Latex IEEETran Class

Writting an article for ISCAS, I found the IEEETran Latex Class: the official class for authors of the IEEE transactions journals and conferences, which may be incredibly useful if you plan to submit any paper to IEEE. Find the basis to use this class for Conference papers below:

1. Download and install the latex IEETran class at CTAN.

2. Read the IEEEtran_HOWTO included in the package.

3. Define your document class as: \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}.
  • Text size may not be 10pt in your case (size can vary from 9pt of technotes to 12pt of Computer Society papers).
  • There are 5 majour modes: conference, journal, technote and peer review.

4. In Conference Mode, define the author as:
       \author{
            \IEEEAuthorBlockN{Author Name}
            \IEEEAuthorBlockA{School of Electrical and Telecom Engineering\\
            Technical University of Catalunya\\
            Barcelona, Spain\\
            Email: authoremail@upc.edu}
      }

And don't forget to use \and to separate the affiliation columns!

5. Citations and figures :
  •  Use \cite and \begin{figure} commands as usual. In conference papers, use \figurename, which displays the full "Figure: name".

6. Bibliography:
  • Download IEEETran bib style package at CTAN.
          \bibliographystyle{IEEETran}
          \bibliography{IEEEabrv,mybibfile}

That's all, folks!
