FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS FOR
FINAL MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS

* Only generated electronic PDF documents *
* NO SCANNED submissions will be accepted *

IASTED only accepts papers in electronic form in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf). Please remember to submit your paper formatted for letter size paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches, 216 mm by 279 mm), not A4 size paper (8.26 inches by 11.69 inches, 210 mm by 297 mm).

Only one paper of up to eight pages is included in the regular registration fee. There will be an added charge for extra pages and additional papers.

Microsoft Word Templates

If you are typing your paper using Microsoft Word, you can use the following template. Please convert your Word file to PDF before submitting.

TeX and LaTeX Templates

If you want to prepare your paper using TeX or LaTeX, please use the following TeX template and style file, and convert the final version of your paper to Postscript (.ps) or Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf) before submitting it.

Note: Please use the article class in your .tex file

A common problem is .ps or .pdf files produced in A4 format (210 mm by 297 mm) instead of letter format (8.5 inches by 11 inches), even with letterpaper specified at the start of the .tex file and using "dvips -t letter". It may be necessary to edit your config.ps file so that the letter size parameters are before the A4 parameters, and use latex, dvips, and then the Adobe Acrobat Distiller rather than using pdflatex to go directly from .tex to .pdf, or pdfwrite to go from .ps to .pdf.

TeX and LaTeX Files with Figures

The following files are the same as the ones above except that they show an example of an image file included in a TeX document.
