Please be sure your paper is formatted properly for submission. Templates for the formatting of the paper are available on the Sheridan web site: http://www.sheridanprinting.com/typedept/mobicom.htm. You should only consider formatting instructions on the Sheridan web site; instructions regarding the submission of accepted papers (e.g. copyright forms etc.) should be ignored at this time. You should also consider the following instructions when preparing your paper:

• 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.

All papers for MobiCom 2008 must be submitted electronically through the EDAS Conference Management System.

Submitting and Uploading your Paper

• To upload your paper right after registering your submission, simply follow EDAS instructions on the acknowledgement page.
