preparing camera-ready papers for conference proceedings.

I. INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in
an IEEE conference proceedings. For items not addressed in
these instructions, please refer to the last issue of your
conference’s proceedings or your Publications chair.
1. Full-Sized Camera-Ready (CR) Copy
Prepare your CR paper in full-size format, on US letter

spaces. It is good practice to explain the significance of the figure in the
size. Times New Roman is the preferred font. caption.
