Additional Instructions

As the camera ready process has been significantly delayed due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy on IEEE publications office, the preparation of COMSNETS 2013 proceedings will follow a tight schedule. Therefore, the authors are requested to take extra care in preparation of their camera ready submissions, so that a revision of the submission can be avoided. Please read the paper carefully before submission and ensure the following points.

• There are no missing references and none of the citation appear as [?].
• The correct copyright information appears on the first page at the bottom of the first column.
• The footer for the first column on the first page only contains the copyright information. Other information, such as author affiliations and project support, should not appear here.
• There are no page number on the first page (especially, check the top right hand corner) and on the subsequent pages.
• Invited papers should not mention "invited paper" in the title.
• Affiliations of all authors are present.
• All figure and table captions appear clearly, and do not overlap with main text.
• Figures and Tables do not extend into the margins.
• The signed copyright form is emailed within the deadline. Both pages of the form should be emailed.
• If the pdfexpress check throws font embedding error, to embed font in your pdf file, on linux run:

  ps2pdf14 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer <name_ps_without_brackets>

  or

  gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=<name_pdf_without_brackets> <name_ps_without_brackets>

Note: These issues were reported for some camera ready submissions last year, and these problems may not be detected by the pdfexpress tool.
