Submission Guidelines

Submitted manuscripts should closely reflect the final papers as they will appear in the Proceedings, and should not exceed 10 pages in two-column IEEE proceeding format. We urge the authors to prepare their papers according to the Latex or Microsoft Word templates found at IEEE Author Digital Tool Box, under “Template for all Transactions (except IEEE Transactions on Magnetics)” section.

Submission should be in PDF format through the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=collaboratecom2011. Authors need to have an account in the system or obtain one prior to submission.

IMPORTANT: If you are submitting a Poster or Short Paper, write "Poster" or "Short Paper" in the title or the footnote during submission.
