Here you will find the instructions for Online proceedings Papers for the 33rd IAEE International Conference.

ONLINE PROCEEDINGS PAPERS

Overview:

The Rio de Janeiro International Conference will produce an Online Proceedings Database. A Book of Extended Abstracts or proceedings CD-rom will not be published. Speakers are asked to complete their papers for inclusion in our Online Proceedings Database which will be fully searchable in open access format. Online Proceedings Papers are due into AB3E/IAEE Conference Headquarters no later than Thursday, April 15, 2010.

Follow these instructions to submit your Online Proceedings Paper:

1) We encourage you to submit a paper in PDF format between 15–20 pages in length, including all text, footnotes, tables, charts, references, etc., using the formatting options below

2) The size of your printed page may be A4 or 8.5″ x 11″. Leave at least 0.75 inches for your margins at top, left & right – 1 inch margin for bottom. Use a 10 or 11 point font for your type. In general the type of font is up to you; keep in mind a “readable” type face is desirable (e.g., Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman).

3) Embed all text/graphics/charts/tables/pictures, etc., in your final single electronic file. DO NOT send more than one file containing pieces and/or parts of your paper to be linked together for the online proceedings. Papers will not be published online should fragmented files be received.

4) On the first page of your paper include the following information in this order:

a- Title of paper. (This should be exactly the same as previously provided when uploading your abstract submission form.)

b- Author(s) and organizational affiliation

c-  Complete contact details for the lead or contact author should appear as footnote:

o   Name

o   Title

o   Organization (please do not use abbreviations for organization)

o   Address

5)Prepare your paper and proofread TWICE. A high-quality manuscript free of typographical mistakes and errors with good sentence structure is up to you.

6) When you have completed your Online Proceedings Paper please visit our website to upload your Paper. Note that you will be using the same Pin Number provided to you in the occasion of the abstract upload. You will need this to upload your paper.

7) You must submit your Online Proceedings Paper in PDF format – no MS Word format Proceedings Papers will be accepted. We suggest that after you have generated your MS Word file that you re-read the entire paper to ensure that all tables/graphics/formulas/equations/footnotes, etc. have remained in place and have not been dropped or removed when creating the PDF file.
