1. Conference Registration
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. Every paper accepted for LCN 2010 must have an associated registration at the full member or non-member rate. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference by the July 28, 2010 author registration deadline in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation.
For a paper in which all authors are students, one student author must register at the full registration rate.
For authors presenting multiple papers, one full registration is valid for the first paper, every further paper (up to 2 additional papers) requires an additional fee of US$200 each.
The IEEE reserves the right to exclude or remove a paper from from IEEE Xplore® if the paper is not presented at the conference.
For conference and hotel registration go to the LCN 2010 Conference and Hotel Registration page. When registered, you will receive a registration code in the form XXX-XXX-XXX on your electronic receipt. Please note that you will need this code to upload your paper.
2. Formatting and IEEE Xplore® compliance
Your accepted paper will appear on IEEE Xplore® — the IEEE Digital Library — and it is important that your submitted PDF file meets the specification for IEEE Xplore®. Failing to submit an IEEE Xplore® compatible PDF file may result in the file not being included in the conference proceedings. Please refer to the IEEE document "Simplified Requirements for Creating PDF Files for IEEE Xplore®" for more information.
In order to assure that all submitted PDF files are IEEE Xplore® compliant, it must pass the IEEE PDF eXpress™ check.
We strongly recommend that all final submissions be created using the IEEE PDF eXpress™ service. The IEEE PDF eXpress™ service can convert your paper from a wide range of formats to IEEE Xplore®-compatible PDFs. The service is free of charge for LCN 2010 authors and can be accessed using the following information:
- Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress™ Login Page
- Click on the link "New Users - Click Here" and fill in your information. You will need the Conference ID (LCN2010x)

3. Paper upload
Before uploading your paper, please check that the list of authors, title and abstract in EDAS match your camera-ready paper exactly. This is very important because we will be using the information provided in EDAS to generate the final conference program and the table of contents for IEEE Xplore®.

You are allowed to modify title and abstract yourself. You cannot modify the author list for the paper, please send a mail to the TPC chairs if that is necessary and give a valid reason.
