Authors of accepted papers will need to sign an ACM copyright
release form and present their paper at the conference. The
Proceedings of the conference will be published by ACM Press
and distributed at the conference; copies of the Proceedings
will also be available for sale after the conference. For more
information about MobiCom 2007, please see the MobiCom
2007 Home Page.
Before submitting your paper, please check the description
of the conference scope in the Call for Papers.
MobiCom covers all issues in mobile computing and networking
at the link layer and above. If you are unsure whether your
work falls within the scope of the conference, please contact
the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom07_pcchairsacm.org.
Upon submission in EDAS, authors will be asked to indicate whether
they wish an extended abstract (4 pages) of their paper to be invited

Formatting Your Paper for Submission |
|
|
Please be sure your paper is formatted properly for submission.
In particular, please note the following format requirements:
- Your submission must be in PDF. We do
not handle other formats such as Microsoft Word. Whatever
text processor or formatter you use to write your paper
(LaTeX, Microsoft Word, FrameMaker, etc.), please convert
the output to PDF before submission. Under Windows, for
example, PDF files can be produced using the Adobe Acrobat
product.
- Your submission must be correctly formatted to fit on
U.S. "Letter" size paper, which is 8.5 inches
wide by 11 inches tall. Please be sure you have 1 inch margins
on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page.
- Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited
to 12 pages; for submissions of Challenges
papers, the limit is
8 pages. The title of these papers must
start with the words "Challenge:", i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title". Submissions can be either
single column or double column. The page limit includes
everything including references, appendices, etc.
- The font size used in the text of your submission must
not be smaller than 10 points.
- As described in the Call for Papers,
all papers will be judged through double-blind reviewing,
where the identities of the authors are withheld from the
reviewers. Please be sure your name does not appear on the
paper or in the submitted PDF file. This means that before
submission, you must remove from
the paper the authors' names, authors' affiliations, acknowledgements
of funding sources, etc. Also, be careful how you refer
to your own prior work in the paper. For example, do not
describe your prior work with phrases like:
In prior work[3], we presented
a routing protocol that ...
Instead, refer to your work in the third person, such as
In prior work, Smith[3] presented
a routing protocol that ...
With this method, the full citation to Smith can still be
given, such as
[3] Smith, J., "Analysis
of ...
In particular it is not acceptable to say
[3] Reference deleted for
double-blind review.
Also, avoid advertising the paper with the same title on
your webpage or large mailing lists. Not meeting the
above guidelines for double blind review can lead to automatic
rejection of the paper.
- Please indicate the paper ID number (obtained during the
registration process) instead of the author names, on the
front page of the paper. This is the number shown in front
of the paper title on your EDAS web page.
- We must be able to print your paper once it is submitted.
Due to the large variety of systems available for formatting
papers and producing PDF, this is not always possible for
some systems. To maximize the chances that your paper will
print correctly, please use only standard printer fonts
(e.g., Times Roman, Helvetica, etc.) or standard TeX Computer
Modern fonts; other fonts may be used but must be included
in the PDF file. The use of standard printer fonts is strongly
preferred over TeX fonts, if possible.
- The paper must be able to print clearly on standard black-and-white
printers. Reviewers are not required to view your paper
in color, and the final version of all accepted papers will
be published in only black-and-white in the conference Proceedings.

Submitting and Uploading your Paper

to register them. You must also select one of the authors
to be the correspondence author.
- After registering your paper submission, you must upload
your actual paper.
- To upload your paper right after registering your submission,
simply follow EDAS instructions on the acknowledgement page.
- Alternatively, you can upload your paper later from your

paper by clicking on the
icon in the line that shows your paper's listing, or via
ftp, or email as per instructions on that page.
