FEATURE ARTICLE INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

• Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However, papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long as the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the appropriate limits. Papers presenting detailed contributions should rather be submitted to some other journal (e.g., IEEE Transactions).
• Articles may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy, and will be copyedited according to the magazine's style.
• Mathematical equations should not be used. In justified cases up to three simple equations could be allowed, provided you have the consent of the Guest Editor. The inclusion of more than three equations requires permission from the Editor-in-Chief.
• References should be included only to guide readers to more information on the topic; the reference list should not include every available souce. A limit of 15 references is recommended. The inclusion of more than 15 references requires permission from the Editor-in-Chief. References to Web pages should be checked immediately for accessibility before submitting material to the Production Staff.
• Articles should not exceed 4500 words.
• Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six.
