ISEE Paper Formatting - a quick reference
As a preview, you will be uploading two files for each paper submission:
1. PDF file upload - this file must NOT contain your name or your co-authors names. This is to enable a "double blind" review process where the reviewers will only see the .pdf file and so you will not know who the reviewers are and the reviewers will not know who is submitting.
2. Word file upload - You will also upload the full paper, with you and your co-authors names, as a .docx file. This will ONLY be seen by the process administrator (not the reviewers) and is the document that will be checked to ensure you have met the content and format guidelines.
Paper Presentation
The Program Committee will assign each paper to a session upon acceptance of the completed paper. The paper will be assigned to a Technical Session or Blasters Forum Poster Session. Some authors will have the option to present in both. (Space is limited.)
Official Language
Papers must be submitted and presented in English, the official language of the Conference.
