Author Instructions for Camera Ready Paper Submission
In order for your paper to be included in the NOF 2015 conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore you need to complete the following five steps:
- Register your paper
- Complete and submit the IEEE Copyright Form
- Format the final version of your paper
- Generate Xplore-compatible PDF Format Paper
- Submit the Final PDF version on the EDAS system
Failure to comply with all the above required elements will lead to the removal of the paper from the technical program and the conference record.
Step 1: Register your paper
Every paper accepted for NOF 2015 (Full paper or POSTER) must have an associated registration at the full member or non-member author rate. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference by the August 31, 2015 author registration deadline in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. For a paper in which all authors are students, one student author must register at the author registration rate.
The registration information is available at http://www.network-of-the-future.org/
Step 2: Complete and submit the IEEE Copyright Form
To complete the IEEE Copyright Form, you can fill either the MS Word or PDF versions.
- MS Word version can be downloaded from the following link
- PDF version can be downloaded from the following link
The completed IEEE Copyright Form should be uploaded electronically through the EDAS system with the final version of your full camera-ready paper (see Step 5).
Step 3: Format the final version of paper
Please read the reviews and follow the reviewers' recommendations for revising your final paper. To guarantee good quality proceedings contents, your paper must comply with the NOF 2015 paper specifications. In particular, this means:
- Paper length is limited to 5 double column pages (FULL PAPERS) or 3 double column pages (POSTER) in a font no smaller than 10-points. (Up to 7 pages ONLY FOR FULL PAPERS, if the per page extra fee has been paid during the paper registration. No extra page is allowed to POSTER).
- Two-columns IEEE Transactions style.
- PDF format only is accepted.
- Do NOT page number your manuscript.
- Do NOT apply security settings to your PDF file.
- Do NOT include hyperlinks in the document (e.g., clickable web site addresses in the references).
Guidelines for preparing proceedings-style manuscripts are available for LaTeX and Microsoft Word users in a specific template, at the following link.
Print out a hard copy of the paper for final content review. Review very carefully the formatting requirements. In particular, check acknowledgments, equations, and author affiliations.
Step 4: Generate Xplore-compatible PDF Format Paper
IEEE is very strict about the requirements for converting application files or PostScript files to full-text PDF for inclusion in IEEE Xplore. The new IEEE Xplore Requirements for PDF will be enforced. All conference articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must be in Xplore-compatible PDF format. You can find information about the paper verifications in the following:

Introduction to IEEE PDF eXpress
NOF 2015 has registered for use of the IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress.
According to the new IEEE Xplore Requirements for PDF, all conference articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for compatibility.
IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).
It is important to note that submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation of a compliant PDF file, you must still submit your final paper through EDAS.
