Important Procedure:
 
It is required that all PDF submissions be IEEE Xplore compliant. If your file does not meet Xplore compliance, it cannot be published and will be removed from the IFCS 2014 Proceedings USB and the IEEE Xplore system. To help you meet this requirement, you must FIRST check to ensure that your PDF file is compliant by using the IEEE PDF eXpress system BEFORE you submit your paper to the conference final submission web site.
  1. Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress web site: www.pdf-express.org
  2. Use this conference ID: 30536X
  3. Use PDF eXpress to check or create your PDF file
  4. Once you have a GOOD PDF file, return to the IFCS 2014 final submission web site (http://www.epapers.org/ifcs2014) and upload your final submission.
NOTE: checking your PDF file for compliance and submitting your final paper for publication are 2 separate procedures. After using the IEEE PDF eXpress system for file compliance, MAKE SURE to return to the IFCS 2014 final submission web site (http://www.epapers.org/ifcs2014) and upload your compliant final submission.
