most of the formatting spe$ifi$ations needed for preparing

$omplian$e to ele$troni$ re6uirements that fa$ilitate the
$on$urrent or later produ$tion of ele$troni$ produ$ts# and (%)
$onformity of style throughout a $onferen$e pro$eedings.

B. Maintaining the Integrit of the Specifications
The template is used to format your paper and style the te8t.
All margins# $olumn 5idths# line spa$es# and te8t fonts are
pres$ribed7 please do not alter them. <ou may note
pe$uliarities. :or e8ample# the head margin in this template
measures proportionately more than is $ustomary. This
measurement and others are deliberate# using spe$ifi$ations
that anti$ipate your paper as one part of the entire pro$eedings#
and not as an independent do$ument. Please do not re1ise any
of the $urrent designations.

return at the end of a paragraph. +o not add any Aind of
pagination any5here in the paper. +o not number te8t heads"
the template 5ill do that for you.

formatting. Please taAe note of the follo5ing items 5hen
proofreading spelling and grammar:
A. Abbre!iations and Acronms
+efine abbre1iations and a$ronyms the first time they are
used in the te8t# e1en after they ha1e been defined in the
abstra$t. Abbre1iations su$h as (999# S(# -@S# &?S# s$# d$#

the title or heads unless they are una1oidable.

,se either S( (-@S) or &?S as primary units. (S( units
are en$ouraged.) 9nglish units may be used as
se$ondary units (in parentheses). An e8$eption 5ould
be the use of 9nglish units as identifiers in trade# su$h
as 2%.B"in$h disA dri1e.4
A1oid $ombining S( and &?S units# su$h as $urrent in
amperes and magneti$ field in oersteds. This often leads
to $onfusion be$ause e6uations do not balan$e
dimensionally. (f you must use mi8ed units# $learly state
the units for ea$h 6uantity that you use in an e6uation.
+o not mi8 $omplete spellings and abbre1iations of
units: 2.b/m!4 or 25ebers per s6uare meter#4 not
25ebers/m!.4 Spell units 5hen they appear in te8t: 2...a

To $reate multile1eled e6uations# it may be ne$essary to treat
the e6uation as a graphi$ and insert it into the te8t after your
paper is styled.
Number e6uations $onse$uti1ely. 96uation numbers# 5ithin
parentheses# are to position flush right# as in (1)# using a right
tab stop. To maAe your e6uations more $ompa$t# you may use
the solidus ( / )# the e8p fun$tion# or appropriate e8ponents.

?reeA symbols. ,se a long dash rather than a hyphen for a
minus sign. Pun$tuate e6uations 5ith $ommas or periods 5hen

A. Authors and Affiliations
The template is designed so that author affiliations are not
repeated ea$h time for multiple authors of the same affiliation.
Please Aeep your affiliations as su$$in$t as possible (for
e8ample# do not differentiate among departments of the same
organiation). This template 5as designed for t5o affiliations.
1) (or author)s of onl one affiliation (Heading *)+ To
$hange the default# adDust the template as follo5s.

affiliation lines.

additional affiliation.

number of affiliations# the final affiliation 5ill be $entered on
the page7 all pre1ious 5ill be in t5o $olumns.
.e suggest that you use a te8t bo8 to insert a graphi$
(5hi$h is ideally a %// dpi resolution T(:: or 9PS file 5ith
all fonts embedded) be$ause this method is some5hat more
stable than dire$tly inserting a pi$ture.

B. Identif the Headings
Ceadings# or heads# are organiational de1i$es that guide
the reader through your paper. There are t5o types: $omponent
heads and te8t heads.
&omponent heads identify the different $omponents of your
paper and are not topi$ally subordinate to ea$h other. 98amples
in$lude A&@N*.>9+?-9NTS and )9:9)9N&9S# and for
these# the $orre$t style to use is 2Ceading B.4 ,se 2figure
$aption4 for your :igure $aptions# and 2table head4 for your
table title. )un"in heads# su$h as 2Abstra$t#4 5ill re6uire you to
apply a style (in this $ase# itali$) in addition to the style
pro1ided by the drop do5n menu to differentiate the head from
the te8t.
Te8t heads organie the topi$s on a relational# hierar$hi$al
basis. :or e8ample# the paper title is the primary te8t head
be$ause all subse6uent material relates and elaborates on this
one topi$. (f there are t5o or more sub"topi$s# the ne8t le1el
head (upper$ase )oman numerals) should be used and#
$on1ersely# if there are not at least t5o sub"topi$s# then no
subheads should be introdu$ed. Styles named 2Ceading 1#4
2Ceading !#4 2Ceading %#4 and 2Ceading '4 are pres$ribed.
