Notes for LaTeX users:- To ensure your submission is formatted for Letter paper use "dvipdf -t letter" (or equivalent).

- Recent versions of MiKTeX may not work with the WWW2008 styles due to a font problem in MiKTeX. More information on this problem is available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/sigfaq.htm#a22.
Notes for Microsoft Word users:
- Converting from Microsoft Word format to PDF depends on which version of Word and which other software you have
on your system.
- For Word 2007 users, you can directly publish a copy of your Word document as a PDF file. However you may need to install the PDF add-in before you can use this built-in PDF functionality.
- Prior to Word 2007 there was no built-in PDF functionality. You need a third-party utility. There are numerous available, many for free, such as PDF 995 and CutePDF Writer. You can also search on the Web or ask for advice in the Word Discussion Groups.
- Another possible way to produce PDF from Microsoft Word is to use OpenOffice. You will have to download and install a recent version of OpenOffice. OpenOffice is available at http://openoffice.org.
Inquiries about the submission process can be sent to easychair-www2009 at dit.upm.es. Any inquiries should be sent well before the submission deadline.
