 Camera ready file preparation and submission
instructions
Selection Process
Late-breaking papers will be briefly examined for relevance
and minimum standards of acceptability, but will not
be peer reviewed in detail. Paper acceptance decisions
will be made as soon as possible after receipt of the
submission, until the 20 April 2007 deadline.
Note that at least one author of each accepted Late
Breaking Paper must register for the conference by 20
April 2007, must attend the conference and present the
paper at the scheduled time. Papers with no authors registered
by the deadline will not appear in the Late-Breaking
Papers section of the CD-ROM.
Authors will individually retain copyright (and all
other rights) to their late-breaking papers and should
feel free to submit them (either before or after the
above deadline) for publication by other conferences
or journals. However, authors must submit an ACM permission
to publish form.
Submission Procedure
Because the late-breaking papers are published on a
very tight time schedule, please be very attentive in
carrying out the requirements for submission by 20 April
2007.
1. Upload your camera-ready electronic file (PDF) formatted
to comply with ACM format requirements, and no longer
than EIGHT (8) pages in length, to the submissions website
by 20 April 2007. No paper-based submissions can be accepted.
The URL for the Submission Site is: https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/gecco/
Late-Breaking Papers must
comply with ACM format requirements, must use ACM Templates
for native files (Microsoft Word,
LaTex, or Adobe Framemaker) and must use ACM PDF Settings.
ACM templates: www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
2. Agree to the "permission to publish" agreement
on the submission website. Authors will individually
retain copyright (and all other rights) to their late-breaking
papers.
3. If your paper is accepted, fill out and fax by the
20 April 2007 deadline, the appropriate ACM permission
to publish forms.
4. Register at least one author of the Late-Breaking
Paper for the conference by the deadline for camera-ready
papers (20 April 2007). At least one author must register
for and attend the conference, and present the paper
at the scheduled time. See the registration
page for
more information.
Deadline Extensions
Please be very careful about formatting your paper (and
testing it, by printing it out) because of the very tight
time schedule. No paper-based submissions can be accepted.
No deadline extensions will be granted. Since there will
be no opportunity for revisions, authors should be especially
careful that their original submission is fully compliant
with all requirements above.
Producing a PDF Version of Your Manuscript
PDF documents can be produced either by using commercial
software available from Adobe or by using free conversion
tools for Windows or the ps2pdf and pdflatex utilities
under Unix/Linux. In addition, recent versions of MS
Word may be able to save directly in PDF format. Please,
preview your PDF file with acrobat reader to check that
all the fonts and figures are properly reproduced before
submitting the manuscript.
