Submission Instructions
Please note that the hard deadline for receipt of the
final manuscript is August 15th 2005.
You have to submit your camera ready version electronically via our web site
and fax to us a signed
IEEE copyright form
before that date.
Please understand that we now consider you/your co-authors
committed to pre-register at the workshop by August 25th at the latest
and to present the paper at the workshop.
By failing doing so and/or failing to send a signed copyright form on time will imply
your paper not to be considered for inclusion in the final proceedings of the workshop.
Authors not available during the complete period of time between
August 5th until August 29th (i.e., due to vacation period, etc.)
are requested to designate a contact person as soon as possible!

Please do not number the pages.
In many cases the page size, top and bottom margines and/or the existence
of page numbers is not respected and we ask the author to resubmit the file
within 24 hours. Failing doing so may your paper not included in the final proceedings.
Additional requirements:
All text must be in a two-column format.

| Type styles and fonts: |
Please use Times or Times Roman.
It is very important that you use standard Adobe Type
1 fonts. Fonts must be from Latin 1 Fontset .
Even
though other fonts will look fine over a PostScript viewer, when the files are distilled into PDF files,
non-Adobe fonts are extremely difficult to read on the screen.
As from 2005 IEEE also
requires IEEEXplore¢ç complaint PDF¢¥s.
Please refer to page 1 of
the IEEE recommendations for generating IEEEXplore compatible PDF files
and page 2 on how to check the fonts of your PDF using Acrobat Reader.
Adobe Acrobat users can check for font embedding and subsetting by following the steps indicated
in that document.
Failure to embed and subset fonts is the biggest obstacle to PDF compliance with IEEE Xplore¢ç.
In many cases the document includes Fontsets from other languages and which
are not processed by the IEEE distiller and we ask the author to resubmit the
file within 24 hours. Failing doing so may your paper not included in the final proceedings.
Important! LaTex users - LaTex files are particularly problematic and when converted to PDF are almost
unreadable on the screen. This is because the default fonts are transformed to bitmapped fonts when the PostScript
file is made into PDF. A solution to this problem is to utilize the Times Roman PostScript font when formatting
their documents. This can be achieved easily by specifying Times font at the documentstyle command:
\documentstyle[times]{article}
Although the mathematics fonts used by LaTeX are not Type 1 fonts, the appearance of the document
can improve tremendously if the above command is used in the TeX document.
If the author uses LaTeX2e package, it is even possible to use Type 1 fonts for
mathematical symbols. You need to have the package mathptm. If you are using LaTeX2e,
use the macro:
\usepackage{mathptm}

| Detailed Recommendations (optional): |
Main title
Center the title 1-3/8 inches (3.49 cm) from the top edge
of the first page.
The title should be in Times
14-point, boldface type.
Abstract
Should be in two column format in fully-justified italicized text, at the top of the left-hand column,
below the author and affiliation information. Use the word "Abstract" as the title, in 12-point Times, boldface
type, centered relative to the column, initially capitalized. The abstract is to be in 10-point, single-spaced type.
Text body
Should be in a two-column format in 10-point Times, single-spaced. Do not use double-spacing. Figure and
table captions should be also 10-point boldface type.
Headings
First order (e.g., 1. Introduction): should be Times 12-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush
left, with one blank line before, and one blank line after.
Second order (e.g., 1.1. Database elements): should be Times 11-point boldface, initially capitalized,
flush left, with one blank line before, and one after.
Third order: we discourage a third-order heading, if you require it please use 10-point Times,
boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, preceded by one blank line, followed by a period and your
text on the same line.
