The review process is being conducted entirely online. To make the review process easy for the reviewers, and to assure that the paper submissions will be readable through the online review system, we ask that authors submit paper documents that are formatted according to the Paper Kit instructions included here.
Papers may be no longer than 4 pages, including all text, figures, and references.
Papers must be submitted by the deadline date.
Accepted papers MUST be presented at the conference by one of the authors, or, if none of the authors are able to attend, by a qualified surrogate. The presenter MUST register for the conference at one of the non-student rates offered, and MUST register before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of your paper from the conference proceedings and program. A single registration may cover up to four (4) papers.

Please make sure to put the conference name (CAMSAP 2007) and the paper number that is assigned to you on all correspondence.
Additional questions regarding submission of papers should be directed to the technical chairs:
Yonina Eldar (yonina@ee.technion.ac.il) or Mats Viberg (viberg@chalmers.se)
Use the following guidelines when preparing your document:
LENGTH: You are allowed a total of 4 pages for your document. This is the maximum number of pages that will be accepted, including all figures, tables, and references. Any documents that exceed the 4 page limit will be rejected.
LANGUAGE: All proposals must be in English.
MARGINS: Documents should be formatted for standard letter-size (8-1/2" by 11" or 216mm by 279mm) paper. Any text or other material outside the margins specified below will not be accepted:
A format sheet with the margins and placement guides is available in the following file formats:
These files contain lines and boxes showing the margins and print areas. If you print one of these files, then stack it atop your printed page and hold it up to the light, you can easily check your margins to see if your print area fits within the space allowed.
TYPE:
Face: To achieve the best viewing experience for the review process and conference proceedings, we strongly encourage authors to use Times-Roman or Computer Modern fonts. If a font face is used that is not recognized by the submission system, your proposal will not be reproduced correctly.
Size: Use a font size that is no smaller than 9 points throughout the paper, including figure captions. In 9-point type font, capital letters are 2 mm high. For 9-point type font, there should be no more than 3.2 lines/cm (8 lines/inch) vertically. This is a minimum spacing; 2.75 lines/cm (7 lines/inch) will make the proposal much more readable. Larger type sizes require correspondingly larger vertical spacing.
TITLE: The paper title must appear in boldface letters and should be in ALL CAPITALS. Do not use LaTeX math notation ($x_y$) in the title; the title must be representable in the Unicode character set. Also try to avoid uncommon acronyms in the title.
AUTHOR LIST: The authors' name(s) and affiliation(s) appear below the title in capital and lower case letters. Proposals with multiple authors and affiliations may require two or more lines for this information. The order of the authors on the document should exactly match in number and order the authors typed into the online submission form.
ABSTRACT: Each paper should contain an abstract of 100 to 150 words that appears at the beginning of the document. Use the same text that is submitted electronically along with the author contact information.
INDEX TERMS (KEYWORDS) NEW: Enter up to 5 keywords separated by commas. Keywords may be selected from the IEEE keyword list found at: http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/ani_prod/keywrd98.txt.
BODY: Major headings appear in boldface CAPITAL letters, centered in the column. Subheadings appear in capital and lower case, either underlined or in boldface. They start at the left margin of the column on a separate line. Sub-subheadings are discouraged, but if they must be used, they should appear in capital and lower case, and start at the left margin on a separate line. They may be underlined or in italics.
REFERENCES: List and number all references at the end of the document. The references can be numbered in alphabetical order or in order of appearance in the paper. When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference number in square brackets as shown at the end of this sentence [1]. The end of the document should include a list of references containing information similar to the following example:
[1] D. E. Ingalls, "Image Processing for Experts," IEEE Trans. ASSP, vol. ASSP-36, pp. 1932-1948, 1988.
ILLUSTRATIONS & COLOR: Illustrations must appear within the designated margins. They may span the two columns. If possible, position illustrations at the top of columns, rather than in the middle or at the bottom. Caption and number every illustration. All halftone illustrations must be clear in black and white. Since the printed proceedings will be produced in black and white, be sure that your images are acceptable when printed in black and white (the CD-ROM and IEEE Xplore proceedings will retain the colors in your document).
PAGE NUMBERS: Do not put page numbers on your document. Appropriate page numbers will be added to accepted papers when the conference proceedings are assembled.
The following style files and templates are available for users of LaTeX and Microsoft Word:
We recommend that you use the Word file or LaTeX files to produce your document, since they have been set up to meet the formatting guidelines listed above. When using these files, double-check the paper size in your page setup to make sure you are using the letter-size paper layout (8.5" X 11"). The LaTeX environment files specify suitable margins, page layout, text, and a bibliography style.
In particular, with LaTeX, there are cases where the top-margin of the resulting Postscript or PDF file does not meet the specified parameters. In this case, you may need to add a \topmargin=0mm command just after the \begin{document} command in your .tex file. The spacing of the top margin is not critical, as the page contents will be adjusted on the proceedings. The critical dimensions are the actual width and height of the page content.
CAMSAP 2007 has registered for use of a new IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress™ which can be used to
Please go to the IEEE PDF eXpress site at http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp

You will need the Conference ID which is:
The review process will be performed from the electronic submission of your paper. To ensure that your document is compatible with the review system, please adhere to the following compatibility requirements:
The 'IEEE Requirements for PDF Documents' MUST be followed EXACTLY. The conference is required to ensure that documents follow this specification. The requirements are enumerated in:
Papers must be submitted in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
PDF files:
Please use IEEE PDF eXpress to ensure that your paper complies with these requirements.
Authors will be permitted to submit a document file up to 3 MB (megabytes) in size. To request an exception, contact the conference technical chairs.
The filename of the document file should be the first author's last name, followed by the appropriate extension (.pdf). For example, if the first author's name is Johan Smith, you would submit your file as "smith.pdf". The paper submission process will append the filename with a unique identifier when it is stored on our system, so multiple submissions with the same name will not overwrite each other and will be distinguishable.
CAMSAP 2007 is using the EDAS electronic paper handling system, see http://edas.info/
When you have your document file ready, gather the following information before entering the submission system:
You may proceed directly to the CAMSAP 2007 paper submission form by clicking at:
http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=5532&
If you have previously used EDAS, you can login to the system using your email address. If not, you must create a new account. All instructions are available at the web page, including an email address for technical support.
After login, the submission system will present an entry form to allow you to enter the paper title, abstract text and paper topic(s). You must select at least one and no more than three topics. This information will be used when choosing reviewers for your paper. Only you will be listed as an author in the paper registration. After registering the paper, you can add more authors and upload the manuscript. You will be notified by email when the paper registration has been received, and the paper will be assigned a unique identification number.
ALL authors must be entered in the online form, and must appear in the online form in the same order in which the authors appear on the PDF.
After you submit the registration information, the system will display a page with the data that you entered so that you may verify its accuracy. If you need to change the data to fix a mistake, it can be changed until the paper submission deadline. Once you approve of the data that you have entered, you may add co-authors and finally upload your manuscript by following the link at the bottom of the verification page. Depending on the size of your file and your internet connection speed, this upload may take a few minutes. At the end of a successful upload, you will return to the verification page with the document details appearing at the bottom. You will also get a confirmation email from EDAS. If you encounter trouble, contact the technical support by following the link “Request help”, appearing at the bottom of the paper submission pages.
The IEEE copyright form can be downloaded from:

This form MUST be printed, signed, and faxed to the conference publication chair Mats Bengtsson at the fax number +46-8-790 72 60. We will also accept emailed versions in PDF or JPEG format, but they must be scans. The emailed copyright forms should be sent to mats.bengtsson@ee.kth.se
It will also be possible to use the Electronic IEEE Copyright form, for information see:
http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/rights/eCF_Registration_Intro.html
A Copyright code for the workshop will be posted shortly, and it will be possible to upload the form under the “Copyright form” column, on the “My Papers” tab in the EDAS system.
The copyright form must be received by us before the paper submission deadline. In the even your paper is not accepted, the form becomes null and void.
Your submitted paper will be converted to PDF format by the submission system if necessary, and then visually inspected by our submission system staff to assure that the document is readable and meets all formatting requirements to be included in a visually pleasing and consistent proceedings publication for CAMSAP 2007. If our submission inspectors encounter errors with your submitted file, they will contact you to resolve the issue. If your paper passes inspection, it will be entered into the review process. A committee of reviewers selected by the conference committee will review the documents and rate them according to quality, relevance, and correctness. The conference technical committee will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation in the conference. The result of the technical committee's decision will be communicated to the submitting authors by email, along with any reviewer comments, if any.
Authors will be notified of paper acceptance or non-acceptance by email as close as possible to the published author notification date.
The notification email will include comments from the reviewers. The conference cannot guarantee that all of the reviewers will provide the level of comment desired by you. However, reviewers are encouraged to submit as detailed comments as possible.
Be sure that at least one author registers to attend the conference using the online registration system available through the conference website. Each paper must have at least one author registered, with the payment received by the author registration deadline (see above) to avoid being withdrawn from the conference.
