Follow these guidelines when preparing
your submission:
LENGTH: You are allowed a total of five (5) pages for your final
paper. This is the maximum number of pages that will be accepted,
including all figures, tables, and references. Any documents that
exceed the page limit will be truncated.
LANGUAGE: All submissions must be in English.
MARGINS: Documents should be formatted for standard letter-size
(8-1/2" by 11") paper. Documents may not exceed the page
limit. Any text or other material outside the margins specified below
will not be accepted:
- All text and figures must be contained in a 175 mm x 226 mm (6.9
inch x 8.9 inch) image area.
- The left margin must be 19 mm (0.75 inch).
- The top margin must be 25 mm (1.0 inch), except for the title page where it must be 35 mm (1.375 inches).
- Text should appear in two columns, each 83 mm wide with 8 mm space between columns.
- On the first page, the top 50 mm (2") of both columns is reserved for the title, author(s), and affiliation(s). These items should be centered across both columns, starting at 35 mm (1.375 inches) from the top of the page.
- The abstract should appear at the top of the left-hand column of text, about 12 mm (0.5") below the title area and no more than 80 mm (3.125") in length. Leave 12 mm (0.5") of space between the end of the abstract and the beginning of the main text.
A format sheet with the margins and placement guides is available in the following file formats:
- PDF file (Most Accurate. When you print this file, make sure the "shrink to fit" box is not checked!)
- PostScript file
These files contain lines and boxes showing the margins and print areas. If you print one of these files, then stack it atop your printed page and hold it up to the light, you can easily check your margins to see if your print area fits within the space allowed.
TYPEFACE: To achieve the best viewing experience for the review process and conference proceedings, we strongly encourage authors to use Times-Roman font. If a font face is used that is not recognized by the submission system, your paper will not be reproduced correctly. Use a font size that is no smaller than 9 points throughout the paper, including figure captions. In 9-point type font, capital letters are 2 mm high. For 9-point type font, there should be no more than 3.2 lines/cm (8 lines/inch) vertically. This is a minimum spacing; 2.75 lines/cm (7 lines/inch) will make the paper much more readable. Larger type sizes require correspondingly larger vertical spacing.
TITLE: The manuscript title has to appear in boldface CAPITAL letters. The authors' name(s) and affiliation(s) appear below the title in capital and lower case letters. Proposals with multiple authors and affiliations may require two or more lines for this information.
ABSTRACT: Each manuscript should contain an abstract of 100 to 150
words that appears at the beginning of the manuscript. Use the same
text that is submitted electronically along with the author contact
information.
BODY: Major headings appear in boldface CAPITAL letters, centered in the column. Subheadings appear in capital and lower case, either underlined or in boldface. They start at the left margin of the column on a separate line. Sub-subheadings are discouraged, but if they must be used, they should appear in capital and lower case, and start at the left margin on a separate line. They may be underlined or in italics.
REFERENCES: List and number all references at the end of the
manuscript. The references can be numbered in alphabetical order or in
order of appearance in the document. When referring to them in the
text, type the corresponding reference number in square brackets as
shown at the end of this sentence [1]. The end of the document should
include a list of references containing information similar to the
following example:
[1] D. E. Ingalls, "Image Processing for Experts," IEEE Trans. ASSP, vol. ASSP-36, pp. 1932-1948, 1988.
ILLUSTRATIONS & COLOR: Illustrations must appear within the
designated margins. They may span the two columns. If possible,
position illustrations at the top of columns, rather than in the
middle or at the bottom. Caption and number every illustration. All
halftone illustrations must be clear in black and white. Since the
printed proceedings will be produced in black and white, be sure that
your images are acceptable when printed in black and white.
PAGE NUMBERS: Do not put page numbers on your document. We will add appropriate page numbers to accepted papers when the conference proceedings are assembled.
The following style files and templates are available for users of LaTeX and Microsoft Word:
We recommend that you use the Word file or LaTeX files to produce
your document, since they have been set up to meet the formatting
guidelines listed above. When using these files, double-check the
paper size in your page setup to make sure you are using the
letter-size paper layout (8.5" X 11"). The LaTeX environment files
specify suitable margins, page layout, text, and a bibliography
style. Although this environment has been extensively tested, there
may be rare instances when it is not fully robust.
