Format and Length

1. All papers must be written in English.
2. All papers must be formatted for printing on US LETTER (8.5" by 11") size paper.
3. All papers must adhere to the IEEE formatting requirements (for LaTeX, use conference option).
4. The font size should be no smaller than 10 point font.
5. For regular papers, the number of pages should be no more than 12 pages; for concise papers, the number of pages should be no more than 6 pages. This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth. Longer submissions will not be reviewed.
6. All papers must be submitted in PDF and must embed all fonts. Two ways to embed all fonts in pdf.
1. Open pdf in Acrobat reader, choose File->Print, and then choose to print the current pdf into another pdf file. This works most of the time, but not all the time.
2. Configure your latex editor to embed all fonts. When you generate the pdf, you must choose Latex->Dvi->PS->PDF.
1. For WinEdt users, you can configure the PS2PDF command line options at menu "Options->Execution Modes...", click "ps2pdf" on the left list box, then change the option "Switches" to the following command line:
   -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -r600 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true
2. For TeXnicCenter users, you can configure the PS2PDF command line options at menu "Build->Define Output Profiles...", click LaTeX=>PS=>PDF on the left-size list box, then click Postprocessor tag, click the "Ghostscript (ps2pdf)" entry in the list box on the right. The "Arguments" box on the bottom should be put with the following command line options:
   -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -sOutputFile="%bm.pdf" -c save pop -f "%bm.ps"

Anonymity

1. Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper;
2. Bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity;
3. Acknowledgement with identifiable names and funding sources should be removed. Note that own work should be cited as a third person. Papers violating this double-blind review policy will be rejected without review. Note that double-blind violations are sometimes not discovered until well into the review process, so authors are strongly advised to heed the above requirements at submission time.

Integrity policy

1. Submitted papers should not be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. In some cases, the ICNP chairs may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration.
2. Authors are prohibited from informing any TPC member of any identifiable information (such as titles) of their submissions.

Conflict of interests

1. They are currently employed at the same institution, or they have been employed at the same institution within the last 12 months, or they are going to be employment at the same institution within the next 6 months.
2. The author and the TPC member had an advisor-advisee relationship.
3. The author and the TPC member have collaborated on a project, a publication, or a grant proposal within the past 4 years.
4. The author and the TPC member have family relationship or are close personal friend. Authors should not improperly identify TPC members as conflicts to avoid individuals who might review their papers.
