All conference articles submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for compatibility.  IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).

Steps for final submission: 

1) Create your manuscript(s) as per the formatting guidelines above.

2) Proofread and check layout of manuscript (it is highly recommended that you do this BEFORE going to IEEE PDF eXpress.)  

3) Create IEEE PDF eXpress account (check instructions sent to your email address)    

4) Upload source file(s) for Conversion; and/or PDF(s) for Checking  

5) Use IEEE PDF eXpress to attain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s). The site contains extensive instructions, resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support. 

6) Submit final, IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF(s) via email to your publications chair (ravishankar.iyer at intel.com). The deadline is 9/8/2006.
