Final paper upload
Final papers must be submitted via Web upload.
PLEASE NOTE: Once the PDF file is uploaded it is considered FINAL.
Although the system will allow you to replace the revised version,
the revised paper is NOT intended to be uploaded more than once.The
Editors periodically check revised files on the system and then
move them to another location, so the version on the system at
that time will appear in the Proceedings.

Once the PDF file is uploaded it is considered FINAL.
PLEASE NOTE that
the final file CAN NOT be viewed directly from EDAS Web
page. Should you try to do so, you will receive a message
"File name nnn-final.pdf does not agree with
paper number nnn".
This is NOT a bug.
