Submitting and Uploading your Paper
- Enter additional authors of the paper. Enter each author using either their EDAS identifier or their last name. Each author must be registered in EDAS; if an author is not yet registered in EDAS, you will be prompted for the information to register them. You must also select one of the authors to be the correspondence author.
- After registering your paper submission, you must upload your actual paper.
- To upload your paper right after registering your submission, simply follow EDAS instructions on the acknowledgement page.
- Alternatively, you can upload your paper later from your WiSec 2008 EDAS homepage. From there, you can upload your paper by clicking on the
icon in the line that shows your paper's listing, or via ftp, or email as per instructions on that page.
- After you return to your WiSec 2008 EDAS homepage, you will see your uploaded paper. If you click on the paper number, you will see the paper details. If you click on the paper under "Manuscript", you will see the PDF version that you uploaded.
- From your WiSec 2008 EDAS homepage, you can see the status of your paper.

Revising your Paper or Account
- After you have submitted your paper, you can revise your submission at any time before the submission deadline.
