Authors must submit their final version of camera-ready papers electronically in PDF format through the EasyChair system no later than 23:59:59 PST on May 31 2018 (Hard Deadline). Before submitting the final version, authors are expected to revise their paper taking into account the feedback from the reviewers. 

All final submissions will be included in the material distributed to the conference participants. However, the IEEE ARM 2018 Proceedings in IEEE Xplore will contain only full technical papers accepted for IEEE ARM 2018 publication, and not more than 25% crosscheck similarity from iThenticate.  The authors can employ itenticate service from http://www.ithenticate.com.cn/. It should be noted that the papers whose similarity is more than 25% would not be included in IEEE Xplore.

For papers accepted to be published in the IEEE ARM 2018 Proceedings, the maximum length is limited to six pages prepared in the standard IEEE Conference Paper Format according to the LaTeX template or Microsoft Word template provided in the IEEE website. The authors are to ensure that the latest US letter template is used and its format is not modified or changed. The authors are required to check their final camera ready paper using PDF-express. A maximum of two additional pages are permitted at an extra charge of USD 100 per page payable at the time of submitting the camera-ready version of the paper.

At least one of the authors listed on the paper must be registered for the conference when the final manuscript is uploaded. Each full registration may only upload one paper.
