Formatting Instructions
Formatting checks are enforced in the submission phase for final manuscripts. Please allow extra time to fix any formatting errors and use PDF-eXpress to generate a compliant file. Due to IEEE technical co-sponsorship of NOMS, your final paper is planned to be included in IEEE eXplore for archival value after the conference. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude an acceptance paper from inclusion in IEEE eXplore if it is not presented at the conference. Please follow the following steps to finalize the camera ready version of your paper:
  1. Prepare in the IEEE double-column format using IEEE Conference Proceeding templates (see also General Formatting Instructions at the bottom of this page).
    • For IEEEtran class in LaTeX, use the following as the first line in your LaTeX source file:
      • \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}
        (Note: with IEEE conferences, the author affiliation is listed under the author's name, unlike IEEE transactions)
    • Do not add any page numbering, header or footer (other than the copyright info discussed below, if applicable).
Attention: IEEE has updated the LaTeX template as of November 30, 2012 – please use the new template from the following link: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

 

  1. Insert an appropriate copyright clearance code notice is to appear on the bottom of the first page of your  paper according to the guidelines set forth in the Cataloging/Copyright Instructions for an IEEE Conference Proceeding.
    • For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is: U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright.
    • For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is: 978-1-4799-0913-1/14/$31.00 ©2014 Crown
    • For all other papers the copyright notice is: 978-1-4799-0913-1/14/$31.00 ©2014 IEEE
      • Latex users can add following lines just before \begin{document} for the copyright notice to show up (shown below as an example for the third case above):
        • \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
          \IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{978-1-4799-0913-1/14/\$31.00~\copyright~2014 IEEE \hfill} \hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{ }}
      • MSWord users can use: ‘Insert’ -> ‘Text box’, insert the appropriate copyright notice in the texbox, and place the box (without border) at the bottom left on the first page.
    • Detailed information on IEEE copyright policy and  instructions for authors can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/index.html
  2. Authors of papers in IEEE two-column format please go to IEEE PDF eXpress Plus Website and follow steps described below.
Authors of accepted papers formatted using annotated slides (adheres to Experience Sessions and BDIM Workshop) should skip this step and go directly to step 4. Should any adaptation be needed, co-chairs will contact authors.
  • Create an IEEE PDF eXpress account (use conference ID: 20222xp ). Use 'new user' if you haven't used this site before.
  • Use IEEE PDF eXpress Plus to check if your PDF file is Xplore-compliant, OR, else, you can use this site to convert your source files into an IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF file (e.g., for LaTeX users, create a zip file that includes dvi and your eps figure files all together, and then upload the zip file for the system to convert into a compliant PDF file; for MSWord users, upload the Word file and let it convert and return a compliant PDF file).
  • Do NOT use 'Approve for collection' in PDF eXpress plus. Camera ready papers should be uploaded on JEMS (see next step)
  1.  Log into JEMS and upload the following at your paper entry page:
    • Camera-ready copy of your paper (papers formatted using IEEE double-column format must be PDF eXpress compliant).
    • A copy of the compliance message from PDF eXpress (only authors of papers formatted using IEEE double-column format)
  2. Complete the IEEE e-copyright process. Once you're at your page for your paper in JEMS, click on the button "Submit to IEEE Copyright System". This will then walk you through a series of steps. Make sure that the title/author list is EXACTLY as it's in your final camera-ready paper. If any correction is to be done, please do this first before proceeding with the copyright step. Please complete the e-copyright form by the deadline.
At least one author of the paper must register at the full registration rate. A full author registration will allow up to a maximum of three accepted papers, in case you have multiple acceptance. Please go to the registration page to complete this step.
If you have any questions on creating the camera-ready paper, please contact Publication Co-Chairs, Rafal Stankiewicz rstankie@agh.edu.pl or Myung-Sup Kim tmskim@korea.ac.kr.
