Technical Paper Submission Information
The submission and review of technical papers for IEEE SoutheastCon 2009 will be handled by the conference's Paper Submission and Review System, accessible from the IEEE SoutheastCon 2009 Website. The submitted papers must contain original work and not have been previously published or presented elsewhere. All full-length reviewed papers and extended abstracts of non-reviewed papers accepted for SoutheastCon 2009 will be published in the Proceedings of IEEE Southeast Conference 2009 on CD. Each accepted paper or abstract must have one full, non-refundable registration fee paid in order for the paper to be included on the Proceedings CD. During the acceptance process, the corresponding author will identify the presenter of the paper. A total of 6 double-column printed pages are allowed to each full-length reviewed paper, and 1 page is allowed for each extended abstract. A page charge of $50.00 will be applied for each extra page (up to 2 pages for full-length reviewed papers and 1 page for extended abstracts) exceeding the page limit.
Posters
Extended abstracts of non-reviewed papers accepted for SoutheastCon 2009 may have the opportunity to be displayed as posters. (Note: Accepted extended abstracts will be given presentation time during the conference on the basis of early notification to the Technical Program Chair.) Authors of accepted extended abstracts who wish to display their extended abstracts as posters should notify the Technical Program Chair by February 15, 2009. Notification to authors that their extended abstracts may be displayed as posters will be by February 22, 2009.
