INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title

D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.

hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].

eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to

and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].

eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of

Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in

exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to

REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in

Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
A. Preparing Your Paper
1) Paper Size: Prepare your paper in full-size format on letter size paper (8.5 by 11 inches).
2) Type Sizes and Typefaces: Follow the font type sizes specified in Table I. The font type sizes are given in points, same
as in the MS Word font size points. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
3) Paper Margins: Paper margins on the letter size paper are set as follows: top = 1 inch, bottom = 1 inch, side = 1 inch.
Each column measures 3.5 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch gap between the two columns.
4) Paper Styles: Left- and right-justify the columns. On the last page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so
that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling and grammar. Use high resolution (300dpi or above)
figures, plots, drawings and photos for best printing result.

B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.

instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to

word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a

Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References

exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a

eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of

parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix

sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to

quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
A. Preparing Your Paper
1) Paper Size: Prepare your paper in full-size format on letter size paper (8.5 by 11 inches).
2) Type Sizes and Typefaces: Follow the font type sizes specified in Table I. The font type sizes are given in points, same
as in the MS Word font size points. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
3) Paper Margins: Paper margins on the letter size paper are set as follows: top = 1 inch, bottom = 1 inch, side = 1 inch.
Each column measures 3.5 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch gap between the two columns.
4) Paper Styles: Left- and right-justify the columns. On the last page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so
that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling and grammar. Use high resolution (300dpi or above)
figures, plots, drawings and photos for best printing result.
TABLE I
(TITLE:….)

footnotes, text subscripts, and
superscripts
3 Abstract, Index Terms xx xxx
Authors' affiliations, main text,
4 x xxx
equations, first letter in section titles
5 Authors' names xx xxx
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS

exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using

E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague

and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”

abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use

number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].

sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
A. Preparing Your Paper
1) Paper Size: Prepare your paper in full-size format on letter size paper (8.5 by 11 inches).
2) Type Sizes and Typefaces: Follow the font type sizes specified in Table I. The font type sizes are given in points, same
as in the MS Word font size points. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
3) Paper Margins: Paper margins on the letter size paper are set as follows: top = 1 inch, bottom = 1 inch, side = 1 inch.
Each column measures 3.5 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch gap between the two columns.
4) Paper Styles: Left- and right-justify the columns. On the last page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so
that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling and grammar. Use high resolution (300dpi or above)
figures, plots, drawings and photos for best printing result.

sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to

word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].

Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague

confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”

REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:

should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they

Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].

E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.

“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in

2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use

number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEI Convention Proceedings. For items not addressed in these
instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask your conference
Publications Chair for instructions.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference
number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or “Reference [3]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first …”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited.
Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal prefix
before the volume number.
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if they
have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication
should be cited as “in press” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions,
prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give the English citation, then the original foreign-language one [6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title
unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make
your equations more compact, you may use the solidus (/) and the exp function, etc. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use
parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in
eix cos x i sin x
exp( ix) / 2 (cos x i sin x) / 2 (1)
2 2
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Cite equations using
“(1),” not Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text:
“…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague
to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
UNITS
Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to
confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each
quantity that you use in an equation.
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The
word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
“essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect”
and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid the stilted expression,
“One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks …” Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered
footnote on the first page.

E. Other Recommendations
The Roman numerals used to number the section headings
are optional. Do not number ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
REFERENCES and begin Subheadings with letters. Use two
spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid
dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was calculated
Applied Field (103 A/m) using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use
Fig. 1 Magnetization as a function of applied field.
Note how the caption is centered in the column “cm3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square

Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the
actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was
cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters
for table footnotes (see Table I). IEI no longer use a journal
prefix before the volume number. UNITS
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors
or more [4]. Papers that have not been published, even if Use SI as primary units. English units may be used as
they have been submitted for publication, should be cited secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be
as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-
