Preparation of Abstract
Authors can follow the below mentioned guidelines to prepare the abstract or use the MS word (.doc) template provided here»
A. MANDATORY SECTIONS:
The following items are REQUIRED to be filled in properly and accurately by the authors on the abstract submission page, and also to be included in the abstract itself. The material / information entered on the submission page is used to produce the index for the book of abstracts and the metadata for IEEE Xplore:
- Title - Title Should be in 14 pt. Helvetica or Arial Bold
- Title of Your Submission Should be Initial Caps - Meaning that the First Letter of the Main Words Should be Capitalized.
- Authors' Complete Names - For each and all authors their full first name, middle initial (if any), and last names need to be included after the title of the abstract on the first page.
- Affiliation - EACH authors' affiliation, department (if any), affiliation location, state, country, and e-mail address should be included on the abstract pages.
- Abstract (Short Summary) - Please include a short summary (i.e. the abstract of your submitted abstract)on the first page at the top of the left-hand column.
- Body Text - The body text of your submission should be 10 pt. Times or Times New Roman, single spaced with an additional 4 to 6 points of space after each paragraph.
B. PAGE SIZE AND PAGE BREAKS: 2 Page Limit.
Submissions that do not conform to the IEEE standards, templates, and formats will be REJECTED. The page size for this IEEE publication is US letter (8.5" x 11"). Be sure that there are no bad page or column breaks--meaning no widow lines (last line of a paragraph at the top of a column). If this happens either tighten the previous column or force a line over. Section and sub-section heads should remain with at least 2 lines of body text when near the end of a page or column.
C. FIGURES OR IMAGES:
- Color: The printed book of abstracts will be produced in full color.
- Resolution: Figures/images should be at least 300 or 600 dpi for quality reproduction. Using a JPEG image as the source file for a figure is not recommended since JPEG images often have artifacts due to compression. If you must use a JPEG file, be sure it has a high quality setting and does not have obvious artifacts.
- Rules/Lines: For quality reproduction in your graphs, tables or charts, rules should be black and at least a 0.5 points thick (1 point = 1/72 inch). Finer lines than this will not reproduce well, even if you can see them on your laser printed hardcopy when checked -- keep in mind that your laser printers have a far lower resolution than the imagesetters that will be used.
- Fonts: If your figure uses any non-standard font, the characters may appear differently when printed in the book of abstracts. Remember to check your figure creation so that all fonts are embedded and/or included in the figure correctly.
- Transparencies: If a figure or image is assembled from multiple images, the images must be embedded with layers flattened or grouped together properly in the file, not lined. Transparencies should also be flattened.
Your final submission should not contain any footer or copyright information in the footer area, headers or page numbers. The papers will be paginated in an order determined by the IVEC technical committee, and page numbers will be added to the bottom of the pages upon finalization.
E. TEMPLATE FILES AND FINAL INSTRUCTIONS:
