(Version 1.0) Update Oct 8
Paper format
Format you paper in the IEEE CS conference paper format (unless previously approved, say, for extending my paper that is already in another format)(template from IEEE)(example paper), though you may use the APA citation style for convenience (example paper). Note: double column is not necessary for easy working.
For diagrams, please use packages that output vector graphics to word instead of bit map, e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint that are common. Either embed the source diagram in the Word file (e.g., Visio) or submit all separate source diagram files (like Rational Rose models) in a zip file.
Make sure you include enough related work survey and citation in your writing.
Although you may discuss with your classmates, you should be the only author of the paper and write in such tone and settings (unless you are extending my paper, but of course I will not write with you for the course - you are just using the existing papers to work on).
Structure and present your paper according to the lecture notes on how to write a good IT paper.
Include your name, student number, and email address (best include one that can reach you after your graduation, like gmail) - best also with your phone number.
Include adequate reference list and citation in your paper (though you can include those cited in my papers where appropriate) - you are suggested to start including that in you paper outline so that I can help you early. Highlight the main related work so that I can give you more hints to beat them!
There are no page limit but unclear presentation affects the quality of your paper, but typical good papers are around 10 pages in IEEE format excluding appendix.
