INFOCOM Camera Ready
Use this after acceptance. INFOCOM papers publish in the IEEE INFOCOM Proceedings and IEEE Xplore, so the camera-ready is an IEEE production step with hard mechanical gates: the IEEE electronic Copyright Form (eCF) and PDF eXpress validation, plus an author-registration requirement. Reopen the current Final Paper Submission Guidelines, the decision email, and the registration page before advising (INFOCOM 2026 final paper: 9 Jan 2026, US ET).
Camera-ready audit
- De-anonymize completely: restore the author block, affiliations, ORCIDs, acknowledgements, funding/grant numbers, and the real tool/testbed/repository names that double-blind forced you to hide.
- Apply the final IEEEtran format within the page budget (10 pages max, ≤9 of text incl. appendices) and any camera-ready page allowance the acceptance letter states — INFOCOM sometimes permits a purchased extra page; confirm per cycle.
- Complete the IEEE eCF: submit the electronic copyright transfer; EDAS auto-directs you to the eCF site. The correct IEEE copyright notice must appear on the first page of the final PDF.
- Pass PDF eXpress: run the final PDF through IEEE PDF eXpress to produce an Xplore-compliant file, then upload it to EDAS. A PDF that fails PDF eXpress is not published.
- Meet the author-registration rule: at least one author must register for the main conference as an author; one registration covers up to three main-conference papers (verify the current cycle's exact ratio).
- Integrate reviewer-required changes from the reviews faithfully — without strengthening claims beyond what was evaluated.
- Permanentize any release: if you released an artifact, replace any anonymized link with a public, licensed, DOI-issuing archive and update the paper to point at it.
De-anonymization sweep
| Anonymized at submission | Restore at camera-ready | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Author block, affiliations, ORCID | Full, correctly ordered | Wrong order breaks the Xplore citation |
| Tool / testbed / system name | Real name throughout text, figures, release | A leftover placeholder in a caption |
| Acknowledgements, funding | Restored | Grant numbers required by funders |
| Self-citations (third person) | Natural first-person where it aids clarity | Over-correcting into double-citation |
| Anonymized artifact link | Public archive DOI | The old anonymized URL surviving in a footnote |
IEEE Xplore production checks
[Template] IEEEtran, correct preamble; no manual margin/font edits; within the page budget
[eCF] IEEE electronic copyright form completed via EDAS; correct notice on page 1
[PDF eXpress] final PDF validated through IEEE PDF eXpress and uploaded to EDAS
[Registration] at least one author registered; covers this paper (and up to two more)
[Metadata] title, authors+ORCID, abstract, and indexing terms match the final PDF in EDAS
[References] complete and consistent; DOIs where available; within the reference allowance
[Figures] vector where possible; readable in print; captions self-contained
[Links] any artifact/data link resolves from a logged-out browser
Worked example: integrating a required change
The reviewers required tuning a baseline and stating an assumption's limit. Camera-ready move: report the re-tuned baseline's numbers in the existing results table, add one sentence in the system model justifying the assumption and one in the limits paragraph bounding it, restore the real simulator/tool name throughout, and point any released package at its now-public DOI archive — without expanding the claim the TPC accepted.
Hedged logistics
- The camera-ready date, any purchased-extra-page allowance, the registration-to-papers ratio, and eCF/PDF eXpress mechanics change each cycle; confirm against the decision email and the current Final Paper Submission Guidelines rather than a prior year.
Output format
[Camera-ready status] ready / needs fixes / blocked
[De-anonymization] author block / tool name / acks / links restored? yes/no
[IEEE gates] eCF complete? PDF eXpress passed? author registered? yes/no
[Reviewer-change map] <required change -> final edit, no scope creep>
[Release] anonymized link replaced by DOI archive? yes/no/na
[Remaining owner] <person -> task before the final-paper deadline>
