1. Prepare your paper

Paper format: Submitted papers must be formatted according to the ACM conference proceedings format. Only PDF files will be accepted. We encourage two types of submissions as indicated below:

• Full papers: minimum of 7 pages, maximum of 10 pages.
• Short papers: minimum of 4 pages, maximum of 6 pages. (Recommended for work-in-progress or with less contributions.)
• Posters: maximum 2 pages, including title, abstract, content and references.

Please note that the camera-ready version will conform to the same guidelines as the submission for review.

Papers submitted to SIMUTools 2010 must not have been previously published and must not be under review for publication in any other venue. If a submission extends work described in a previous publication of their own, we strongly encourage authors to include a citation to that publication.

2. Upload the paper in EasyChair

Full and short papers must be submitted using the EasyChair submission system. Please follow the link below to submit your paper:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=simutools2010

If you don't have an EasyChair account, that link will allow you to create one. Please register your paper by the abstract submission deadline (October 12, 2009). You can continue to update your paper until the paper submission deadline (October 19, 2009).

Posters must be sent by email to posterssimutools.org.

Note that papers are accepted only in PDF format.

3. Register for the Conference

Accepted papers and posters must be presented at the conference, so at least one author must register. When the registration is completed, the author will receive a code which will be needed for uploading the camera ready materials.

4. Final Paper Submission

Camera ready materials will be uploaded to a proceedings preparation system that may be different from the submission system. More details on this will follow in due time. Authors should expect to interact with the proceedings editor after camera ready submission to address any issues related to formatting. These interactions will require fast turnaround so that the deadline for proceedings preparation can be met.
