INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS OF REFEREED PAPERS

Formatting requirements are the same as for submissions, except, of course, that the authors and their affiliations should be listed beneath the title of the paper. See #4, below, for details and optional sample files.

Upload your final paper to the Web submissions system by July 5, 2011. If you have questions, please contact Jane-Ellen Long, jel@usenix.org.
