Format

Papers should be submitted in final camera-ready format with a 2-column format on either 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheets (21.6 cm by 27.9 cm) or A4 paper. Copy must be dark, black ink. Each column is limited to 3 1/4 inch in width (8.25 cm) and 8 7/8 inch in length (22.5 cm) with a 3/8 inch gutter (0.95 cm) between columns. The margins are 13/16 inch (2.1 cm) on the sides, 1 1/16 inch (2.7 cm) on the top and bottom. The margins must be adhered to even for A4 paper; the right margin will be 1.45cm and the bottom margin will be 4.4cm if A4 paper is used. Text is to be typed single-spaced in at least 10 point Times Roman (or a font closely resembling this type), with 12 point interline spacing. The first page of the paper, centered on the top below the top margin, should include the paper title, the authors' names, and their affiliations. Illustrations are included in the page count. Do not paste original/separate pictures/photos on your manuscript. Please, process them (e.g., as PostScript files) prior to printing the final camera-ready paper. Do not forget to number your pages in pencil on their back sides.

For Authors using LaTeX, below you can find the styles:

IEEEtran.sty (LaTeX 2.09)IEEEtran.cls (LaTeX 2e)

together with a sample file Sample.tex.

For Authors using Microsoft Word, below you can find the zipped file IEEEtran.zip containing the template (versions 6 & 7 for Windows 95) and a User's Guide that doubles as a Word sample document.

Please note that, differently from the style of IEEE Transactions papers, the information concerning authors' affiliation, department/institute, street, city, state, postal code, country, email, web MUST be provided in the space below the Authors names. This occurrence has already been embedded in to the LaTeX sample, but it is left to the Authors' care for Word use.
