Paper Guidlines
Submitted Paper Format
Manuscripts can be submitted into one of the two following categories:
- Regular Papers — should describe original research (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be not more than 20 double-spaced pages including figures and tables using 11-point type.
- Practical Experience Reports — should describe an
experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a
system or actual failure and recovery field data. Practical Experience Reports should be between 5-12 double-spaced pages including figures and tables using 11-point type.
The title page (for both paper catagories) should include a 150-word abstract, five keywords, authors' names and addresses and include a line specifying whether the submission is a Regular Paper or a Practical Experience Report.
The full mailing address, phone, fax and email address of the corresponding author should be specified. All submissions must be made electronically.
Please note the following conditions:
- Papers submitted to PRDC 2007 should not be submitted or published elsewhere.
- Also, it is expected that at least one author of an accepted paper should register and present their paper at the conference.
Accepted Paper Format
Papers will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their
originality, significance, correctness, relevance, and clarity of
presentation. If accepted, final camera ready papers will need to be in
8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format. Formatting

IEEE's Conference Publising Service.
Selected papers that are presented will be published in a special issue of some International
Journals.
Paper Indexing
The PRDC'07 proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS). All papers published by IEEE CPS are professionally indexed through INSPEC®. Produced by the IET, INSPEC is the leading English-language bibliographic information service providing access to the
world's scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering,
electronics, communications, control engineering, computers and computing, and
information technology.
All CPS conference publications are also submitted for indexing
to EI's Engineering Information Index, Compendex®, (Elsevier http://www.ei.org/), and ISI Thomson's Scientific
and Technical Proceedings®, ISTP®/ISI Proceedings, and Current
Contents on Diskette® (ISI Thomson http://www.isinet.com/). Please note: IEEE conference publications are not indexed in ISI Thomson's Science Citation Index
(SCI), a journal index, nor are they cited in ISI Thomson's Journal Citation
