Paper Submission Deadline : November 10, 2009

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or experience reports in English using the paper format indicated below. Each submitted paper will have to be associated to one of the four following categories :

Technical solution papers present solutions which are novel or significantly improve on existing solutions. A technical solution paper must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution. Results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in later research.
Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The research method must be sound and appropriate.
Industrial practice and experience papers: present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given.
Doctoral Papers are papers submitted by doctoral students (only) and are related to research work in progress.

By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them will register to the conference and present the paper. Each paper should clearly indicate the issues, domains or environments to which it is related. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the RCIS’10 Program Committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. A "blind" paper evaluation method will be used. Therefore authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the full paper, without any reference to the authors. The manuscript must contain, in its first page, the paper title, the paper category (technical solution, evaluation, industrial, doctoral), an abstract and a list of keywords but no names or contact details are to be included in any part of the file. Notification of paper acceptance/rejection will be sent by email. The papers which have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in IEEE Proceedings.

The authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the reviewing process will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal.

Submitted papers should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages in the IEEE 2-column format (see camera-ready instructions ). All paper submissions will be handled electronically.

STEP 1 - Submission intention:
Each paper submission needs a previous submission intention which consists in entering the name and email of the contact author, the paper category (technical solution, evaluation, industrial, doctoral), the title and the abstract of the paper. You will receive immediately a confirmation mail from RCIS'10 with paper identifier and password. Please, change your password after the first login.

STEP 2 - Paper submission:
To complete the paper submission, you have then to log into your account, select the topics covered by your paper and upload your paper in Xplore compliant PDF format.
All submissions must be anonymous: Authors should ensure that author names, affiliations, and any obvious references to the actual authors of this paper within the body are removed prior to submission.

Check if your file is IEEE Xplore compatible: Since Proceedings will be published with the IEEE Conference Publications Program through IEEE Xplore digital library, paper submissions must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format (see IEEE Conference Templates). They should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages and be submitted in PDF format.

Until the submission deadline (November 10, 2009) , you may log into your account to change the paper title, to update the abstract or the full paper or to add or suppress an additional author.

STEP 3 - Final Version Upload:
(after acceptation notification on February 1, 2010)
If your paper has been accepted, you have to pay the registration fees, to sign the IEEE copyright electronic form and to upload the final version of your paper (with auhors names, without page numbers, without headers nor footers).

Please use the IEEE PDF eXpress tool (Conference ID: rcis10x) to convert your source file into IEEE Xplore compliant PDF File or to check if your own PDF file is IEEE Xplore compliant. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).
It is important to note that submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation of a compliant PDF file, you must still submit your final paper through online submission.
