Full papers must be compatible with the IEEE Xplore format in order to be published in IEEE Xplore.
Papers that do not fit the format will not be published in IEEE Xplore.
The extended abstract will not be included in the IEEE Xplore publication.
We kindly ask authors to check your camera-ready paper if all fonts in the PDF file of
the final manuscript are embedded and subset. It can be checked from Document
Properties/Fonts in File menu of Adobe Acrobat.
Please use the LaTeX or MS Word template here.
Prepare your paper in a full-size format, A4 paper (210mm by 297mm), and write in English. Please DO NOT put a page number on each page.
Type Sizes and Typefaces: Follow the type sizes specified in the Table below. As an aid in gauging type size, 1 point is about 0.35 mm. The size of the lowercase letter "j" will give the point size. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
Margins: top = 19mm, bottom = 43mm and left = right = 13mm. The column width is 8mm (3.45 in). The space between the two columns is 4mm (0.17 in). Paragraph indentation is 3.5 mm (0.14 in).
Style: The style of the paper is single-spaced two-column format. Left- and right-justify your columns. Use tables and figures to adjust column length. On the last page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling. Digitize or paste down figures.
The First Page: Center the title across both columns at the top of the first page, followed by authors' names and their affiliations.
Long title should be typed on two lines without a blank line intervening. The two-column format should start with the abstract.
Type the abstract at the beginning of the left column in the first page, leaving approximately 1 cm (0.39 in) from the title part.
Begin typing the main body of the text immediately after the abstract.
Information for LaTeX users:
Generating a PostScript file is straightforward for all LaTeX packages we are aware of. When preparing the proposal under LaTeX, it is preferable to use scalable fonts such as Type I, Computer Modern. However, quite good results can be obtained with the fonts defined in the style file recommended above (spconf.sty).
PDF files with Postscript Type 3 fonts are highly discouraged. PDF and PostScript files utilizing Type 3 fonts are typically produced by the LaTeX system and are lower-resolution bitmapped versions of the letters and figures. It is possible to perform a few simple changes to the configuration or command-line to produce files that use PostScript Type 1 fonts, which are a vector representation of the letters and figures.
For most installations of LaTeX, you can cause dvips to output Type 1 fonts instead of Type 3 fonts by including -Ppdf option to dvips. The resulting PDF file will reference the Type 1 Computer Modern fonts, rather than embedding the bitmapped Type 3 versions, which cause problems with printers.
You may also need to tell dvips to force letter sized paper with the option: -t letter.
Some LaTeX installations also include pdflatex, which produces acceptable PDF files as well.
File Size Limit: Authors will be permitted to submit a document file up to 5 MB (megabytes).
File Name:
The name of the document file should be the first author's last name.pdf. For example, if the first author's name is Johan Smith, you would submit your file as "smith.pdf".
