Key Steps in the Camera-Ready Process
- Prepare the final manuscript.
- Submit your copyright consent
- Register for the conference.
- Certify/Convert your file with IEEE PDF eXpress.
- Upload the PDF returned by IEEE PDF eXpress to the EDAS.
1. Prepare the Final Manuscript
Please take your paper reviews carefully into account to finalize the content of the paper. If your paper is assigned to a shepherd, please make sure you have received the approval from the shepherd.
Each camera-ready submission must strictly adhere to the IEEE formatting instructions in order to be included in the PerCom 2026 Proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. The page limit for different types of papers is indicated in the table above. Below are the detailed formatting instructions for Word and LaTeX users.
1.1 Word Users
1.1.1 You can download an IEEE Conference Microsoft Word template from the IEEE website here.
1.1.2 Be sure to use the US Letter (8-1/2×11 inches) page size.
1.1.3 Please check that your submission adheres to the set page limit for your type of submission.
1.1.4 Do not use page numbers, and do not use headers or footers.
1.1.5 In the past, users of the word template have encountered some common errors. Consider the following tips in using the word template:
- Be sure to use title case for the paper title (capitalize first letter of each word, except for “a”, “and”, “for”, “in”, “or”, “with”)
- The paper title should be neither bold nor italic
- Author names should not be numbered; omit “1st”, 2nd”, etc.
- The abstract should begin with the keyword “Abstract”, which is bold+italic
- The abstract text should be bold but not italic
- Remove the placeholder “XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/$XX.00 ©20XX IEEE” from the footer. It will be added automatically during the publishing process
- Use 8pt font for references
1.2 LaTeX Users
1.2.1 You can download an IEEE Conference LaTeX template from the IEEE website here.
1.2.2 Use the following document class and options: \documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}.
1.2.3 Be sure to use the US Letter (8-1/2×11 inches) page size.
1.2.4 Please check that your submission adheres to the set page limit for your type of submission.
1.2.5 Do not use page numbers, and do not use headers or footers.
2. Submit your copyright consent
For every manuscript in the PerCom 2026 Proceedings, copyright consent must be given by the authors via EDAS. The signed copyright consent form of each accepted paper MUST be submitted before uploading your final manuscript. To submit your copyright consent, please log in to EDAS, go to your accepted paper details and click on the button close to “Copyright form”.
3. Register for the Conference
Each accepted paper (main conference, WiP, demonstrations, or any affiliated workshops) has to have one author registered as a full (non-student) attendee. More details about registrations can be found on the PerCom’26 website.
For authors who have multiple accepted papers, one full registration can cover two accepted papers.
4. Certify/Convert your Files with IEEE PDF eXpress
In this step, you will upload your PDF file to IEEE PDF eXpress, which will generate a certified PDF that you should submit. The file you upload to EDAS must be the one that IEEE PDF eXpress emails back to you once all formatting checks are passed.
Check your file for compliance with the IEEE PDF eXpress tool by following steps:
3.1 Click IEEE PDF eXpress to go to PDF eXpress. (PDF eXpress® will open in a new browser window)
3.2 Log in if you have previously registered with the site or click “Create account” to create a new account.
- Enter Conference ID.
- If your paper is accepted in the main conference including full paper and short paper, please enter 67906X.
- If your paper is accepted in all other tracks including Work-in-progress, PhD Forum, Demo, Workshops, and artifacts, please enter 68308X.
- IMPORTANT: While the above identifiers look almost identical, they are different and authors should be careful which one to pick.
- Enter your email address.
- Enter your password or choose a password.
- Continue to enter information as prompted (You will receive an email confirming the successful creation of your account if you choose to create an account at the beginning).
3.3 Upload either your source file or PDF file for conversion and/or PDF Checking.
3.4 Use PDF eXpress to obtain an IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF file.
- The site contains extensive instructions, resources, and helpful hints.
- Through your PDF eXpress account, you may submit your source application files for conversion to PDF, and/or submit PDFs for checking.
- You will have the opportunity to revise your submission if you are not satisfied with the PDF that PDF eXpress creates for you, or if the system finds problems with your paper, or if your PDF fails the PDF Check.
- Technical support via email and telephone is available if you experience trouble in creating your PDF.
- If there is a problem with your file, you will receive an e-mail detailing the problem(s). Otherwise, the system will e-mail you a copy of your IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF file.
- If your file did not pass, fix the problem and check again.
Note: PDF eXpress will not check your paper size (A4 or US Letter). Please manually check that your paper uses the right page size, US Letter (use Adobe Reader -> File -> Properties).
5. Upload the PDF returned by IEEE PDF eXpress to EDAS
Please submit the IEEE PDF eXpress certified version of your paper (i.e., the version IEEE PDF eXpress emails back to you if everything is correct), not the one compiled on your system. Otherwise, your paper will not be considered certified in EDAS, and you will be asked by publication chairs to re-submit your camera-ready. We will collect your final PDF version from EDAS.
To submit your camera-ready paper, go to your accepted paper details in EDAS and click on the upload button.
