Submitting your manuscript to IEEE INFOCOM 2008

1. First, you need to register your paper by June 25, 2007, 11:59PM PDT. Afterwards, you will be able to submit the manuscript (file). Please provide a title, abstract and a set of semi-colon separated keywords to register your paper. To register your manuscript, please visit the
   INFOCOM 2008 Paper Registration Page on EDAS.
   Note: You may need to create an EDAS account by clicking here unless you have one already.
   1. Please select ONE Review topic group that best fits the subject matter of the paper. If there are several groups with the same name, please randomly select one which best fits your paper. If none of the other groups fit your paper, please select "Miscellaneous Topics" which is listed last.
   2. Please select at least ONE and at most TWO topics from the list of possible paper topics. Please select the appropriate domain, focus and performance methodology corresponding to your paper. SIM refers to both Simulation and Experimental work; MOD refers to Analytical modeling, Performance evaluation and Theory.
   3. Please indicate your agreement and compliance with the INFOCOM 2008 Dual Submission policy. INFOCOM 2008 will strictly enforce the following Dual Submission policy as well as relevant IEEE Communications Society and IEEE policies concerning conference publications. 1. Once submitted to INFOCOM, a paper cannot be submitted to another workshop, conference or journal until the INFOCOM acceptance decision is known. 2. A paper that is under consideration elsewhere, including a workshop, conference or journal, cannot be submitted to INFOCOM. 3. If material has appeared or is likely to appear in a workshop, the paper should indicate so. This is only acceptable if the INFOCOM paper provides substantial additional results compared to the earlier or pending publication or if the workshop produced no printed proceedings.
2. Once you have filled out the registration page and clicked on the Submit button at the bottom, you will then be able to upload the manuscript (up to 9 pages, PDF format) in a subsequent screen. You will need to do this by July 2, 2007, 11:59PM PDT. Click on the icon to upload your manuscript.You can also list up to THREE reviewers (TPC members or others) who you DO NOT prefer review your manuscript.
3. Upon PDF upload (through website or FTP), you will receive an acknowledgment email which will list printing/formatting problems, if any, detected by EDAS. Please be sure to reformat your manuscript to fix these problems.
4. Please also note that for INFOCOM 2008 submissions, the author list has to be disclosed fully on the manuscript with current affiliations of each author and all author names listed on EDAS to help identify conflicts. The author list cannot be changed after the decision process in case the paper is accepted.
5. The 9 page limit for manuscript submissions is strict. No exceptions. You can refer to tech reports on the web in your paper, but in your own interest, you want to keep the paper self contained so that reviewers can appreciate the value of your ideas based on the manuscript itself.
