 IEEE Xplore® Compliance

• PDF Compatibility: PDF version 1.3 (Acrobat 4) (assures that Acrobat Readers 4, 5 and 6 will be able to open the document)
• Optimize PDF: Yes (this allows faster viewing of the first page of the file on the web)
• Print Resolution: 600 dpi (better print output)
• Color/Grayscale Images: Bicubic Downsampling at 300dpi (create/scan color images at 300dpi or higher)
• Compression for Color Images: JPEG/Medium Quality (ensures that the loss of quality due to compression is not excessive)
• Monochrome Images: Bicubic Downsampling at 600dpi (same quality as printed text)
• Compression for Monochrome Images: CCITT Group 4 (to keep the PDF file size reasonable)
• Compress Text and Line Art: Yes (to keep the PDF file size reasonable)
• Subset all Font if less than 100% of the Font is used. Otherwise, embed the entire Font (this ensures that all readers see the exact same document)
• Base 14 Fonts: Subset Adobe Base 14 fonts (e.g. Times, Helvatica, etc) or their equivalent (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.)
• Security: All security settings must be turned off. NO passwords must be assigned
• Links and Bookmarks: The final PDF should NOT have any links or bookmarks
• Page numbers, footers or headers: The final PDF should NOT have any page numbers, footers or headers
• ALL fonts must be accurately included in the PDF file as an "Embedded Subset"
• Fonts that require non-English language support are not allowed
• After creating your PDF, make sure to use "File | Save As" rather than "Save" (this will ensure that the resulting PDF is more compact and ensure the integrity of the PDF file)
• The paper size for final submission must be US Letter (8.5 by 11) and NOT A4

Preparation of the Presentation

All WIFS'2010 papers will be presented in lecture format. To help authors prepare for presentations, the following suggestions have been created:

Presentation time: Presentation time is critical; each paper is allocated 20 minutes. We recommend that presentation of your slides should take about 17-18 minutes, leaving 2-3 minutes for introduction, summary, and questions from the audience. To achieve appropriate timing, organize your slides or viewgraphs around the points you intend to make, using no more than one slide per minute. A reasonable strategy is to allocate about 2 minutes per slide when there are equations or important key points to make, and one minute per slide when the content is less complex. Slides attract and hold attention, and reinforce what you say - provided you keep them simple and easy to read. Plan on covering at most 6 points per slide, covered by 6 to 12 spoken sentences and no more than about two spoken minutes.

Be prepared to begin your presentation as soon as the prior presenter has finished; it is important to keep on schedule. You should meet with your session chair during the break immediately prior to your session. Meet inside or near the door of the presentation room. If the room is not being used, this will give you a chance to test any presentation equipment you will be using. Copying your files to the computer before the session will also save you some time during your presentation.

Organization of the ideas: Make sure each of your key points is easy to explain with aid of the material on your slides. Do not read directly from the slide during your presentation. You should not need to prepare a written speech, although it is often a good idea to prepare the opening and closing sentences in advance. It is very important that you rehearse your presentation in front of an audience before you give your presentation at WIFS. Surrogate presenters must be sufficiently familiar with the material being presented to answer detailed questions from the audience. In addition, the surrogate presenter must contact the Session Chair in advance of the presenter's session.

Equipment provided: A computer-driven slideshow for use with a data projector is recommended for your talk at WIFS. All presentation rooms will be equipped with a computer, a data projector, a microphone (for large rooms), and a pointing device. If any other audio or video equipment is required, the presenter must contact the conference organization to see whether arrangements can be made or not.

Each computer will have a recent version of the Windows OS installed, a CD-ROM drive, as well as PowerPoint and Acrobat Reader software. Remember to embed all your fonts into your presentation, if you are using any special font or plug-in such as MathType.

Please, pay attention to the following critical points:

• There WILL NOT be an overhead projector in the rooms

• Make sure your presentation does not run into a problem on Windows platform, if you are a MAC or Linux user

• If you will be playing video or animated media, make sure it runs on Windows Media Player

• Embed all the fonts in your presentation

Keep in mind that the lecture halls is reasonably large. When preparing your slides, make sure that the entire audience will be able to see your presentation.

We're looking forawrd to see you in Kirkland, WA in December!!!
