CAMERA-READY SUBMISSION

Preparation of Your Final Manuscript

The final camera-ready manuscript of your paper should account for all the critical reviewers’ feedback. Should you need to change the title or the abstract to account for such comments, then please request approval from both the TPC and your Track, Workshop or Special-Session Co-Chairs before proceeding with such changes.

Should you have forgotten to list on the EDAS registration page of your paper a co-author clearly identified so in your review manuscript’s PDF, please report the issue both to the TPC and your Track, Workshop or Special-Session Co-Chairs and request permission to have the missing name added on EDAS.

Please note that it is strictly forbidden to add a new co-author who has not been identified so in the review manuscript. Also please be advised that your manuscript should strictly comply with the very same paper template specified at the submission phase. Please refer to the detailed instructions given under the appropriate conference CFP webpage (i.e., “CFP / REGULAR PAPERS“, “CFP / WORKSHOP PAPERS“, or “CFP / SPECIAL-SESSION PAPERS“).

If you are a student and the first author of your paper, please do not forget to verify whether you have identified your review manuscript on EDAS as a student paper. Otherwise, please request permission from the TPC and your Track, Workshop or Special-Session Co-Chairs that your final camera-ready paper be identified so for eligibility to the IEEE PIMRC 2017 Best Student Paper Awards.

If you have any other question about the revisions of your final manuscript’s content or registration info on EDAS, please submit it to the TPC and your Track, Workshop or Special-Session Co-Chairs. If you have on the other hand any other inquiry about the final PDF template of your camera-ready manuscript, then please submit it to <submission@pimrc2017.org>.
