Authors of all the accepted Workshop Papers must submit the camera-ready version of papers electronically. Please submit the camera-ready version at our online submission system: https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/im2009.

Please strictly follow the given IM 2009 Paper Template. Each submission will be limited to 10 pages (full papers), 4 pages (short papers), 2 pages (posters), in IEEE 2-column style including figures and correct margins. You should NOT number any pages.

Please use the stylesheet templates provided by IEEE to assure that your proposal is in line with our guidelines. Standard IEEE Conference Paper Template for LaTeX is available at http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html. The link is the same as the Template for all Transactions, but you need to use \documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran} at the top of the document to get the conference format.

If you are using Microsoft Word, you can use the same template, but you have to make sure that the authors' affiliation is listed right below the name of the authors at the top of the page (and not at the bottom left corner on the first page). Please, look at http://cms.comsoc.org/eprise/main/SiteGen/Uploads/Public/Docs_IM_2009/IEEE_2C_Proceedings_template.pdf?previewstate=1 for an example.

If you are using neither LaTeX nor Microsoft Word, you can use the guidelines available at http://cms.comsoc.org/eprise/main/SiteGen/Uploads/Public/Docs_IM_2009/IEEE_2C_Proceedings_template.pdf?previewstate=1.

All authors must also complete and submit a copy of IEEE Copyright Form, available at http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/rights/copyrightmain.html, to accompany with each workshop paper submission. Please complete the publication title as: “2009 IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management – Workshops”
