- Decide whether you will use Word or LaTeX to prepare your document
- Download the appropriate files (see below)*
- Modify those files to produce your submission
- Click here to submit your paper through the online paper management system
Each accepted paper must have a separate, paid registration. Only under highly unusual circumstances, and at the discretion of the conference leadership, will an author be allowed to present more than one paper on a single registration. Authors wishing to do so must contact the Program Chair by September 1, clearly describing which papers the authors wish to present under the single registration, and why an exception to the conference policy is warranted. Unless permission is granted, an author planning to present two papers will be required to pay for two registrations.
The Posters and Case Study Track papers should use the standard template for submission, and submit papers that are 2 pages long only.
The Abstract Templates are available for the Vendor Track only.
