Submission Instructions for ACM SIGCOMM Internet Measurement Workshop 2002

Step 1: Register your paper at the IMW 2002 Paper Registration Web Site

You must do this by 23:00 EDT, May 3, 2002.

Step 2: Paper Requirements

Please make sure that your paper satisfies ALL of the following requirements before being submitted:

• The paper must be registered (see Step 1 above).
• The paper must be original material that has not been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal.
• An abstract of under 250 words.
• The submission must conform with the page limits given in the Call for Papers: at most 6 pages for extended abstracts and at most 14 pages for full papers.
• Two-column.
• 11 point serif font used for the main text body.
• Margins and layout according to this Sample Postscript Paper (Sample PDF Paper), taken from INFOCOM 2002. For Latex2e, we have a cls class file, a sample input file, a sample bibliography file, and the whole thing as a gzip'd tar archive. Note that when using the class file, you must specify \documentclass[twocolumn,11pt]{infocom} at the beginning of your Latex source file. You can also get formatting templates for MSWord.
• Please number the pages.
• The paper must be formatted for black-and-white printers and not color printers. This is especially true for plots and graphs in the paper.
• Along with the names of the authors, the front page should indicate both of the following:
  • the paper ID number assigned during the paper registration process (see step 1 above).
  • the total number of pages in the submission.
• The paper must be submitted in Postscript (preferred) or PDF format.
  We cannot accept any other format, and we must be able to print the document just as we receive it.
• Please make sure that the output has been formatted for printing on LETTER size paper. If generating a Postscript file using "dvips", use the option "-t letter".

Step 3: Paper Submission

You must submit your paper by uploading it via FTP to ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu.

Before uploading your paper, you will need to name the file containing your paper. The name of your file should be formed from the paper ID you received via email, the initials of the first author, and the current date/time as shown in the following example:

Suppose the paper id is 5, the first author is John Q. Public, the date is May 8, 2002, the local time is 22:30 (24hr clock) and you are submitting a Postscript file. In this case, you name the file 5jqp050820022230.ps. Don't worry about the accuracy of the local time that you use; it need not be exact.

To upload your submission:

1. FTP to ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu
2. Login as user anonymous
3. Change to the directory incoming/imw2002 by typing "cd incoming/imw2002"
3. Change to binary mode using the bin command
4. Use the put command to upload your file using the name specified above
(Note: FTP directory listing is disabled, so you will not be able to do an "ls" to see your submitted file. Note also that you will not be able to overwrite the file.)

The paper must be submitted electronically, and the process must be completed by 23:00 EDT, May 10, 2002. This is a HARD deadline.

If you have any questions, please contact us via email at imw2002@icir.org.

Thank you for your interest in IMW 2002!
