Instructions on preparing your paper
In general, you should use the same style you used for generating the
version submitted for review only the font size in the proceedings is 10
points (instead of 11).
Published Infocom papers can be up to 10 pages long. There are
no overlength charges and additional pages cannot be bought.
Papers must be formatted according to the IEEE standard double-column
format using 10pt fonts.
Please take care in the following:
 | Use type 1 fonts.
| The margins of the manuscript should be as follows:
for US letter - top = 0.5 inches, bottom = 0.75 inches, side = 0.625
inches
for A4 - top = 13 mm, bottom = 37 mm, side = 13 mm
| Do not include keywords.
| Do not add header and page numbers. (To get pages without headings
or page numbers just issue: \thispagestyle{empty} \pagestyle{empty}
after \maketitle). |
| | |
To make it easy to adhere to the formatting standard we offer
instructions, templates and samples for Latex, MSWord,
and FrameMaker . General rules and hints are
below. An example of
how the finished paper should look like might help.
Please read the detailed instructions that follow before you begin,
taking particular note of preferred fonts, formats, and delivery options.
The quality of the finished product is largely dependent upon receiving
your help at this stage of the publication process. Before you're done you
might want to re-examine our check list
Acceptable Formats
Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF) or
PostScript, as described for each word processor formats and the general
hints below. VERY IMPORTANT: ALL FONTS MUST BE EMBEDDED (see Fonts).
If you are unable to submit your paper in PDF or PS electronic formats,
or if we encounter problems converting your electronic submission, your
paper will be scanned and converted to PDF. Although a scanned paper looks
identical to the original when printed, it is slower and more difficult to
view on screen. If you do plan to deliver your paper by hard copy, avoid
typefaces smaller than 11 points.
Generating PostScript and PDF Files
The submission of your document as a PDF file is the preferred method.
PDF files are more likely than others to preserve your intended layout. Important:
When creating a PDF, do not password-protect it. We need access
to add page numbers and copyright footers, and to embed the Document
Information fields for searching.
Almost all applications/systems can produce a suitable PostScript file,
which can then be converted to PDF. PostScript files may be generated in a
wide variety of ways. In all cases, the quality of your PostScript file
will have a direct impact on the quality of the converted file. A high
quality PostScript file is one that reliably produces pages with the
desired look, as efficiently as possible.
Please review the following suggestions for producing your PostScript
file. This will ensure that when you convert it to PDF it is usable and
presented in the manner you wish.
| You must embed all fonts in the PostScript file, including
the base fonts. If using a Windows system, select the "Use
Printer Fonts for all TrueType Fonts" option in the
"Advanced Options" dialog box for the PostScript printer
driver.
| Embed all images and figures.
| Make sure that your submitted paper prints correctly to a PostScript
printer. Files that cannot be printed, or print with errors, usually
cannot be properly converted. Select the following printer for
PostScript output:
| Windows 3.1, 3.11
| PostScript Printer driver
| Windows '95, 98 or 2000
| AdobePS 4.3.1 (available from www.adobe.com)
OR any Linotronic printer driver
| Windows NT
| any Linotronic printer driver
| Mac OS
| LaserWriter 8.x driver
| OS/2
| any Apple LaserWriter with PostScript driver
|
| | | |
| Always use the latest version of your PostScript driver and select
PostScript Level 2 if available.
| If you design your document using color, select a color PostScript
printer driver to create your PostScript file. Note that many
applications create color data only when printing to a color printer
and will create a grayscale document unless a color PostScript printer
is selected.
| Do not use custom halftones (photographs) and pattern fills. (Fill
Patterns in Lotus Freelance do not convert to PDF. White solid fill is
substituted.) Instead use solid-color or grayscale fills to produce a
more readable document on-screen that will also load and print
significantly faster. This is especially important for charts and
graphs.
| Do not select "Smooth Graphics". This option often
produces extremely large files that will take a long time to display
and print. The Smooth Graphics option is usually found in the Page
Setup Dialog box in Macintosh applications and some Windows
applications. |

The following fonts are considered base fonts in Acrobat 4.0, and you
are encouraged to limit your font selections to this list. Although these
fonts are automatically installed with Acrobat Reader 4.0, you MUST still
embed these fonts (and all others) to ensure that your paper can be viewed
and printed correctly from any system. Please note that Times New Roman is
the preferred font.
| AdobeSanMM
| AdobeSerMM
| Arial MT
| Arial MT, Italic
| Arial MT, Bold
| Arial MT, Bold Italic
| Courier
| Courier, Italic
| Courier, Bold
| Courier, Bold Italic
| Symbol
| Times New Roman PS MT
| Times New Roman PS MT, Italic
| Times New Roman PS MT, Bold
| Times New Roman PS MT, Bold Italic
| ZapfDingbats |

Using these fonts will reduce the size of your converted paper as well
as speed up the display and printing of your paper for the readers.
Additionally using only the specified fonts provides a consistent look
across to all material on the publication.
If you decide to use fonts other than "base fonts" you must
submit your paper as a PostScript or PDF file with embedded fonts. The
embedded fonts will be preserved during the conversion process. A font
group should never be subsetted!
Including Graphics/Images
All images must be embedded in your document.
The type of graphics you include will affect the quality and size of
your paper on the electronic document disc. In general, the use of vector
graphics such as those produced by most presentation and drawing packages
can be used without concern and is encouraged.
The use of bitmapped images such as those produced when a photograph is
scanned require significant storage space and must be used with care.
Bitmap graphics store an image as a series of numbers that represent the
color of each dot in the image. Increasing the size, resolution (dots per
inch), or number of colors in an image will dramatically increase the size
of the image.
If your paper contains many large images they will be down-sampled to
reduce their size during the conversion process. However the automated
process used will not always produce the best image, and you are
encouraged to perform this yourself on an image by image basis.
Suggestions for improving the quality bitmap graphics include:
| In general, bitmapped images should be limited to no more than 256
(8 bit) color/gray scale, 150 dots per inch, and should be kept as
small as possible.
| Reduce the number of display colors before making screen shots. The
majority of computer applications use less than 16 colors for their
menus, dialogs etc.
| Select higher resolutions only for images that a reader will
magnify. Image resolution of bitmapped images does not increase when
readers zoom in on an image. |
| |
Converting PostScript to PDF
When converting PS to PDF please pay attention to the following points:
| Embed all the fonts in the document.
| Use the same paper size you used in the converted PostScript file in
the created PDF file.
| Use ImageResolution of 144, rendering bitmaps at 72 dpi (like when
you select the "Screen Optimized" option) is not sufficient
for good printing. |
| |
It is better to submit a good PostScript file than a poor PDF file, so
make sure you understand the above before converting your PostScript.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q. What if I need to send a new version?
- A. Use the same FTP instructions; the new file will overwrite the
old. However, you have to wait until you have received email
confirmation for the first file before being able to overwrite the new
one.
Delivery of Electronic Documents and Hard Copies
You should submit your paper electronically via FTP to ftp://infocom.ucsd.edu/incoming/
using the file name N-M.pdf or N-M.ps, where N-M is the numeric identifier
for their paper, such as 123-456789.pdf. Authors will receive email
confirming receipt of the paper. (This is the same procedure authors used
to submit their manuscript.)
In addition, you need to send by mail to the IEEE the following
items:
- Two camera-ready paper copies of the submission;
- A copyright form (PDF).
Other formats are available at http://www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/cfrmlink.htm.
