Publications
All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed. All accepted papers will made available in IEEE Xplore and external indexing services (DBLP database, ZB1Math/CompuServe, IO-Port, EI, Scopus, INSPEC, ISI proceeding - pending approval).
Approval is being granted for a special issue on CollaborateCom'12 to be published on ACM/Springer MOBILE NETWORKS & APPLICATIONS (MONET). 4-6 papers on the themes related to MONET will be selected for publication on this issue. Other Journal venues are being pursued.
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 the "Template for Transactions" section. Please refer to the Author's Kit for further instructions.
Papers should be submitted through EasyChair.
