General Specifications

ITI 2010 adopted a two-step submission process. The Initial Submission is for review purposes and stamped for confidentiality. The Final Submission will appear in the conference proceedings. If your paper is accepted, you will be required to upload your final paper by the Final Paper Submission Deadline.

Authors should only submit originally written, unpublished work to ITI 2010.

Conference contributions will be reviewed by two independent referees.

At least one author of each accepted contribution is required to register and to present the contribution at the Conference.

Student authors may be eligible to take part in ITI Student Paper Competition.

Registration fee must be paid (by April 26, 2010) for each publication to be approved. The only exception is when a SOLE author has two acceptances; only one registration fee would be required.

Presenters who do not attend the Conference will not receive any Proceedings (not even a CD-ROM); unless cancelation/justification is received at least 21 days before the Conference starts. In the latter case the author will receive a CD-ROM by mail.

Upon submission of the paper, it is automatically understood that necessary approvals for the publication have been granted to the Conference Organizers.

Before you begin the submission process be sure your paper is formatted according to the Conference Paper Requirements. We have arranged for a manuscript creation/test site, IEEE PDF eXpress. Your paper will be rejected if it is not compliant with the conference format style.

KEY WARNINGS TO AUTHORS (please read)

DO NOT use password protection in submitted contributions (PDF). Make sure not to include headers and footers in your contribution. Especially, make sure it is not page numbered. Correct headers and footers will be inserted during the printing process.

DO NOT USE national characters or two-byte characters within the title, abstract, nor in the author information subtitles of your contribution (to facilitate IEEE indexing and searching using international character set).

The proceedings will be reviewed and printed in BLACK AND WHITE only. However, all participants will also receive a CD-ROM, so it is acceptable to use color in your contributions. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that your contribution is still readable in black and white, as the proceedings will form the primary record of the conference in libraries, etc.

Before you begin the submission process

All accepted (final) papers will be included in IEEE Xplore database, one of the most comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering databases in the world. Since the papers will be archived in the IEEE Xplore® System, your PDF file should comply with the IEEE rules. Click here for the Requirements for IEEE Xplore PDF and click on PDF Specification for IEEE Xplore (describes the essential steps in distilling PDFs that meet the IEEE requirements).

PDF SPECIFICATIONS FOR IEEE EXPLORE: As of 16 November 2009 IEEE XPLORE submissions must be in PDF version 1.4 (Acrobat 5) thru 1.7 (Acrobat 8). In addition, the files must meet the requirements of the PDF specification.
