Camera-Ready Manuscript Submission Instructions for VLSI Design 2009

Dear Author(s):

Congratulations! We have been notified that your paper has been accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 2009 22nd International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSI Design 2009) to be held 5-9 January 2009, in New Delhi, India.

I have created an online author kit that provides instructions regarding:

• Page limitations (6 Pages for both Regular and Short Papers)

• Paper formatting ---Please remove all page numbers.

• Paper and Copyright deadlines: October 24, 2008

• Copyright Release Form

• Reprints (optional)

• Paper Submission---You will see notification regarding your successful paper transmission in the pop-up window. No additional e-mail confirmation will be mailed.

• PDF eXpress Online File Conversion/PDF Validation Tool

IEEE PDF eXpress is not a submission site. After reviewing your paper and checking for accuracy, authors must follow the submission instructions found at the author kit Web site.

Use only the recommended fonts: Times, Times Roman, Times New Roman, and Helvetica. Be sure to embed and subset all fonts.
Note the following:

1) For users of non-Windows-based systems: We have tested the online submission process and we find that, in most instances, authors who use a Windows-based system do receive notification of successful paper transmissions. Your mileage with other systems may vary but please feel free to try.

2) Authors do not need to compose their documents using a Windows-based system.

3) We will check all papers and notify you if we find problems with your documents or if we have not received your work.

4) Please understand that, due to our full workload, we cannot acknowledge receipt of paper and copyright form. We will contact you only if problems arise.

5) Getting pdflatex to generate embedded fonts for the 14 standard ones, you may wish to access this Web site

http://users.rsise.anu.edu.au/~luke/embedded_fonts.html

These instructions are for Linux-based systems, but the basic information (the name of the file to edit, what changes to make to it, and what to do to update the other associated configuration files) applies to a Windows-based system.

You can access this author kit as follows:

It is mandatory for one of the authors of the paper to register and present the paper at the conference. Your manuscript will not be included in the proceedings unless one of the authors has registered by the submission deadline of October 24, 2008.

I look forward to receiving your contribution!

Sincerely,
Lisa O'Conner
