Manuscript submissions
should be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) only. The page limit
is 9 pages.
The three most
important elements of manuscript layout are:
1) Margins:
these must be strictly followed. Manuscripts cannot be accepted
for review until
proper margins are used.
US
Letter
A4
Top
margin
0.75
inch
19
mm
Bottom
margin
1
inch
43
mm
Side
margins
0.625
inch

mm
When you upload your PDF, EDAS should report the margins
are no less than 0.625x0.625x1x0.75 with a text region
no more than 7.25 inches x 9.25 inches on a standard US
Letter document (8.5 inches x 11 inches). The minimum line
spacing should be 11pt. Of course, your margins and line spacing can be larger than this. If you have problems setting the
individual margins, please set 1
inch margins all around.
Please run the paper formatting check on EDAS yourself by clicking on the icon under the Check Format column in the Files row in the basic paper view page.
2) Manuscript
should NOT have
Headers
Footers
except for "Page number" information.
3) Pages in the manuscript
should be numbered
Except the first page
Preferably at the top right or bottom center

You are free
to use good judgment in the presentation of your information. These
guidelines are meant only as helpful tools. However, basic adherence
to layout specifications is expected.
Some of the earlier links in this section do not work any more since IEEE has re-organized their website. Please see
table below for latest downloadable templates from IEEE (July 2008).
If you chose to use MS Word or LaTeX, these
templates incorporate the specifications for
conference proceedings on either a US letter page
size or an A4.
a The LaTeX System Tester is
included in the LaTeX archives content. The package
includes instructions on how to test your LaTeX
system settings and reconfigure them as necessary to
enable you to emulate the "control output" for the
best PDF conversion. You are strongly encouraged to
perform this test before laying out your final
manuscript.
b Access IEEEtran LaTeX Class (template)
V1.7 packages and IEEEtran V1.12 BibTeX
(bibliography) packages. Be sure to use the
template's conference mode. See
template documentation for details.
To create a PDF file on different platforms, please see the PDF Generation Instructions page (Courtesy: NSF Fastlane). To avoid printing problems due to missing fonts, please use Postscript Type 1 fonts and embed these fonts in the PDF file.
This page borrows heavily from the IEEE Conference eXpress instructions page to authors for camera-ready
submissions. However, the changes made to the templates for the manuscripts submitted for review are unique to
