2-page summary papers must be submitted online in pdf files, and they must conform to IEEE specifications. The deadline for submission of summary papers is January 8 extended to January 15, 2016 11:59 p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time).

A signed IEEE copyright form is required for each 2-page summary paper. It can be uploaded (in a separate file) when the 2-page summary paper is submitted. Copyright forms can be found at:
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/copyrightmain.html

We recommend that you prepare your 2-page summary paper in Word, and for your convenience, we provide a Word template (last updated November 4, 2015). A LaTeX template (last updated December 16, 2015) is also available. Please use the format and fonts found in these templates. The format is different from the format used in previous CPEMs. Please do NOT use old CPEM templates. Note that the new template includes a Copyright clearance code notice that appears at the bottom of the first page. Follow the directions in the template to customize the Copyright notice sentence by selecting the one that applies to your paper.

Before submitting your 2-page summary paper, please verify that it complies with IEEE specifications for pdf files by using the IEEE PDF eXpress website. The Conference ID is 37065X. You can either submit your pdf file for checking, or you can submit a source file and PDF eXpress will convert it to a pdf file that complies with the IEEE specifications (See “Using IEEE PDF eXpress” on the PDF eXpress website for instructions and for a list of acceptable file types for converting.) IT IS THE AUTHOR’S RESPONSIBILITY to assure that the manuscript is IEEE compliant. The Technical Program Committee does not plan to check each manuscript as it is submitted. Any problems may not be caught until the digest is in production, and at that time it may be too late to correct, resulting in the omission of the paper from the digest. Although the PDF eXpress website offers to collect papers for submission to the Conference, you must still submit your 2-page summary paper through the CPEM 2016 submission process described below.
