  3. Questions regarding Camera Ready Submission: Please contact Saigopal Thota, sthota@ucdavis.edu.
STEP ONE: REGISTER FOR THE CONFERENCE
  1. Each paper requires a non-student author registration (at FULL RATE). Each registration can be used for up to 3 papers (long or short, oral or poster) by the same common author. Please follow the registration instructions on the IEEE ComSoc Registration website below.
ANTS Registration Link: http://ants2013.ieee-ants.org/registration.html

Authors need to register their paper by October 30, 2013.

Please note the following registration policy stated in the IEEE ANTS 2013 Call for Papers.

IEEE and IEEE Communications Society Policies:

All IEEE ANTS 2013 technical papers must be associated with an author registration at the FULL rate. For authors presenting multiple papers, one FULL registration is valid for up to three papers. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

Note: any change in the title of the camera-ready version should be communicated to the ANTS 2013 TPC Chairs. The list of authors in the camera-ready paper must remain the same as in the originally submitted version.
  1. Once you are successfully registered, you will get a registration confirmation number. Please note down this number. You will need it to upload the camera-ready paper on the EDAS system.

STEP TWO: GENERATING THE CAMERA-READY PDF USING PDF-EXPRESS:

  7. Download the successfully converted PDF file to your computer. You will need to upload this file on the EDAS system.

STEP THREE: UPLOAD THE CAMERA-READY PAPER
  1. Once you have the camera-ready paper and the registration confirmation number, login to the EDAS system and select your ANTS paper. From there on, follow the instructions below to submit the camera-ready submission:

Uploading final manuscripts for accepted papers is essentially the same as uploading your review manuscript. Do NOT register a new paper! The details depend on whether your conference uses EDAS for registering for the conference and managing the copyright process, but you will be prompted as needed.
  1. Prepare your final manuscript according to the instructions and template provided by your conference web site. IEEE publishes templates for Word and LaTeX. Make sure that your paper does not contain any page numbers.
  2. In EDAS, go to My papers and click on the link under "Upload paper" (refer the figure below).
  3. During upload, EDAS checks whether your paper meets the conference formatting requirements. In particular, it checks that all fonts are embedded.



STEP FOUR: Submit the IEEE COPYRIGHT FORM

Authors of accepted papers should submit copyright forms via the (c) link in the "My Papers" tab, as shown below.



A link to the copyright page can also be found on each paper page.

Note: IEEE ANTS requires that you register for the conference before you submit your final manuscript.

The final deadline for submitting camera-ready papers is October 30, 2013.
