\section{General Information}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The purpose of the instructions collected in this manuscript is to
specify the format and style of admissible EUSIPCO 2008 papers and
to facilitate paper submission and review. First of all, here is
some general information about the paper preparation, submission,
and review process.

\begin{itemize}

\item Papers submitted to EUSIPCO-2009 must describe original, unpublished
work. The papers must contain a complete description of the ideas presented
and applicable research results

\item Papers must conform to the format and style specified in Section 2. The
deadline for the submission of full papers is February 6, 2009. The
maximum paper length including figures and references is five (5)
pages.

\item Based on comments from the reviewers, it will be possible to make
changes to your paper before it is submitted in its final,
camera-ready form on May 29, 2009.

\item All submitted papers that conform to the style instructions specified in
Section 2 will be reviewed by anonymous reviewers, selected by the conference
committee for their demonstrated knowledge of particular topics. The review
process will be carried online and the results of the reviewing will be posted
on this website, and authors will also be notified of the review results by email.

\item Accepted papers will be published in the EUSIPCO 2009 Proceedings (distributed on CD-ROMs and accessible on the EURASIP web site).

\item Several best paper awards will be presented to authors with
student status. The student author's name must appear first on the
paper.

registration site will be opened in due time)

\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Paper Format and Style}\label{paper_format_style}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In case of acceptance of your paper, the electronic paper version
(PDF  file) submitted by you will be directly reproduced in the
EUSIPCO 2009 Proceedings. Your strict adherence to the format and
style specifications described in this section is required to
maintain uniformity of appearance throughout the Proceedings.

\subsection{Format}\label{format}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{itemize}

\item The maximum paper length including figures and references is five (5) pages.

\item Do not put page numbers on your document. 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 ($6.93\times9.45\,$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 eusipco.sty, 9 point font size can be selected via the
option \texttt{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
eusipco.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}

\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, 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. \textquotedblleft Wide\textquotedblright\ figures and tables may
span the two columns.

\end{itemize}


\subsubsection{References}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{itemize}

\item References are numbered either in order of appearance in the paper or in
alphabetical order.

\item They are referred to by the respective reference number enclosed by
square brackets (e.g., \cite{ref1,ref3}).

\item When using bibtex, styles such as abbrv.bst are recommended. 

\end{itemize}


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Paper Submission}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Papers must be submitted through the EUSIPCO 2009 submission site at
{http://www.eusipco2009.org}. When entering the electronic
submission system for the first time, you will have to
\textquotedblleft sign up\textquotedblright\ to get a user ID and
password.

\begin{itemize}

\item \textbf{Accepted file format is PDF only}.

\item All fonts used must be embedded in the PDF  file. However, Asian fonts
must not be used nor embedded. Documents that do not print correctly on a
PostScript printer cannot be accepted. (When printing the PDF file, make sure
that the \textquotedblleft shrink to fit\textquotedblright\ box is not checked!)

\end{itemize}

In addition to uploading their paper, authors are required to provide the
following information (ASCII text) via the submission web site:

\begin{itemize}

\item Paper title,

\item Affiliations, email addresses, and mailing addresses for each author,

\item Text file containing paper abstract text, in ASCII text format (for
copying and pasting into web page form) (no more than 150 words), and

\item Two topic areas for the paper.

\end{itemize}

After you submit the information on the paper title, abstract text,
review category, and author contact information, the system will
display a page (registering paper) with the data that you entered so
that you may verify its accuracy. If you need to change the data to
fix a mistake, you may use the back button on your browser to return
to the information entry form. After approval of your data, you may
choose your document file for upload at the bottom
(\textquotedblleft upload\textquotedblright\ string) of the
\textquotedblleft registering\textquotedblright\ page. Your browser
will upload your file to the EUSIPCO 2009 server. At the end of a
successful upload, you will see a confirmation page displaying the
paper number that is assigned to you, the dimension of the paper and
the uploading date. An e-mail message will be sent to the authors'
email addresses to confirm that the file has indeed been registered
and up-loaded. 
%If you do not see the confirmation page or the e-mail
%after uploading your file, we may not have successfully received
%your file upload. If you encounter trouble, contact the paper
%submission support at: help@edas-help.com.



%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{ Review Process}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A committee of reviewers selected by the conference Technical Program
Committee (TPC) will review the submitted papers and rate them according to
quality, relevance, and correctness. The conference TPC will use these reviews
to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation in the conference,
and in which form (oral/poster). The result of the technical committee's
decision will be communicated to the submitting authors by email, along with
any reviewer comments (if any).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{ Register for the conference}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Be sure that at least one author registers to attend the conference
using the online registration system available through the
conference website: http://www.eusipco2009.org/. A \textbf{full}
registration by (at least) one of the paper (co)authors is required
for each accepted paper. The payment must be received by the
deadline of the author registration (May 29th, 2009). Papers that
have not been associated with a full registration by one of the
paper (co)authors will not be published in the EUSIPCO 2009
proceedings. If you are an author, you may associate with your
(full) registration no more than three papers of which you are
(co)author.
