Final versions of accepted papers must be submitted on EDAS for inclusion in the conference CD-ROM and IEEE Xplore®. Before submission on EDAS, each paper must have at least one Full or Limited Registration even if the presenting author is a student. For multiple paper presentations, one author registration is valid for up to three papers. The PIMRC'12 Committee reserves the right not to include in IEEE Xplore® the papers that are not actually presented by one of the co-authors at the conference.

Note: Use EDAS for final paper submission

In order for your paper to be in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore you need to complete the following steps:

revise your paper

Please read the reviewers' recommendations for revising your final paper. Note that both the title and author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript. When you are done with revising, please print out your paper and proofread it. Review formatting requirements can be found here.

Your final manuscript should:
» Have no page numbers and no headers/footers
» Use a non-zero PDF top and bottom margins (typically, at least 0.5 inches) to help indicate if there are any page numbers.
» The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages. All figures, tables, references, etc. are included in the page limit. PIMRC will accept papers up to 1 extra page for $150 (+ 10% GST) extra charge per page.
