GENERAL INFORMATION
In
order to submit your manuscript for consideration as a contribution
to the Special Symposium Issue of the Transactions, the following
requirements, instructions and schedule must be strictly adhered
to. Again, this year you are requested to submit
your manuscript electronically over the Web.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT IS APRIL 17, 2003.
No Manuscripts will be accepted
after the deadline. Authors
who have problems or questions on the Paper submittal process
should contact the Guest Editor (see contact information below)
well in advance of April 17, 2003.
Electronic / Web Submission Overview
You
must prepare your manuscript using MS/Word 6.0/97 or later,
postscript, or PDF format.
Any photos must be in black and white and imbedded
in the file.
As
a part of submitting your paper, you must complete all bold
items on the "Submission
Form" on this Web site; this form requests the information
required for preparing the manuscript for IEEE publication.
General
Rules / Information about your Manuscript
Although all manuscripts will be reviewed according to standard
TRANSACTION'S policies, publication in the Special November
Issue imposes a rigid schedule on the submission and review
process to meet all deadlines. In particular, the compressed
review schedule does not allow for any manuscript revision,
except for possible formatting or very minor corrections.
Moreover, the total number of papers to appear in the November
Issue is 7, which has been set by the Editor-in-Chief for
MTT Transactions. This
limitation will result in a smaller fraction of the accepted
papers being published by November of 2003.
Since
your Digest paper is an archival publication, your Special
Issue paper must therefore be significantly
expanded in substantive content compared to the Digest
version. Particularly, IEEE publication guidelines imply
that only up to 1/3 of your published Digest paper could be
used for your Special Issue paper. The addition of explanatory
details or simple extensions of parameter values and/or figures
are not considered substantive. (A good figure of merit is
that only one page out of four pages of text, figures, and
data from your Digest paper could be repeated in the Special
Issue paper.) An indication of the old material (e.g. change bars, etc.) shall
be provided.
1.
All manuscripts
must contain complete information for final publication, including
a listing of all authors and their affiliations. Detailed contact information for the corresponding author and e-mail
addresses will be requested during the electronic submission
process. The text
in your manuscript should be in single column, double-spaced
format on 8 1/2 x 11 inch pages with figures placed at the
end. The title of
the paper should appear in CAPITAL LETTERS centered across
the top of the first page of the paper.
It is recommended that the text be in 12 point Times
Roman or a similar typeface.
2.
The List of
Authors and their affiliations must be provided immediately
following the Title.
3.
A list of key
words is available from the IEEE web site
and must be provided immediately following the Authors List.
4.
A brief Abstract
of the paper must be located immediately following the List
of key words.
5.
New copyright approval forms must be obtained as indicated
on the Copyright
Form. US Government
Authors and British Crown Authors are exempted.
The new copyright form must contain the paper ID (session/slot)
and be mailed to LRW Associates.
Also, the copyright approval box must be checked on
the Submission Form.

An estimate of the printed page count must
be obtained (4 double-spaced typewritten pages = 1 printed
Transactions page; 4 individual figures or tables = 1 printed
Transactions page).
8.
A Page Charge Authorization
Form must be completed using the estimate of the printed
page count, and submitted to LRW
Associates.
