Abstract
These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers and 2-page abstracts for IEEE conferences. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. Please use this document as a “template” to prepare your manuscript. For submission guidelines, follow instructions on the paper submission system as well as the Conference website. The abstract paper should be a summary of your work (including abstract, short introduction and some results). Since the abstract is limited to 2 pages, you may include the most important result in the paper abstract. The abstract can then serve as the template for your paper.
Introduction
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEEE conference proceedings. For items not addressed in these instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask the conference Publications Chair for instructions.
Some Common Mistakes
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word “essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “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 the abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” And finally, use “it is” rather than the contraction “it’s,” and note that “its” is the possessive form. An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
