Originality
 

Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered. Technical Papers must be submitted via the EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=22129) Paper Processing System.  

 

Double blind submissions

All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Common sense and careful writing will go a long way towards preserving anonymity. Papers that do not conform with our double-blind submission policies will be rejected without review.

 

Length and formatting requirements
 

Submitted papers should be written in the English language, with a maximum length limit of 9 printed pages, including all the figures, references, and appendices. Papers longer than 9 pages will not be reviewed. Use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: http://www. ieee.org/go/conferencepublishing/templates. If the paper is typeset in LaTeX, please use an unmodified version of the LaTeX template IEEEtran.cls version 1.8, and use the preamble: 

\documentclass[10pt, conference, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}

 

Do not use additional LaTeX commands or packages to override and change the default typesetting choices in the template, including line spacing, font sizes, margins, space between the columns, and font types. This implies that the manuscript must use 10 point Times font, two-column formatting, as well as all default margins and line spacing requirements as dictated by the original version of IEEEtran.cls version 1.8.

If you are using Microsoft Word to format your paper, you should use an unmodified version of the Microsoft Word IEEE Transactions template (US letter size). Regardless of the source of your paper formatting, you must submit your paper in the Adobe PDF format.

The paper must print clearly and legibly, including all the figures, on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to read your paper in colour.

 

Paper submission process
 

All papers must be submitted in the Portable Document Format (PDF) electronically using EDAS. If the submitting author does not have an account, a personal account on EDAS needs to be created. When submitting the paper, a title, all the co-authors, and a concise abstract of up to 200 words should be provided to EDAS as the metadata of the paper. The metadata should be provided before the paper registration deadline. The list of authors should not be included in the paper manuscript PDF, in accordance to the double blind submission policy. Changes to the paper metadata on EDAS are permitted before the paper submission deadline, which will be July 29, 2016, 11:59 p.m. EDT.

 

Consistency between EDAS metadata and the camera-ready manuscript
 

The authors are required to make sure that the complete list of authors are provided as part of the metadata to EDAS, even though they are not to be included in the paper PDF document in accordance to the double-blind submission policy. Should a paper be accepted, the complete list of authors, including the ordering of authors, must remain identical as the EDAS metadata in the final camera-ready manuscript.

 

IEEE, IEEE Communications Society and IEEE INFOCOM Policies

 

To ensure appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest during the review process, the ComSoc prohibits changes to the list of authors once a paper has been submitted for review during review, revision, or (if accepted) final publication. The author list may be changed only prior to the submission deadline. Additional paper submission instructions, including the double-blind policy, can be found on the conference web site www.ieee-infocom.org/2017. To be published in the IEEE INFOCOM 2017 conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC co-chairs grant permission for a substitute presenter before the conference. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE INFOCOM 2017 conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.
