SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). Submitted papers must include the contact information of all the authors. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through EDAS. When submitting, please select the appropriate Track for your paper (i.e., WIP or Demo).

WIP papers must be, at most, 5 pages in size (including figures, tables, and references). They are expected to present early or ongoing research activities. Novel approaches and preliminary results are especially appreciated.

Demo papers must be up to 4 pages in size (including figures, tables, and references). They should explicitly state what will be demonstrated to the audience, and how the attendees will be able to interact, enjoy, and experiment.

The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the SustainIT 2012 Technical Program Committee. All the accepted papers will be presented during the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present it. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE, and will be included in the Digital Library.
