Instructions for authors - final submission

Manuscript preparation

Please prepare the final version of your paper following the IEEE guideline for proceedings manuscripts. Authors must use the IEEE transaction (IEEETran) style. The style files for LaTeX and Microsoft Word can be downloaded directly on the IEEE Website.

Full papers must be up to 12 pages, short papers cannot exceed 6 pages. This includes all figures, tables, and references.

Manuscript submission

Every manuscript must be submitted through the EDAS system in PDF format. The submitted PDF file must adhere to the following specifications. Basic PDF distiller settings must be changed to:

• optimized
• Acrobat 4.0 compatibility
• all graphics at least 300 dpi resolution
• ALL fonts are embedded and subset
• postscript settings DO NOT override distiller settings;
• page size is US Letter: 612.0 x 792.0 points (8.5" x 11")

Important

Authors must check their final pdf files before submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and subset. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not embed. These fonts must be avoided. All fonts MUST be Type 1 or 3 PostScript fonts from the Latin 1 Fontset. PostScript printers will not recognize any other fonts. Do not use TrueType, bitmapped, or Ryumin fonts. Some older FTP applications (RapidFTP included) may require the user to choose a remote operating system type. In these instances choose: "MS Windows NT - Unix". Papers that have been improperly formatted will not be considered.

Thank you for your cooperation!
