Abstract
These instructions give you basic guidelines for preparing IEEE PEDES conference template. The word Abstract is in bold italics, but
the content of the abstract is in bold (without italics). The manuscript should not exceed 4 pages (i.e. 2 papers).

I. INTRODUCTION
This is IEEE Text style. Use it for all paragraphs that contain body text. This style matches the appearance of papers in an IEEE
conference proceedings but in double-spaced format and in a single column. For items not addressed in these instructions, please
refer to other documents on IEEE style.
Prepare your paper in full-size format (i.e., use this document as your template), on A4 paper. Follow the type sizes specified in
Table I. Times New Roman is the preferred font. Left- and right-justify your columns. Use automatic hyphenation and check
spelling. Paste all figures into the document appropriately.

Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms of pages, when possible. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns.
Figure captions should be centered below the figures; table captions should be centered above. Avoid placing figures and tables
before their first mention in the text. Use the abbreviation “Fig. 1,” even at the beginning of a sentence.
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Use words rather than symbols. For example, write “Magnetization,” or
“Magnetization, M,” not just “M.” Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write
“Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A m1).” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write
“Temperature (K),” not “Temperature/K.” Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write “Magnetization (kA/m)” or “Magnetization
(103 A/m).” Figure labels should be legible, about 10-point type.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. Punctuation follows the bracket [1]. Refer simply to the reference number,
as in [1]. Use “Ref. [1]” or Reference [1]” at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [1] was the first …”
Give all authors’ names; use “et al.” if there are six authors or more. Citation format should be as per the IEEE format. In a paper
title, capitalize the first word and all other words except for conjunctions, prepositions less than seven letters, and prepositional
phrases.
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 ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with
commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in
a + b = c. (1)
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Use “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or
“equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is …”
E. Other Recommendations
Do not number ACKNOWLEDGMENT and REFERENCES, and begin Subheadings with letters. 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/m 2.” Spell units when they appear in text: “…a few henries,” not “…a
few H.” Do not add page numbers.
III. UNITS
Usage of SI units is encouraged. 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.
IV. CONCLUSION
Avoid common mistakes. The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of vacuum0 is zero, not a
lowercase letter “o.” 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.”
