The IEEE author formatting and copyright instructions are available from IEEE at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings. Alternatively, you can find them at

Please do not exceed 10 pages in the IEEE 8x11 format for your paper.

We need the camera ready papers to be sent electronically to Sean Murphy smurphy@cs.wisc.edu in PDF format by no later than midnight PDT on April 23, 2004.

Here are some potentially helpful guidelines that will enable us to produce the highest quality proceedings (courtesy of our good friends at CCGrid).

Please use the highest quality PDF-creator you can find. There are many poor tools for creating PDFs, and some of the submitted papers used them. Please find a professional package (such as Adobe) if possible.
Please make sure your documents are easy to read.
Be careful with advanced PDF features. Some PDF writers will automatically create links, change colors, etc. Try and keep it simple.
Make sure your fonts are English, and you select 8.5x11 inch paper size. We received a few papers with embedded Asian font sets. This can play havoc with many PDF viewers not equipped to display Asian character sets. Please, test your PDF on a computer without Asian fonts.
One of the strengths of HPDC is that it is a very international conference. We have many many papers from around the world. We are extremely pleased with the international participation this year. However, we also received many comments from reviewers that the English grammar and spelling had trouble on some papers. Please, double and triple check your submissions. If you need help, please ask.
