The convention to be used in naming the files on your local machine that you want to upload via the JFIC2010 Upload portal is:

The Session the paper or presentation is targeted for ( Note: For Posters –use P for Session )
_ Last name of the paper or presentation principal author
_ Date of the Upload in MM_DD_YY format.
.The format of the document types such as .pdf for Adobe,  .doc for MS Word,  .ppt for MS Powerpoint.

Please separate the different name components with the underscore character ('_'), except the format which should be separated with a period.  

Do not include spaces or any other special characters  such as '@', '*', '"', ',' ''', within the file names, including within the Last name component, although you may include numbers within the Last name component.

Example:  Jane Dough is principal author of a paper written in MS Word (.doc) that will be presented during Session 2C.  She uploads the files from her workstation on October 15, 2009.  She also includes an Adobe Acrobat version (.pdf), and an associated Powerpoint presentation (.ppt).  All three files are uploaded.
 
In this situation, the names of the files on Jane's local machine uploaded via the upload portal would be:

2C_Dough_10_15_09.doc
2C_Dough_10_15_09.pdf
2C_Dough_10_15_09.ppt

After you have completed the upload, you may review the results by clicking on the link returned by the upload response message.  You cannot delete uploaded files; only the site administrator within the review committee has the ability to delete files.

Repeating the upload process using the same name DOES NOT result in the previous upload being overlaid, it simply results in an additional copy by that name being uploaded. Uploaded files are assigned a unique ID during the upload process which is appended to the file name on the upload server and only you and the review committee can see the link to the uploaded file (hence the reason why files of the same name are not overlaid).   If you wish to upload a new version of your file on the same day and clearly designate it as such, it is suggested that you include a number in the Last Name component (e.g. 2C_Dough2_10_15_09.doc). 

The fields  'Your Name',  'Your email address'  and at least one file to be uploaded are required. The upload process generates an email to the review committee notifying them of the upload.  The generated email includes the required fields, the file names, and the content of the 'Your message' fields (e.g. 'I just uploaded file Dough2 and it supersedes the version named Dough that I uploaded previously today').
