Two copies of the paper must be
sent by post, not fax, to the address given below. Your manuscript must
be received by April 15, 2000.
The address is:
The height of the text block should be 240 mm. The width of each
column should be 80 mm. The distance between the two columns of
text should be 5 mm.
Thus, the width of the text block is 165 mm. The text should
be centered left-to-right on the page, i.e., left and right margins should
be the same. The distance
from the bottom edge of the paper to the bottom of the last line of
type on the page should be not less than 30 mm. This allows room
for the printer to insert the copyright notice on the first page and page
numbers.
Please, do not unsert page numbers or other information into running headers or footers. This will be done by us.
The Conference requires a font size of 10 points or greater. Some technical formatting programs print mathematical formulas in italic type, with subscripts and superscripts in a slightly smaller font size. This is acceptable. For the main body of the text the 10 point size roman font should be used.
The title should be centered across the top of the first page. The 22 point size bold font is recommended.
The authors' names and addresses should be centered below the title. The 14 point size roman font is recommended. Please include your e-mail address. For multiauthored papers names and addresses can be placed either side by side, or one under another. Please do not put addresses in footnotes.
Do not indent the initial lines of paragraphs. Leave a line clear between paragraphs.
References should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper and be listed at the end of the paper with the main heading References. When citing references in the text, type the corresponding number in square brackets, e.g [1]. References should be complete and in standard IEEE style.
Equations have to be numbered consecutively with the number in parenthesis, flush to the right.
Only simple line drawings and graphs are allowed. Halftone illustrations (pictures) and photographs are not acceptable. Do not supply Xerox copies. For the best reproduction and handling of illustrations, we prefer that they be included in your wordprocessor file or that the original be pasted. Many wordprocessors allow the insertion of figures from a drawing program or the insertion of a scanned image. For pasting of original illustrations use glue such as a glue stick. Please do not use clear tape. Do not use poor photostats, ozalids, blueprints, hectos, Xerox, etc., for the drawings, illustrations, or charts, since shades of blue, green, and brown do not photograph successfully. Figures should be inserted near their citation or at the end of the manuscript, after References. Large figures may extend over two columns if necessary. Make sure that you number and include a caption for each figure.
Footnotes should be avoided. Authors' addresses have to be placed after the authors' names below the title of the paper. Information about any financial support should be placed in the subsection Acknowledgements at the end of your paper.
