STEP 2: Important DeadlinesPAPER DEADLINE: Final paper is due by 05 August 2005. COPYRIGHT DEADLINE: A signed copyright release form is due by 05 August 2005. STEP 3: Important Information about Preparing your PaperIEEE now offers conferences free access to PDF eXpress, the IEEE's online file conversion/PDF validation tool, to assist authors in preparing suitable electronic files of their final papers. PDF eXpress helps authors convert their papers into IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF files (conversion function) or to check their own PDF files for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF validation function). PDF eXpress is not a file submission system and does not capture files. An author's file simply passes through the system returning a PDF file or an error report. After using PDF eXpress you will still need to send the IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF file of your final paper later in this publication submission process (see Step 8). STEP 4: Formatting your PaperYour final papers MUST be formatted to IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines (see link to "formatting instructions" below). It is highly recommended that you proofread and check the layout of your paper BEFORE submitting it to PDF eXpress. Formatting Instructions can be found at: ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct.pdf LaTeX Formatting Macros can be found at: ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/IEEE_CS_Latex.zip STEP 5: PDF eXpress Online File Conversion/PDF Validation ToolOnly IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF files will be published in IEEE Xplore. 5.1) If you would like to create your own PDF file, please change the setting on your PDF distiller to insure your paper meets IEEE PDF specifications. Basic PDF distiller settings MUST be changed to:
IMPORTANT: Authors must check their final PDF files before submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and subset. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not embed. These fonts must be avoided. 5.2) If you would like to submit your source file to PDF eXpress for conversion and validation, PDF eXpress converts the following file types to PDF:
For documents created in formats that do not embed source files, include all support files with the final manuscript 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. 5.3) PDF eXpress is available for use for NPSec 2005 as follows:
