LaTeX/TeX Users
LaTeX users may format using the style file below
and convert to PDF for submission. Contact Wayne Blanding and Dave Williamson if you have questions
or problems. If you do not use the IEEEAerospace2010.cls file found here or if
you override the required paper formatting for the conference, your paper will
be rejected.
The IEEEAerospace2010.cls file has fixed the problem of not being able to put multiple author names/addresses across the page (columnwise). One problem noted from previous years remains—the template still does not support the use of the AMSmath package. Use of this package will result in unusual formatting errors and prevent the LaTeX from successfully compiling. We are still working on a solution to this issue.
***If you use LaTeX, you MUST use the .cls file approved for these proceedings***
Links to two zipped files are located below. Template.zip contains the 2010 Aerospace Conference .cls file approved for use, as well as Starter.tex file that will start you out—use this as a base for writing your paper in LaTeX. Next is Example.zip which provides the LaTeX and .pdf files of an example paper—this illustrates the “look and feel” of a properly formatted paper.
The text in PostScript files that are produced by DVIPS can look awful when converted to PDF and viewed on a computer monitor with Acrobat Reader. The reason is that the PostScript output file may contain Computer Modern Roman fonts that are bit-mapped, instead of "scalable" Type 1 PostScript fonts. The printer output is of high quality, but Acrobat doesn't handle them very well for viewing on a monitor. As an aside, this problem is diminishing with recent versions of Acrobat Reader.
There is a simple way to incorporate Type 1 PostScript fonts in PDF files produced from LaTeX output. The solution involves using the appropriate option in DVIPS, "-P pdf".
This option refers to the printer configuration file. The file that specifies the default properties of the PostScript code produced by DVIPS is named config.ps in MS Windows. If the "P" or "j" options are set there, this option may not need to be set when running DVIPS. It seems that this default is becoming more prevalent.
If the above simple method doesn't work on your system, you can look at (http://www.math.hawaii.edu/~ralph/MathOnWeb/TeXPDF.html) for detailed advice on how to incorporate Type 1 PostScript fonts into the PostScript or PDF files generated from LaTeX DVI files.
