Manuscript Preparation
Manuscript Layout and Templates
NOTE:
Manuscripts that do not conform to the formatting guidelines below (PDF format, 9-page limit for regular papers and 6-page limit for workshops, margins, font size, embedded fonts etc.) will be removed from further consideration without review.
Manuscript submissions should be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) only. The page limit is 9 pages for regular papers and 6 pages for workshops. Font size should be no smaller than 10 points.
The three most important elements of manuscript layouts are:
1. Margins:
these must be strictly followed. Manuscripts cannot be accepted for review until proper margins are used.
| US Letter | A4 | |
| Top Margin | 0.75 inch | 19 mm |
| Bottom Margin | 1 inch | 43 mm |
| Side Margins | 0.625 inch | 13 mm |
When you upload your PDF, EDAS should report
the margins are no less than 0.625x0.625x1x0.75 with a text region
no more than 7.25 inches x 9.25 inches on a standard US Letter
document (8.5 inches x 11 inches). The minimum line spacing should
be 11pt. Of course, your margins and line spacing can be larger than
this. If you have problems setting the individual margins, please
set 1 inch margins all around.

Additions to IEEEtran template to achieve this are provided below. Please include these statements at the top of your LaTeX file
\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
%% INFOCOM 2014 addition:
\makeatletter
\def\ps@headings{%
\def\@oddhead{\mbox{}\scriptsize\rightmark \hfil \thepage}%
\def\@evenhead{\scriptsize\thepage \hfil \leftmark\mbox{}}%
\def\@oddfoot{}%
\def\@evenfoot{}}
\makeatother
\pagestyle{headings}
You are free to use good judgment in the presentation of
your information. These guidelines are meant only as helpful tools.
However, basic adherence to layout specifications is expected.

Note: new LaTeX templates IEEEtran LaTeX Class (template) V1.8 packages and IEEEtran V1.12 BibTeX (bibliography) packages. Be sure to use the template's conference mode. See template documentation for details.
To create a PDF file on different platforms, please see the PDF Generation Instructions page (Courtesy: NSF Fastlane). To avoid printing problems due to missing fonts, please use Postscript Type 1 fonts and embed these fonts in the PDF file.
This page borrows heavily from the IEEE Conference eXpress instructions page to authors for camera-ready submissions. However, the changes made to the templates for the manuscripts submitted for review are unique to INFOCOM 2014.
