Following the instructions after logging in to IEEE PDF eXpress, upload your document source file for conversion (highly recommended) or your PDF file for compliance checking. Once your paper is properly formatted, you will receive a certification in the form of an e-mail from PDF eXpress (please be patient, this process takes 5 to 20 minutes). Your PDF eXpress-compliant document will be included as an attachment to this email. This will be the file you upload to the conference web site.

The deadline for all submissions is July 22, 2008. (Please ignore the submission deadline date contained in the IEEE PDF eXpress message; that date is for another administrative purpose). Allow time to familiarize yourself with the formatting (IEEE PDF eXpress) and uploading process (you are allowed up to three uploads). Manuscripts sent via e-mail to the conference chairs will not be accepted.

The paper upload process will automatically take you through the submission of keywords and the electronic copyright transfer process before you upload your PDF eXpress compliant paper.

You may verify receipt of your paper by downloading it from the site. We will not send an email acknowledgement. Receipt of your manuscript by this Conference together with the IEEE PDF eXpress certification email constitutes release for open publication. No cancellation of such release is permissible.

Oral presentation of the paper at the conference is required for the paper to be published in IEEE Xplore, the on-line database. Failure to present the paper at the conference will result in withdrawal of the paper from the published Proceedings of OCEANS '08 MTS/IEEE Quebec.
