Instructions for
preparation of full-length papers are noted in the Author Kit.
Paper
Template is also available in MS Word.
Step 3: Online Submission of Final Papers by February 28, 2011
Once draft papers are reviewed and
approved, authors may then upload their final papers for CD-Rom
Publication to FINAL Paper Upload HERE. Again, please submit both a PDF
and Word file. Please name your final paper files according to your
paper number (11001-final.pdf, 11001-final.doc). Hard copies of papers
are no longer required. Note that SFEN will not edit or proof read your
final paper. Please DO NOT put page numbers on your final paper; we
will re-number the entire conference proceedings.
Step 4: Email Submission of signed copyright form due by February 28, 2011
Only one author needs to sign Copyright Form and send to e-mail: TBA
