If your paper does not conform to the required format, you will be asked to fix it. \end{abstract} % NOTE keywords are not used for conference papers so do not populate them % \begin{keywords} % keyword-1, keyword-2, keyword-3 % \end{keywords} % \section{Introduction} % This document is a template. An electronic copy can be downloaded from the conference website. For questions on paper guidelines, please contact the conference publications committee as indicated on the conference website. Information about final paper submission is available from the conference website. Before submitting your final paper, check that the format conforms to this template. Specifically, check the appearance of the title and author block, the appearance of section headings, document margins, column width, column spacing and other features. \subsection{This Sub-Section for LaTeX Users Only} If the appearance is different from what is shown in this template, then the cause may be the use of conflicting style files in your LaTeX document. An example of an incompatible style file is {\it latex8.sty}. You must remove all such conflicting style files. \section{Page Layout} An easy way to comply with the conference paper formatting requirements is to use this document as a template and simply type your text into it. \subsection{Page Layout} Your paper must use a page size corresponding to US Letter which is 215.9mm (8.5") wide and 279.4mm (11") long. The margins must be set as follows: \begin{itemize} \item Top = 19mm (0.75") \item Bottom = 25.4mm (1") \item Left = Right = 17.3mm (0.68") \end{itemize} Your paper must be in two column format with a space of 4.22mm (0.17") between columns. \section{Page Style} \label{sec:page style} All paragraphs must be indented. All paragraphs must be justified, i.e. both left-justified and right-justified. \subsection{Text Font of Entire Document} The entire document should be in Times New Roman or Times font. Type 3 fonts must not be used. Other font types may be used if needed for special purposes. Recommended font sizes are shown in Table \ref{tab:font-sizes}. \subsection{Title and Author Details} \label{sec:title and author details} Title must be in 24 pt Regular font. Author name must be in 11 pt Regular font. Author affiliation must be in 10 pt Italic. Email address must be in 9 pt Courier Regular font. \begin{table}[!h] \centering \caption{Font Sizes for Papers} % NOTE! caption goes _before_ the table contents !! \label{tab:font-sizes} \begin{small} \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline {\bfseries Font} & \multicolumn{3} {c|} {\bfseries Appearance (in Times New Roman or Times} \\ \cline{2-4} {\bfseries Size} & {\bfseries Regular} & {\bfseries Bold} & {\bfseries Italic} \\ \hline 8 & table caption (in & & reference item \\ & Small Caps), & & (partial) \\ & figure caption, & & \\ & reference item & & \\ \hline 9 & author email address & abstract body & abstract heading \\ & (in Courier), & & (also in Bold) \\ & cell in a table & & \\ \hline 10 & level-1 heading (in & & level-2 heading, \\ & Small Caps), & & level-3 heading, \\ & paragraph & & author affiliation \\ \hline 11 & author name & & \\ \hline 24 & title & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{small} \end{table} All title and author details must be in single-column format and must be centered. Every word in a title must be capitalized except for short minor words such as ``a'', ``an'', ``and'', ``as'', ``at'', ``by'', ``for'', ``from'', ``if'', ``in'', ``into'', ``on'', ``or'', ``of'', ``the'', ``to'', ``with''. Author details must not show any professional title (e.g. Managing Director), any academic title (e.g. Dr.) or any membership of any professional organization (e.g. Senior Member IEEE). To avoid confusion, the family name must be written as the last part of each author name (e.g. John A.K. Smith). Each affiliation must include, at the very least, the name of the company and the name of the country where the author is based (e.g. Causal Productions Pty Ltd, Australia). Email address is compulsory for the corresponding author. \subsection{Section Headings} No more than 3 levels of headings should be used. All headings must be in 10pt font. Every word in a heading must be capitalized except for short minor words as listed in Section \ref{sec:title and author details}. \subsubsection{Level-1 Heading} A level-1 heading must be in Small Caps, centered and numbered using uppercase Roman numerals. For example, see heading ``\ref{sec:page style}. Page Style'' of this document. The two level-1 headings which must not be numbered are ``Acknowledgment'' and ``References''. \subsubsection{Level-2 Heading} A level-2 heading must be in Italic, left-justified and numbered using an uppercase alphabetic letter followed by a period. For example, see heading ``C. Section Headings'' above. \subsubsection{Level-3 Heading} A level-3 heading must be indented, in Italic and numbered with an Arabic numeral followed by a right parenthesis. The level-3 heading must end with a colon. The body of the level-3 section immediately follows the level-3 heading in the same paragraph. For example, this paragraph begins with a level-3 heading. \subsection{Figures and Tables} Figures and tables must be centered in the column. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Any table or figure that takes up more than 1 column width must be positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the page. Graphics may be full color. All colors will be retained on the CDROM. Graphics must not use stipple fill patterns because they may not be reproduced properly. Please use only SOLID FILL colors which contrast well both on screen and on a black-and-white hardcopy, as shown in Fig. \ref{fig:sample_graph}. \begin{figure}[h] \centerline{\psfig{figure=fig_1.eps,width=68.7mm} } \caption{A sample line graph using colors which contrast well both on screen and on a black-and-white hardcopy} \label{fig:sample_graph} \end{figure} Fig. \ref{fig:lores-photo} shows an example of a low-resolution image which would not be acceptable, whereas Fig. \ref{fig:hires-photo} shows an example of an image with adequate resolution. Check that the resolution is adequate to reveal the important detail in the figure. Please check all figures in your paper both on screen and on a black-and-white hardcopy. When you check your paper on a black-and-white hardcopy, please ensure that: \begin{itemize} \item the colors used in each figure contrast well, \item the image used in each figure is clear, \item all text labels in each figure are legible. \end{itemize} \begin{figure}[h] \centerline{\psfig{figure=lores_photo.eps,height=64.54mm} } \caption{Example of an unacceptable low-resolution image} \label{fig:lores-photo} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[h] \centerline{\psfig{figure=hires_photo.eps,height=64.54mm} } \caption{Example of an image with acceptable resolution} \label{fig:hires-photo} \end{figure} \subsection{Figure Captions} Figures must be numbered using Arabic numerals. Figure captions must be in 8 pt Regular font. Captions of a single line (e.g. Fig. \ref{fig:lores-photo}) must be centered whereas multi-line captions must be justified (e.g. Fig. \ref{fig:sample_graph}). Captions with figure numbers must be placed after their associated figures, as shown in Fig. \ref{fig:sample_graph}. \subsection{Table Captions} Tables must be numbered using uppercase Roman numerals. Table captions must be centred and in 8 pt Regular font with Small Caps. Every word in a table caption must be capitalized except for short minor words as listed in Section \ref{sec:title and author details}. Captions with table numbers must be placed before their associated tables, as shown in Table \ref{tab:font-sizes}. \subsection{Page Numbers, Headers and Footers} Page numbers, headers and footers must not be used. \subsection{Links and Bookmarks} All hypertext links and section bookmarks will be removed from papers during the processing of papers for publication. If you need to refer to an Internet email address or URL in your paper, you must type out the address or URL fully in Regular font. \subsection{References} The heading of the References section must not be numbered. All reference items must be in 8 pt font. Please use Regular and Italic styles to distinguish different fields as shown in the References section. Number the reference items consecutively in square brackets (e.g. \cite{IEEEexample:book}). When referring to a reference item, please simply use the reference number, as in \cite{IEEEexample:bookwithseriesvolume}. Do not use “Ref. \cite{IEEEexample:article_typical}” or “Reference \cite{IEEEexample:article_typical}” except at the beginning of a sentence, e.g. ``Reference \cite{IEEEexample:article_typical} shows …''. Multiple references are each numbered with separate brackets (e.g. \cite{IEEEexample:bookwithseriesvolume}, \cite{IEEEexample:article_typical}, \cite{IEEEexample:confwithpaper}--[6]). Examples of reference items of different categories shown in the References section include: \begin{itemize} \item example of a book in \cite{IEEEexample:book} \item example of a book in a series in \cite{IEEEexample:bookwithseriesvolume} \item example of a journal article in \cite{IEEEexample:article_typical} \item example of a conference paper in \cite{IEEEexample:confwithpaper} \item example of a patent in \cite{IEEEexample:uspat} \item example of a website in \cite{IEEEexample:IEEEwebsite} \item example of a web page in \cite{IEEEexample:shellCTANpage} \item example of a databook as a manual in \cite{IEEEexample:motmanual} \item example of a datasheet in \cite{IEEEexample:datasheet} \item example of a master's thesis in \cite{IEEEexample:masterstype} \item example of a technical report in \cite{IEEEexample:techreptype} \item example of a standard in \cite{IEEEexample:standard} \end{itemize} % the following command shrinks the final page to force the columns to % be balanced. You will need to adjust the value according to the % appearance of your last page. Start by setting the value to 0mm % and slowly increase it until the columns balance. Alternatively, % use balance.sty to do the job. \enlargethispage{-62mm} \section{Conclusion} The version of this template is V3. Most of the formatting instructions in this document have been compiled by Causal Productions from the IEEE LaTeX style files. Causal Productions offers both A4 templates and US Letter templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The LaTeX templates depend on the official IEEEtran.cls and IEEEtran.bst files, whereas the Microsoft Word templates are self-contained. Causal Productions has used its best efforts to ensure that the templates have the same appearance. Causal Productions permits the distribution and revision of these templates on the condition that Causal Productions is credited in the revised template as follows: ``original version of this template was provided by courtesy of Causal Productions (www.causalproductions.com)''. \section*{Acknowledgment} The heading of the Acknowledgment section and the References section must not be numbered. Causal Productions wishes to acknowledge Michael Shell and other contributors for developing and maintaining the IEEE LaTeX style files which have been used in the preparation of this template. To see the list of contributors, please refer to the top of file IEEETran.cls in the IEEE LaTeX distribution. \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran} \bibliography{IEEEabrv,IEEEexample} \end{document}
