2009 IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing - MMSP'09.

Summary

Format Requirements

Authors must STRICTLY follow the IEEE templates provided. We suggest that authors copy and paste content into the given templates from IEEE. Authors can download the templates from
1) IEEE MS Word Templates (new template with copyright notice, as of July 7th!)
2) IEEE LaTeX Templates (new template with copyright notice, as of July 7th!)

 

Page Limit:
Maximum of 6 pages of two-column format (recommended 4-6 pages).

Supplemental material (up to 10 MB in .mp3, .wma, .wmv, .mov, or uncompressed .avi) will be accepted and reviewed at the discretion of the reviewers. Please include a readme.txt file to describe the supplemental material.

Submitting Paper and Supplemental Material for Review

When papers have been correctly formatted using the above templates, they can be uploaded at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MMSP09, along with any supplemental material. Paper submission implies the intent of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. Authors may submit more than one paper, but each paper needs to be covered by a separate full registration.

Submitting Final Camera-Ready Paper and Copyright Forms

After being accepted, you will be requested to submit a final camera-ready version of the paper, incorporating any feedback from the reviewers. Supplemental material will not be accepted with the final version of the paper and will not appear in IEEE Xplore.

 

Step 1.  Incorporate feedback from the reviewers.

 

Step 2.  Ensure that your paper is formatted using one of the IEEE templates above.

 

Step 3:  Add a copyright notice as a footnote on the first page of the paper, as follows:

• For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, add on the notice: U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright.
• For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, Australia), add the notice: 978-1-4244-4652-0/09/$25.00 ©2009 Crown.
• For all other papers, add the notice: 978-1-4244-4652-0/09/$25.00 ©2009 IEEE.

 

Step 4.  Ensure that your PDF file is produced according to the IEEE Xplore Compliance guidelines below.

 

Step 5.  Verify that your PDF file is IEEE Xplore Compliant by using the PDF eXpress service at http://www.pdf-express.org/. Log in to the service using conference ID: MMSP09x. Create a new user account using your own email and password. Submit your PDF file for compliance checking. The website also has instructions on how to create an IEEE Xplore Compliant PDF file from a source file, which may help if you have problems creating a compliant PDF file yourself in step 4.

 

Step 6.  Transfer the copyright to IEEE by signing the Electronic Copyright Form at http://mmsp09.org/Documents/CopyRSub.htm.

 

Step 7.  Log in to https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MMSP09 and upload your paper.

 

Your paper will be published in IEEE Xplore, the IEEE online publishing service. The assigned identification number is as follows:

 

IEEE Catalog Number: CFP09MSP

ISBN: 978-1-4244-4464-9

Library of Congress: 2009903188

 

For insurmountable problems, please contact one of the technical co-chairs, pachou@microsoft.com or amir.said@hp.com.

 

After submission of your final camera-ready paper, you will be assigned to an oral or poster presentation.  Instructions for preparing your presentations will follow at that time.

 IEEE Xplore® Compliance

• PDF Compatibility: PDF version 1.3 (Acrobat 4) (assures that Acrobat Readers 4, 5 and 6 will be able to open the document)
• Optimize PDF: Yes (this allows faster viewing of the first page of the file on the web)
• Print Resolution: 600 dpi (better print output)
• Color/Grayscale Images: Bicubic Downsampling at 300dpi (create/scan color images at 300dpi or higher)
• Compression for Color Images: JPEG/Medium Quality (ensures that the loss of quality due to compression is not excessive)
• Monochrome Images: Bicubic Downsampling at 600dpi (same quality as printed text)
• Compression for Monochrome Images: CCITT Group 4 (to keep the PDF file size reasonable)
• Compress Text and Line Art: Yes (to keep the PDF file size reasonable)
• Subset all Font if less than 100% of the Font is used. Otherwise, embed the entire Font (this ensures that all readers see the exact same document)
• Base 14 Fonts: Subset Adobe Base 14 fonts (e.g. Times, Helvatica, etc) or their equivalent (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.)
• Security: All security settings must be turned off. NO passwords must be assigned
• Links and Bookmarks: The final PDF should NOT have any links or bookmarks
• Page numbers, footers or headers: The final PDF should NOT have any page numbers, footers or headers
• ALL fonts must be accurately included in the PDF file as an "Embedded Subset"
• Fonts that require non-English language support are not allowed
• After creating your PDF, make sure to use "File | Save As" rather than "Save" (this will ensure that the resulting PDF is more compact and ensure the integrity of the PDF file)
• The paper size for final submission must be US Letter (8.5 by 11) and NOT A4
