Final Version (for accepted papers) Submission Instructions:
IEEE requires that the PDF files submitted for accepted papers be 100% IEEE Xplore compliant.

• If you prepared your paper using LaTex, you can create a IEEE Xplore compliant PDF file from your div file using the commands:
  
     dvips -o mypaper.ps -G0 -tletter mypaper
     ps2pdf mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf
  
  
• If you used MS Word to prepare your paper, a good way to convert a Word file to a IEEE Xplore compliant PDF is to use IEEE PDF eXpress (see instructions below). You will need to register, log in, and upload your MS Word file to the PDF eXpress website. The website will convert it to PDF file for you and send you an email shortly with the converted PDF file in attachment.
• Please make sure that your PDF file passes the IEEE PDF eXpress compliance check. This is an IEEE requirement for the publication of the proceedings. If you are unfamiliar with the use of the IEEE PDF eXpress, you may refer to the following instructions for producing IEEE Xplore compliant PDF files. A PDF eXpress site will be available from April 30 - July 15, 2008 for CIBCB 2008 papers. To access IEEE PDF eXpress, go to: http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/log.asp and use the Conference ID: cibcb08x.
• After you have prepared your camera ready final IEEE Xplore compliant paper use the link included in your acceptance email to upload your final paper.
