Paper Format

Paper format and templates

Papers should adhere to the standard IEEE double-column format for conferences (see templates below). The paper length is limited to eight (8) pages (no exceptions). Papers longer than 8 pages will not be taken into consideration for review. Please double-check the paper size in your page setup to make sure you are using the A4 size paper layout (210 x 297mm; i.e. 8.27”x16.69”).

Also, please make sure to use full names of all authors, not just initials (i.e., Firstname Lastname) - this is important for indexing purposes. Note that the capitalization of words in the title should be as in the template (all nouns and adjectives should be capitalized, not just the first word).

The following style files and templates are available for preparing the paper:

LaTeX template file (cls, bst, as well as sample tex and pdf files), a sample PDF file (obtained by using the "IEEEtran.cls" and "IEEEtran.bst"), with detailed instructions for paper formatting:

MS Word 97/2000/XP/2003/2007 template file (DOC and PDF), a sample file with correct formatting and fonts, with instructions for paper formatting:

PDF settings for LaTex and Ghostview/Ghostscript

Paper submissions must use Portable Document Format (PDF). Postscript files may be converted to PDF by using Acrobat Distiller or Ghostview/Ghostcript. See PDF settings below.

MS Word users may also use Create Adobe PDF Online, a free trial service that can convert MS Word to PDF.

A note on PDF Conformance

The papers should be submitted as PDF documents, with all fonts embeded. Although strict PDF conformance will not be required for the initial paper submission, the authors of accepted papers will be requested to prepare the final version to be fully conformant with the IEEE Xplore® requirements.

The instructions on how to produce a conformant PDF file are given below.
