SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

ISPASS 2010 paper submission website: http://ispass2010.seas.harvard.edu/

Please make sure that your paper satisfies all the requirements listed below before submission.

• The paper must have an abstract, maximum 250 words.

• You will not be allowed to submit a full paper without submitting an abstract first.

• The paper must be original material that has not been previously published in another conference or journal, nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. Note that you may submit material presented previously at a workshop without copyrighted proceedings.

• Your submission is limited to twenty two (22) 8.5"x11" double spaced single column pages, using 11pt or larger font. Please make sure you leave enough margin (roughly one inch) on both sides of the text so that it prints correctly on an A4 size paper as well.

• Papers are to be submitted for double-blind review. Author names as well as hints of identity are to be removed from the submitted paper.

• In addition, do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, if you reference your own work, you need to do it in third person, as if you were referencing someone else's research.

• Your paper must be formatted in such a way that it is clear to understand (including plots and diagrams) with a black and white print-out.

• Please number the pages.

• The paper must be submitted in PDF format. We cannot accept any other format, and we must be able to print the document just as we receive it.

• We strongly suggest that you use only the four widely-used printer

  fonts: Times, Helvetica, Courier and Symbol.

   

   <Guidelines on conflict of interest>

     We define a conflict of interest as:

• Your Ph.D. advisor and Ph.D. students forever.
• Family relations by blood or marriage forever.
• People with whom you collaborated in the past five years.
• Collaborators, include co-authors on an accepted/rejected/pending research paper, co-PIs on an accepted/rejected/pending grant, those who fund of your research, and researchers who you fund.
• "Service" collaborations, such as writing CSTB report or serving on a program committee, are not a conflict-of-interest by themselves.
• People who were employed or a student at your primary institution(s) in the past five years.
• Others with whom you believe a conflict of interest exists (check with the program chair if you have a question or doubt).
   

Any additional information regarding your submission, please email the Program Chair.
