We will add appropriate page numbers to accepted papers when the conference proceedings are assembled. \item All material must fit in a $176\times240\,$mm ($6.93\times 9.45\,$inch) area with a left margin of 17\,mm (0.67\,inch) and a top margin of 25\,mm (1\,inch). On the first page, the top margin has to be 32\,mm (1.26\,inch). \item All text must appear in two columns with a column spacing of 6\,mm (0.24\,inch). Figures and tables may span the two columns if necessary. \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsection{Style}\label{style} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{itemize} \item All text must be single spaced. \item The recommended font size is 10 point (default with eusipco.sty). The font size must be at least 9 point (capital letters at least 2mm high) and at most 11 point. With {\tt newcom-acorn.sty}, 9 point font size can be selected via the option {\tt ninepoint} (cf.\ the header in the {\LaTeX} code of this template). \item The recommended font is Times Roman or Times New Roman (this is the {\tt newcom-acorn.sty} default). \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsubsection{Title Area} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{itemize} \item The paper title is to appear in boldface capital letters, centered across the top of the two columns on the first page. The recommended font size for the paper title is 13 point. \item The name(s) of the author(s) should appear below the title in italic letters, followed by the affiliation(s), address(es), and email address(es). \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsubsection{Abstract} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{itemize} \item The paper abstract appears below the title area on the first page as the first item on the left-hand column. \item Allow 11\,mm (0.43\,inch) vertical space between title area and abstract. \item The abstract should not contain more than 150 words. \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsubsection{Headings} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{itemize} \item Major headings should be numbered and appear in boldface capital letters, centered within the respective column. \item Subheadings should be numbered, left aligned in the respective column, and in boldface letters. \item Sub-subheadings---if they cannot be avoided---should be left aligned in the respective column and in italic letters;they may be numbered. \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsubsection{Equations} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Equations should be centered within the respective column, {\it e.g.}, \begin{equation} \label{cc} C \,=\, \frac{1}{2} \log_2 \!\left( 1 + \frac{P}{\sigma^2} \right) . \end{equation} We recommend labeling only those equations that are referenced in the paper. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsubsection{Figures and Tables} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{itemize} \item All figures and tables must be referred to in the paper. They must be numbered and have captions. \item Figures and tables should be placed at the top of the respective page if possible. ``Wide'' figures and tables may span the two columns. \item For acceptable resolution and easy PS\,$\to$\,PDF conversion, we recommend to use Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format for vector graphics and Tagged Image File (TIF) format for pixel graphics.
