pages, including all figures, tables and references.
Camera ready workshop papers should also use the IEEE two column, 10 font size
template and follow the page length requirements as specified by the chairs of the
workshop.
STEP 2: Generate your PDF file using IEEE PDF eXpressTM
IMPORTANT: Please do not include any page number, EDAS number, or the
conference name in the PDF file. Also, no no headers/footers and make sure each
page has a a non-zero PDF top and bottom margins (typically, at least 0.5 inches).
IMPORTANT: Papers must be submitted in Adobe's Portable Document Format
(PDF) format. The PDF files must pass the compatibility test at IEEE PDF eXpress TM.
Otherwise, your paper may not appear in the IEEE Xplore if it fails the compatible
test.
IEEE PDF eXpressTM allows you to convert your Word, LaTeX, or range of other
source files into IEEE XploreTM compatible files (preferred option). Alternatively you
can use PDF eXpress to check your own pdf files for compatibility.
