Author Information


Full Papers

Papers submission is handled by EDAS. IPTComm solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column ACM conference format. All submissions must describe original research, not published nor currently under review for another conference or journal. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers will also be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submit your papers via the EDAS system here. To submit a paper via the EDAS system, first create a user account for yourself and then submit your paper.

Short Papers

In 2010, IPTComm will be accepting short papers of at least 5 pages and no more than 6 pages. The aim of the short paper category is to help maintain a published record of work carried out as well as facilitate future affiliations and foster collaborative work. Short papers are subject to the same rigorous review process as full papers and follow the same submission process, schedule and expectation of presentation as the full papers.
