Abstract—This electronic document is a “live” template. The
various components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] arealready defined on the style sheet, as illustrated by the portions
given in this document. DO NOT USE SPECIAL
CHARACTERS, SYMBOLS, OR MATH IN YOUR TITLE
OR ABSTRACT. (Abstract)
Keywords-component; formatting; style; styling; insert (keywords)I.

INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1)

All manuscripts must be in English. These guidelines
include complete descriptions of the fonts, spacing, andrelated information for producing your proceedings
manuscripts. Please follow them and if you have any
questions, direct them to the production editor in charge ofyour proceedings at Conference Publishing Services (CPS):
Phone +1 (714) 821-8380 or Fax +1 (714) 761-1784.
This template provides authors with most of theformatting specifications needed for preparing electronic
versions of their papers. All standard paper components havebeen specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use whenformatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance toelectronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later
production of electronic products, and (3) conformity of stylethroughout a conference proceedings. Margins, column
widths, line spacing, and type styles are built-in; examples of
the type styles are provided throughout this document andare identified in italic type, within parentheses, following theexample. PLEASE DO NOT RE-ADJUST THESEMARGINS. Some components, such as multi-leveled
equations, graphics, and tables are not prescribed, although
the various table text styles are provided. The formatter willneed to create these components, incorporating theapplicable criteria that follow.
II.

TYPE STYLE AND FONTS

Wherever Times is specified, Times Roman or Times
New Roman may be used. If neither is available on yourword processor, please use the font closest in appearance toTimes. Avoid using bit-mapped fonts if possible. True-Type
1 or Open Type fonts are preferred. Please embed symbol
fonts, as well, for math, etc.

EASE OF USE

A. Selecting a Template (Heading 2)First, confirm that you have the correct template for yourpaper size. This template has been tailored for output on the
US-letter paper size. If you are using A4-sized paper, pleaseclose this template and download the file for A4 paper
format called “CPS_A4_format”.
B. Maintaining the Integrity of the Specifications
The template is used to format your paper and style thetext. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts
are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may note
peculiarities. For example, the head margin in this templatemeasures proportionately more than is customary. Thismeasurement and others are deliberate, using specifications
that anticipate your paper as one part of the entire
proceedings, and not as an independent document. Please do
not revise any of the current designations.
IV.

PREPARE YOUR PAPER BEFORE STYLING

Before you begin to format your paper, first write andsave the content as a separate text file. Keep your text andgraphic files separate until after the text has been formatted
and styled. Do not use hard tabs, and limit use of hard returns
to only one return at the end of a paragraph. Do not add any
kind of pagination anywhere in the paper. Do not number
text heads-the template will do that for you.
Finally, complete content and organizational editing
before formatting. Please take note of the following items
when proofreading spelling and grammar:
A. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they areused in the text, even after they have been defined in the
abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc,
and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviationsin the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.
B. Units• Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SIunits are encouraged.) English units may be used as
secondary units (in parentheses). An exception

•

would be the use of English units as identifiers intrade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive”.
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current
in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often
leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearlystate the units for each quantity that you use in an
equation.
Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations ofunits: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter”, not“webers/m2”. Spell out units when they appear in
text: “. . . a few henries”, not “. . . a few H”.
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25”, not “.25”.

C. Equations
The equations are an exception to the prescribed
specifications of this template. You will need to determine
whether or not your equation should be typed using either
the Times New Roman or the Symbol font (please no otherfont). To create multileveled equations, it may be necessary
to treat the equation as a graphic and insert it into the text
after your paper is styled.
Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers,
within parentheses, are to position flush right, as in (1), using
a right tab stop. To make your equations more compact, you
may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate
exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities andvariables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather thana hyphen for a minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas
or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in“alternately” (unless you really mean something thatalternates).
• Do not use the word “essentially” to mean
“approximately” or “effectively”.
• In your paper title, if the words “that uses” canaccurately replace the word “using”, capitalize the“u”; if not, keep using lower-cased.
• Be aware of the different meanings of thehomophones “affect” and “effect”, “complement”
and “compliment”, “discreet” and “discrete”,“principal” and “principle”.
• Do not confuse “imply” and “infer”.
• The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to
the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen.
• There is no period after the “et” in the Latin
abbreviation “et al.”.
• The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is”, and theabbreviation “e.g.” means “for example”.
An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].

USING THE TEMPLATE

After the text edit has been completed, the paper is readyfor the template. Duplicate the template file by using theSave As command, and use the naming convention
prescribed by your conference for the name of your paper. In
this newly created file, highlight all of the contents andimport your prepared text file. You are now ready to style
your paper.

A. Authors and Affiliations
The template is designed so that author affiliations are

cursor up to highlight all of the above author and affiliationlines. Go to Format > Columns and select “2 Columns”. If
you have an odd number of affiliations, the final affiliation
will be centered on the page; all previous will be in twocolumns.
B. Identify the Headings
Headings, or heads, are organizational devices that guidethe reader through your paper. There are two types:
component heads and text heads.
Component heads identify the different components ofyour paper and are not topically subordinate to each other.
Examples include Acknowledgments and References and,for these, the correct style to use is “Heading 5”. Use “figure
caption” for your Figure captions, and “table head” for yourtable title. Run-in heads, such as “Abstract”, will require you
to apply a style (in this case, italic) in addition to the styleprovided by the drop down menu to differentiate the headfrom the text.
Text heads organize the topics on a relational,
hierarchical basis. For example, the paper title is the primarytext head because all subsequent material relates andelaborates on this one topic. If there are two or more subtopics, the next level head (uppercase Roman numerals)
should be used and, conversely, if there are not at least two
sub-topics, then no subheads should be introduced. Styles
named “Heading 1”, “Heading 2”, “Heading 3”, and“Heading 4” are prescribed.
C. Figures and Tables
1) Positioning Figures and Tables: Place figures andtables at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing themin the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span
across both columns. Figure captions should be below thefigures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert
figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use theabbreviation “Fig. 1”, even at the beginning of a sentence.

We suggest that you use a text box to insert a graphic(ideally 300 dpi), with all fonts embedded) because, in an
MSW document, this method is somewhat more stable thandirectly inserting a picture.
To have non-visible rules on your frame, use the
MSWord pull-down menu, select Format > Borders andShading > Select “None”.

Please see last page of this document for AN EXAMPLE
of a 2-COLUMN Figure.
Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figurelabels. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations whenwriting Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As
an example, write the quantity “Magnetization”, or“Magnetization, M”, not just “M”. If including units in thelabel, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes
only with units. In the example, write “Magnetization(A/m)” or “Magnetization {A[m(1)]}”, not just “A/m”. Do
not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For
example, write “Temperature (K)”, not “Temperature/K”.
D. Footnotes
Use footnotes sparingly (or not at all) and place them atthe bottom of the column on the page on which they arereferenced. Use Times 8-point type, single-spaced. To help
your readers, avoid using footnotes altogether and include
necessary peripheral observations in the text (withinparentheses, if you prefer, as in this sentence).

COPYRIGHT FORMS AND REPRINT ORDERS

You must submit the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form
(ECF) per Step 7 of the CPS author kit’s web page. THISFORM MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO PUBLISH
YOUR PAPER.
Please see Step 9 for ordering reprints of your paper.
Reprints may be ordered using the form provided as<reprint.doc> or <reprint.pdf>.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” inAmerica is without an “e” after the “g”. Avoid the stilted
expression, “One of us (R.B.G.) thanks . . .” Instead, try“R.B.G. thanks”. Put applicable sponsor acknowledgments
here; DO NOT place them on the first page of your paper or
as a footnote.
REFERENCES
List and number all bibliographical references in 9-point
Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper. Whenreferenced in the text, enclose the citation number in square
brackets, for example [1]. Where appropriate, include thename(s) of editors of referenced books. The template will
number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The
sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply tothe reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or“reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence:“Reference [3] was the first . . .”Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place theactual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it wascited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use lettersfor table footnotes.
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors’names; do not use “et al.”. Papers that have not been
published, even if they have been submitted for publication,

should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been
accepted for publication should be cited as “in press” [5].
Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for
proper nouns and element symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please givethe English citation first, followed by the original foreignlanguage citation [6].
