Registration

Authors must register and pay for the conference before July 6, 2010. When registering you will be required to provide the TrackChair code(s) of your accepted paper(s).

E-Copyright

In order to publish your paper in the proceedings we require the completion and submission of a copyright form. The copyright form may be downloaded from http://www.ieee.org/documents/IEEECopyrightForm.pdf.

The completed form may be submitted in one of the following ways:

• Posted to:

• Faxed to: +44 1904 432335

PDF Generation

Note: Please do not submit the final paper version via TrackChair

All submitted conference papers must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification. This may be checked by using IEEE PDF eXpress. This tool allows authors to convert their papers to IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (from LaTeX or Word formats), or to check author-created PDFs for compatibility with IEEE Xplore (It is suggested to use PDF eXpress to generate your PDF rather than checking an author-created PDF version).

Note: Authors have to upload their papers on PDF eXpress by using the ISWCS 2010 account (code "iswcs2010x") for PDF conversion or validation. PDF eXpress instructions may be found at the end of this page.
