Paper Formatting
Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
If you are interested in submitting a paper to ELMAR symposium, you need to prepare a full paper on four (4) or six (6) pages in the A4 paper size.

Please prepare your paper according to the ELMAR paper template:

All papers must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for compatibility. Therefore, authors are asked to carefully study IEEE Xplore PDF requirements and convert their papers to PDF based on these requirements. The compliance with the requirements must to be confirmed by uploading the camera-ready PDF (or source files) to IEEE PDF eXpress Plus, using 52657X as the Conference ID.
Online Paper Submission
Please send your submission electronically in PDF-format using Microsoft Research Conference Management Toolkit (CMT).

Select the symposium topic that most closely matches the subject area of your paper. This topic selection will be used to match reviewers to your paper, and to include your paper in the most appropriate session in the symposium program, so it is important to make a careful selection. Special session papers should also be submitted through CMT, with specioal session name selected as the topic. If the paper is accepted, on Camera ready version of the paper, the copyright notice should be added to the footer, below the left paragraph on the first page.

The appropriate copyright clearance code notice is to appear on the bottom of the first page of each paper according to the guidelines set forth in the Cataloging/Copyright Instructions for an IEEE Conference Proceeding. Detailed instructions can be found at: www.ieee.org/publications/rights/index.html.

Authors submitting the papers should be able to communicate effectively in English. Individuals presenting papers at the symposium should be able to effectively deliver the paper in English to an international audience - authors who are unable to do so themselves, are obliged to find alternative speakers who can effectively present their paper.

It is required that each accepted paper will be orally presented (appx. 15-minutes presentation time, including questions) by its author, co-author or a presenter (non-author). Symposium organizers will not send proceedings hard copies to no-show authors and such papers will be excluded from online proceedings. No-show authors will be excluded from all future ELMAR paper submissions.
