The Classified Technical Program (CTP) is finalizing its agenda relevant to communications and information processing systems, technologies, and capabilities in the decade beyond 2010. Technical papers, panels and tutorials containing classified (up to DoD Secret) or ITAR-sensitive information are appropriate for the Classified Technical Program.
Notifications have already been sent to authors approved for the CTP. The remaining steps for these authors to submit their final paper to the classified program of MILCOM 2010 are:

Manuscripts for the technical program can be up to six (6) pages in length, two-column, single-spaced, on U.S. letter paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches), with 10-point font for the body. Final papers that exceed six (6) pages will be assessed a per-page, over-length charge of $350/page, up to a maximum of ten (10) total pages. Manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format. Other formatting should follow the IEEE standard conference format: the IEEE provides Word templates and LaTeX style files. Only original manuscripts that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered.
Presentations for the technical program must be of a length that can be presented within a 25 minute timeslot. Presentations must be in MS Powerpoint 2003 format using the template provided in the link above. Presentations must also be marked in accordance with the instructions below.
The Classification Marking example below shows a properly marked document. Format, typing and instructions for unclassified papers also apply to classified papers.

The Classification Marking Example shows a properly marked Classified document. For Unclassified documents, mark top and bottom of pages with UNCLASSIFIED. Mark each paragraph according to its highest classification level. This paper sample is unclassified. Security markings are for illustration purposes only.
The first and last page must reflect the overall classification of the paper and presentation, and each subsequent page marked to reflect the highest classification of the information on that page. Be sure to label all pages that do not contain classified material as unclassified and mark all such portions with (U). Use 14-point Times Roman bold font for the classification markings, centered at the top and bottom of the pages.
All of the following information must appear on the first page:
To complete the "Derived from" line, identify the applicable DD Form 254 or other classification guide. If the source is DD Form 254, include the date and applicable contract number. If the source is a classification guide, identify the guide and its date. If there are two guides, cite both. If there are more than two guides, use the phrase "Multiple Sources." Maintain a bibliography of the multiple sources.
Mark each section, part, paragraph, subparagraph, or portion, to show the level of classification or that a portion is unclassified. Use a capital letter in parentheses: (S), (C) or (U) to denote Secret, Confidential, and Unclassified, respectively.
Place the abbreviated marking before the first word of a heading, subheading, or caption. This marking must indicate the classification of that item only, except when a second-level heading is included in the first line of a paragraph. In this case, the marking must show the classification of the paragraph.
Lists are marked as follows:
Mark each narrative footnote with its own classification preceding the footnote.
Fully enclose each illustration, photograph, figure, graph, drawing, chart, table and similar display material, and clearly show its classified or unclassified status. Place the unabbreviated classification marking in the lower left corner of the box, i.e., SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL.
Use a letter in parentheses to indicate the classification of a figure caption. Place the classification marking between the figure number and first word of the caption. Center the caption below the image area.
Use a letter in parentheses to indicate the classification of a table title. Center the table number and title on one line above the table with the classification marking between the number and first word. Type the table classification in the lower-left corner of the table.

Place the classification of the document after the title when referencing classified sources. No identifier is required after the title when referencing unclassified sources.
