#our goal is to simulate t$e usual appearance of papers in an
IEEE conference proceedings. For items not addressed in t$ese
instructions% please refer to t$e last issue of your conference&s
proceedings or your Publications c$air.

Position figures and tables at t$e tops and bottoms of
columns. -6oid placing t$em in t$e middle of columns. <arge
figures and tables may span across bot$ columns. Figure
captions s$ould be centered below t$e figuresD table captions
s$ould be centered abo6e. -6oid placing figures and tables
before t$eir first mention in t$e teBt. "se t$e abbre6iation

3Aagneti'ation% A%5 not 4ust 3A.5 Put units in parent$eses.
!o not label aBes only wit$ units. In t$e eBample% write

label aBes wit$ a ratio of =uantities and units. For eBample%

". References
Number citations consecuti6ely in s=uare brac>ets H+I.
Punctuation follows t$e brac>et H:I. Refer simply to t$e
reference number% as in H1I. "se 3Ref. H1I5 or Reference H1I5 at

abbre6iated. T$ere is a period after t$e figure number% followed by two
spaces. It is good practice to eBplain t$e significance of t$e figure in t$e
caption.
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place t$e
actual footnote at t$e bottom of t$e column in w$ic$ it was
cited. !o not put footnotes in t$e reference list. "se letters for
table footnotes (see Table I,. Ki6e all aut$ors& namesD use 3et
al.5 if t$ere are siB aut$ors or more. Papers t$at $a6e not been
publis$ed% e6en if t$ey $a6e been submitted for publication%
s$ould be cited as 3unpublis$ed5 H.I. Papers t$at $a6e been
accepted for publication s$ould be cited as 3in press5 H2I. In a
paper title% capitali'e t$e first word and all ot$er words eBcept
for con4unctions% prepositions less t$an se6en letters% and
prepositional p$rases.
