Question. What are the margin requirements for manuscript submission?

Answer. It is strongly recommended that prospective authors download suitable style file for use with LaTeX and templates for use with MS Word.

Style files and templates provided here have been created to ensure that margin requirement is adequately met. Note that each conference has its own page setting requirements. Even if you recently downloaded the style file or template for a previous conference, it does not mean that it will meet requirement for the next conference. If, for some reason, you are not able to use provided templates or style files, please observe the following margins and font settings strictly.

Caution: Not adhering to appropriate margins and/or font settings may result in removal of paper from conference proceedings without warning.

Question. Is there is limit on number of pages in my manuscripts?

Answer. Once again, each conference sets its own page limit. This information appears on the conference website rather than here, please consult the conference home page for further information on page limits for this conference. Note that most conferences are placing restrictions on number of pages for initial submissions and you will not be able to upload the file if it exceeds this limit.

Question. Is there a size limit of memory size of the manuscript?

Answer. The conference recommends that authors try to keep the final version of their manuscript below 500 KB. This is to prevent the need of multiple CDs or DVD format for the proceedings. In exceptional cases larger files are acceptable. File larger than 2 MB cannot be uploaded through the manuscript submission system.

Question. Can I include audio/video clips in my submission?

Answer. Short answer is "Not at Present". Long answer: At the present time, IEEE requires the final conference proceedings to be provided in print version along with electronic version. Since the two versions must be identical in content, until IEEE stops requiring printed copies of the final, the uploaded files cannot contain audio/video clips. This policy will be revisited in the future.
