SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PAPERS & TUTORIALS
Papers must be written in
English. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.
Papers not meeting the guidelines will be returned to
the authors.
Format and Length
- Submissions must be no longer
than ten (10) pages in double-column format with
standard margins and at least a 10 point font ---
larger if possible. This length includes everything:
figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth.
Longer submissions will not be reviewed.
- Provide an abstract of fewer
than 200 words.
- Number the pages.
- The paper must be submitted
in PDF
(Portable Document Format)
and compatible with
Acrobat (English version), not
including any special characters or non-standard fonts. We
must be able to display and print your submission
exactly as we receive it and using only standard tools
and postscript printers, so we strongly suggest that
you use only standard fonts.
- Make sure that the paper
prints well on black-and-white printers, not color
printers. This is especially true for plots and graphs
in the paper.
- Make sure that the output has
been formatted for printing on LETTER (8.5" by 11")
size paper.
Simplified Requirements
for Creating PDF Files
is a two-page document
that describes the essential steps in distilling PDFs.
To
facilitate the production of papers in the required IEEE
formatting standard, you may consult
IEEE
Transactions LaTeX and Microsoft Word Style Files at

Dual Submissions
Once submitted to ICNP, a paper
cannot be submitted to another workshop, conference or
journal until the ICNP acceptance decision is known. To
do so is to risk wasting one of our community's scarcest
resources: reviewer effort. Similarly, a paper that is
under consideration elsewhere, including a workshop or
journal, cannot simultaneously be submitted to ICNP.
If some of the material in a
submission has appeared in a workshop, the paper should
so indicate. This is only acceptable if the paper
submitted to ICNP provides substantial additional
results compared to the earlier or pending publication.
Electronic Submission
Papers are being handled through
a CMT (Microsoft
Research's Conference Management Tool) server. To begin the submission process, click on
the link below. Please indicate the topics/keywords
relevant to your paper when registering it, as these
will be used to match papers to reviewers. Please note
the HARD deadline for registering the title and
the abstract of the paper:
5:00pm
Pacific Standard Time (PST), May 6, 2005. The
deadline for submitting the actual paper (that has
already been registered) is May
12, 2005, 11:59pm PST.
