MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors must strictly adhere to the paper layout guidelines (explained below). Manuscripts that do not conform to those formatting guidelines (PDF format, 9-page limit, margins, font size, embedded fonts etc.) will be removed from further consideration without review. Submitting your manuscript First, you need to register your paper by December 1, 2011, 23:59 p.m. EST. Afterwards, you will be able to submit the manuscript (file). Please provide a title, abstract and a set of semi-colon separated keywords to register your paper. To register your manuscript, please visit the SECON 2012 Paper Registration Page on EDAS. Note: You may need to create an EDAS account by clicking here unless you have one already. Please ensure your agreement and compliance with the SECON 2012 Dual Submission policy. SECON 2012 will strictly enforce the following Dual Submission policy as well as relevant IEEE Communications Society and IEEE policies concerning conference publications. Once submitted to SECON, a paper cannot be submitted to another workshop, conference or journal until the SECON acceptance decision is known. A paper that is under consideration elsewhere, including a workshop, conference or journal, cannot be submitted to SECON. If material has appeared or is likely to appear in a workshop, the paper should indicate so. This is only acceptable if the SECON paper provides substantial additional results compared to the earlier or pending publication or if the workshop produced no printed proceedings. Once you have filled out the registration page and clicked on the Submit button at the bottom, you will then be able to upload the manuscript in a subsequent screen. You will need to do this by Upon PDF upload, you will receive an acknowledgment email which will list printing/formatting problems, if any, detected by EDAS. Please be sure to reformat your manuscript to fix these problems. Please also note that for SECON 2012 submissions, the author list has to be disclosed fully on the manuscript with current affiliations of each author and all author names listed on EDAS to help identify conflicts. The author list cannot be changed after the decision process in case the paper is accepted. The 9 page limit for manuscript submissions is strict. No exceptions. You can refer to tech reports on the web in your paper, but in your own interest, you want to keep the paper self contained so that reviewers can appreciate the value of your ideas based on the manuscript itself. Detailed manuscript preparation instructions Manuscript submissions should be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) only. The page limit is 9 pages.
