Before submitting a final manuscript, authors should check whether the manuscript is Xplore-compliant using IEEE PDF eXpress Plus. IEEE PDF eXpress Plus is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to check if the authors have made IEEE Xplore compliant PDF manuscripts (PDF Check function) or to make IEEE xplore-compliant PDF files (Conversion function).

To create an IEEE PDF eXpress Plus account, see an instruction document. IEEE PDF eXpress Plus provides a web page to describe the detailed instructions.

Also, please be advised of the following:
  1. The conference ID of IWSDA'17 is "41376XP".
  2. IEEE PDF eXpress Plus can check a PDF file or convert a Microsoft Word file or a LaTeX file to PDF. When a LaTeX file is converted to a PDF, a DVI file (and image/EPS files if used) must be included in the archive (zip) file.
  3. After checking or converting your file, you can download the IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF from IEEE PDF eXpress Plus by clicking the title of the manuscript. Then, you should submit the IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF manuscript by clicking "Approve for Collection".
  4. Even if you clicked "Approve for Collection" to submit the paper, please download the generated IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF manuscript file and send it by an e-mail to

    iwsda17 (at) macross.cse.kyutech.ac.jp

    before August 4, 2017.
