Draft Papers

Required Draft Revisions

Once your draft paper has been reviewed, a designated conference organizer has the option to request a revision of your submission before making a final determination of acceptance for publication. You will be notified via email should a revision be requested.

NOTE: Your draft paper is the version of your full technical paper that is submitted for review. It should contain all elements of the paper (text, tables, graphics, references, etc.).

To submit a required draft paper revision, log into your author account on the conference site.

• Choose a paper number and click Submit Revised from the Options box on the Status page.

• Once you have reviewed the instructions, choose Submit Revised Draft Paper to continue to the submittal page.

This will display your current abstract and paper title, which should be edited to match your revised draft . A text box is available for the submission of a presenting author biography. The biography should be in plain text, and no more than 400 words.

• Upload your paper. Click on the Browse button to have your browser search for the file name on your computer.

• Read the statement regarding paper submission and choose "I Agree" or "I Disagree."

• Click Submit Revised Draft Paper.

This will automatically upload your revised draft paper. If uploaded successfully, you will receive an on-screen confirmation and be returned to the paper status page, where you will see the change noted.

NOTES:

• Your revised draft paper is not your final paper. If your revised draft paper is accepted you MUST still submit a final paper for publication.

• All revised draft papers must be submitted in PDF format. See Guidelines for Creating a PDF for more information.

• After you've submitted your revised draft, please ensure your paper title, abstract and author information and roles/order are updated. These items should match what you've submitted.

• Your paper title, abstract and author information and roles/order will be used in the conference final program and publication. Please ensure the information you enter is complete and accurate.
