Author's Kit (ACM) and Copyright Form

Instructions for Submitting Camera-Ready Papers

Please submit camera-ready copy (produced on a high-resolution output device) of your manuscript on 8 1/2" x 11" paper following the proceedings format appended below. Proceedings templates to create camera-ready copy are available in Word, WordPerfect, and LaTex. These templates are located at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. (Choose Option 2 for LaTeX.)

Camera-ready versions are to be uploaded to ICST's Conference Management Center (CMC), in PDF format, observing these points:

1. Authors of accepted papers have received a notification e-mail with login details. If multiple accounts have been created for the same paper, please make sure that there will be only one copy uploaded.
2. Once logged in, select the conference/workshop you wish to upload a camera-ready paper for. The upload procedure consists of three steps:
   1. Fill out ALL information for your paper (title, abstract, and keywords);
   2. Then include all co-authors of your paper (first name, last name, affiliation and email address) and please be sure to double-check for errors before submission;
   3. Upload your camera-ready (PDF is the only supported file format).
3. There is a page maximum on your paper. Regular papers and invited papers are allowed up to 10 pages and short papers are allowed up to 6 pages, including all figures, tables and references. Extra pages (a maximum of 2 for both regular and short papers) will incur additional charges of EUR 80 per page.
4. Remember to make sure that the copyright box on the first page of your paper is updated with this information:
   • Conference name: SecureComm 2008, SOSOC Workshop, September 22 - 25, 2008, Istanbul, Turkey
   • Copyright © 2008 ACM ISBN # 978-1-60558-241-2.
5. In addition, ACM requires
   • all fonts MUST be embedded within the PDF file (this requirement is crucial)
   • the PDF file should have thumbnails and should be optimized for fast web viewing
6. The deadline for uploading camera-ready papers and submitting copyright forms is September 1st, 2008. If you have not fulfilled every requirement, your paper will not be included in the final proceedings. For this reason, we kindly encourage to accomplish every requirement (including registration) before this date, in order to give us the time to check up on details in case additional refinements are required. Please kindly meet this deadline.
