% \section{Introduction}
%
% The \iecnf{} class implements the formatting dictated by the \ICSP{}
% for conference proceedings. |IEEEconf.cls| replaces |latex8.sty| and
% is compatible with any \BibTeX{} style, not just |latex8.bst|. The
% goal was to produce a more faithful implementation of the formatting
% rules and to do so with cleaner \LaTeX{} code than that provided by
% the |latex8.*| files:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \iecnf{} is written as a class, which makes more sense than
% implementing it as a style file.
%
% \item \iecnf{} uses the \pkgname{titlesec} package to redefine
% |\section|, |\subsection|, and |\subsubsection| as dictated by the
% guidelines. \pkgname{latex8} requires that authors use
% |\Section|, which internally calls |\section| then backspaces to
% add the required period after the section number. Yuck! By using
% proper sectioning, \iecnf{} is compatible with the
% \pkgname{hyperref} package. (Examine the PDF bookmarks produced
% when using \pkgname{latex8} with \pkgname{hyperref}.)
%
% \item \iecnf{} changes bibliography formatting by redefining the
% |thebibliography| environment instead of by requiring the author to
% use a particular \BibTeX{} style file.
%
% \item \iecnf{} selects fonts using the \LaTeXe{} font commands
% instead of \TeX{} primitives. This lets an author redefine
% |\rmdefault|, |\sfdefault|, and |\ttdefault| and have those changes
% honored by \iecnf.
%
% \item \iecnf{} uses the \pkgname{geometry} package to construct the
% page layout rather than setting \LaTeX{} registers directly.
% \end{itemize}
%
% Note that \iecnf{} is intended specifically for preparing manuscripts
% for \ICSP{} conference proceedings. Most other IEEE
% publications---including other IEEE conference proceedings---specify
% different formatting requirements. Unless you were instructed
% explicitly to follow \ICSP's conference-proceedings guidelines, you
% may find the \pkgname{IEEEtran} package more appropriate than \iecnf.
%
% \paragraph{Caveats} First, as of this writing, \iecnf{} has been neither
% validated nor endorsed by the \ICSP{}\@. Second, some of the \ICSP's
% guidelines are outside of \iecnf's scope. See
% Section~\ref{sec:limitations} for details. Third, the \ICSP{}
% occasionally changes their guidelines; \iecnf~\fileversion{}
% implements the guidelines that were current on~2007/01/15. In fact,
% the \ICSP{} Web site provides two sets of guidelines:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% \url{ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct8.5x11.pdf}.
% \iecnf{} relies on this document for its primary set of
% guidelines.
%
% \item
% \url{http://www.computer.org/portal/site/ieeecs/index.jsp?pageID=ieeecs_level1&path=ieeecs/publications/cps&file=cps_forms.xml&xsl=generic.xsl}.
% This Web page contains almost the same contents as the preceding
% PDF file except that the ``Footnotes'' section has nothing to do
% with footnotes but rather with column formatting. Footnote
% guidance is taken from the other set of guidelines.
%
% \item
% \url{ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM}
% and
% \url{ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct.txt}.
% This document provides guidance on footnote formatting. However,
% it contradicts the previous documents by specifying that paragraphs
% be indented by 1~pica while the preceding document says to indent
% paragraphs by 1/4~inch (1.5~picas). It limits the abstract to
% 3~inches (7.62\,cm) while the previous document dictates a
% 150-word limit. \iecnf{} follows the previous document in the
% case of any conflict.
%
% This document contains an additional section about illustrations
% that says not to use color figures unless instructed to do so and
% presents a few prehistoric guidelines about penciling in page
% numbers and how to use rub-on symbols.
% \end{itemize}
%
% Pages on the IEEE Computer Society Web site are frequently moved
% and/or renamed. You may need to search a bit to find the latest
% versions of the documents described above.
%
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% Unlike \pkgname{latex8}, \iecnf\ is a proper \LaTeXe\ class. Also
% unlike \pkgname{latex8}, it automatically loads the packages it needs
% and sets all of the correct formatting options by default.
%
% \subsection{Class options}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\documentclass}
% Begin your document by loading the \iecnf{} class:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \documentclass{IEEEconf}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \noindent
% Although \iecnf\ is derived from \textsf{article} and accepts the
% same class options, you should not, in general, pass any extra options
% to |\documentclass|. \iecnf\ will automatically set two-column mode
% and a 10\,pt.\ Times Roman font. \iecnf\ honors the user's default
% paper size because the \ICSP\ now allows both U.S.~Letter- and
% A4-sized paper. The default paper size can be overridden by the
% |letterpaper| or |a4paper| class options if a conference dictates a
% particular paper size.
%
% \iecnf\ introduces one class option of its own: |latex8|. The
% |latex8| option instructs \iecnf\ to violate the \ICSP\ guidelines in
% the same manner that the \pkgname{latex8} package provided by the
% \ICSP\ violates them. The advantage of using the |latex8| option is
% that \pkgname{latex8}'s incorrect formatting provides a larger text
% block (27\,pt.\ wider) than the guidelines allow. Hence, if you need
% to squeeze a little extra text into your paper, the |latex8| option
% lets you do that without violating the rules any more than the
% \pkgname{latex8} package does.
%
%
% \subsection{User commands}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\title}
% The |\title| command behaves identically to the one in the
% \textsf{article} class. Just remember to follow what the guidelines
% say about capitalization of words in the title.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\author}
% \DescribeEnv{affiliation}
% \DescribeMacro{\email}
% The guidelines specify different formatting for an author's name and
% for an author's affiliation and e-mail address. For convenience,
% \iecnf\ provides an |affiliation| environment for
% typesetting affiliations and an |\email| macro for typesetting e-mail
% addresses. The following examples show how to format an author list:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% % Individual author
% \author{%
% Amy Author \\
% \begin{affiliation}
% Fancy Text Processing Department \\
% University of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
% \end{affiliation} \\
% \email{author@llanfairPG.ac.uk}
% }
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% % Multiple authors
% \author{%
% Ray Writer \\
% \begin{affiliation}
% International Giant Mega-Corporation, Inc.
% \end{affiliation} \\
% \email{writer@giantmegaco.com}
% \and
% Kim Composer \\
% \begin{affiliation}
% Department of Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic
% \LaTeX{} State University
% \end{affiliation} \\
% \email{composer@latexstate.edu}
% }
% \end{verbatim}
%
% There is not currently any special support in \iecnf\ for typesetting
% multiple affiliations per author.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\date}
% The date macro is implemented but doesn't actually typeset anything.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\callout}
% A \emph{callout} is a piece of text referring to a figure or table.
% When the \ICSP\ re-typesets a document they supposedly want the ``See
% Figure\dots'' and ``See Table\dots'' text to stand out to help the
% typesetter ensure that figures and tables are placed as close as
% possible to their references. The |\callout| macro simply typesets
% its argument in 9-point Helvetica as per the guidelines and is
% typically used as follows: ``\texttt{For details, see}
% |\callout{Figure~\ref{myfigure}}|''. My understanding is that
% |\callout| should be used only when a paper will be re-typeset and not
% when producing camera-ready copy.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\dobeforekey}
% The \ICSP\ guidelines say, ``If the last page of your paper is only
% partially filled, arrange the columns so that they are evenly balanced
% if possible, rather than having one long column.'' While the
% \pkgname{balance} and \pkgname{multicol} packages may help, this is a
% fairly tricky requirement in the general case for \LaTeXe\@. Because
% the last page of a conference paper typically contains only
% references, \iecnf\ provides a simple command, |\dobeforekey|, to help
% with that specific case. |\dobeforekey| takes two arguments: a
% bibliography key (i.e.,~a string passed to the |\cite| command) and a
% command to execute before typesetting the corresponding bibliography
% entry. When preparing the final version of your paper, put
% ``|\dobeforekey{|\meta{key}|}{\newpage}|'' anywhere before the
% |\bibliography| command and use trial-and-error to find the key that
% best balances the columns on the last page of the paper.
%
% \paragraph{Reference lists}
% The \ICSP\ provides little guidance about typesetting reference
% lists. Apparently, the author is granted some flexibility. \iecnf{}
% uses the specified font but leaves the rest of the formatting
% decisions to the author's chosen bibliography style. As the \ICSP's
% two sample references both use abbreviated author names, it's probably
% best to use |\bibliographystyle{abbrv}| when including a \BibTeX{}
% bibliography.\footnote{\texttt{latex8.bst} is in fact identical to
% \texttt{abbrv.bst} except that it injects
% ``\texttt{\cs{setlength}\linebreak[0]\string{\cs{itemsep}\string}\linebreak[0]\string{-1ex\string}\linebreak[0]\cs{small}}''
% into its generated \texttt{thebibliography} environment.} \iecnf{}
% also supports the |\thebibliography| environment for authors who
% prefer to typeset their reference lists manually.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\extrareflistcode}
% Previous versions of the \ICSP\ guidelines stated that bibliographic
% references must be single-spaced, and that's how \iecnf\ formats the
% list of references. The current guidelines say nothing about
% inter-reference spacing but their two sample references are in fact
% separated by a blank line. To provide the author with both
% alternatives, \iecnf\ provides a ``hook'' macro called
% |\extrareflistcode| that enables one to alter the line spacing---or
% any other aspect of reference-list spacing.
%
% As in most \LaTeXe\ classes, references are typeset within a \LaTeX{}
% |list| environment. The |\extrareflistcode| macro specifies extra
% code to execute as part of the second argument to |\begin{list}| when
% typesetting the document's References section. |\extrareflistcode| is
% initially empty but can be redefined by the author with
% |\renewcommand|. For example, the following code instructs \iecnf{}
% to insert a blank line between entries in the references list:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \renewcommand{\extrareflistcode}{\setlength{\itemsep}{\baselineskip}}
% \end{verbatim}
%
%
% \section{Limitations}
% \label{sec:limitations}
%
% There are some requirements in the Computer Society's guidelines that
% \iecnf\ is unable to enforce:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item ``All manuscripts must be in English.''
%
% \item ``Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs,
% adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate
% conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such a
% word).''
%
% \item ``Avoid the use of academic degrees and society affiliations.''
%
% \item ``Avoid using bit-mapped fonts if possible. True--Type~1
% fonts are preferred.''
%
% \item ``Use footnotes sparingly (or not at all!)''. The guidelines
% do specify how to format footnotes if you're desperate and \iecnf{}
% honors the those requirements.
%
% \item ``Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of
% referenced books.''
% \end{itemize}
%
% \noindent
% Furthermore, there are also some requirements the \iecnf{}
% does not currently implement:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item ``The abstract is to be\dots up to 150~words in length.''
% \iecnf\ currently allows abstracts of any length.
%
% \item In the author list, ``[m]ultiple authors may be shown in a
% two- or three-column format''. Like \textsf{article}, \iecnf{}
% packs as many authors as possible onto a line.
%
% \item ``Initially capitalize only the first word of each figure
% caption and table title~\dots\ Figure captions are to be centered
% below the figures. Table titles are to be centered above the
% tables.'' Consider using the \pkgname{topcapt} package to help with
% this captioning requirement.
%
% \item ``If the last page of your paper is only partially filled,
% arrange the columns so that they are evenly balanced if possible,
% rather than having one long column.'' Consider using either
% \iecnf's |\doafterkey| macro or the \pkgname{balance} package to
% help with this formatting requirement.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \noindent
% Some of the above shortcomings may be fixed in a future release of
% \iecnf\ if I figure out a good way to do so.
%
% Also note that currently, only $8\mbox{\textonehalf} \times 11''$
% proceedings are supported, not $6 \times 9''$ proceedings.

% \section{Implementation}
%
% This section contains the complete source code to \iecnf.
% If you're not a \LaTeX\ hacker you probably won't find it
% particularly interesting or useful. However, if you're comfortable
% reading \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ code, you can see exactly what
% \iecnf\ is doing and how.
%
% \subsection{Initialization}
%
% \changes{v1.4}{2009/03/21}{Introduced a \texttt{onecolumn} class option
% in case a document needs to use the \pkgname{multicol} package}
% \begin{macro}{\ieee@column@spec}
% The guidelines require that all text be in a two-column format.
% However, there may be some special cases in which a single-column
% format is desirable, for example if the \pkgname{multicol} package is
% needed anywhere in the document. We therefore provide a |onecolumn|
% option to suppress the default two-column formatting.
% \begin{macrocode}

% \begin{macro}{\@ieee@correct@geometry@true}
% \begin{macro}{\@ieee@correct@geometry@false}
% \iecnf\ lays out the page geometry according to the \ICSP\ guidelines.
% However, as \iecnf\ is not yet recognized by the IEEE Computer
% Society, virtually all IEEE Computer Society conferences point authors
% wanting to use \LaTeX\ to the old, broken \pkgname{latex8} package,
% which fails to honor the \ICSP's formatting guidelines. However,
% because of its incorrectness, \pkgname{latex8} actually gives authors
% a little more space for text. \iecnf\ therefore provides a |latex8|
% option to give authors the extra space provided by the
% \pkgname{latex8} package without sacrificing compatibility with other
% \LaTeXe\ packages and flexibility as would using the \pkgname{latex8}
% package directly.

% outside the print area. All \emph{text} must be in a two-column
% format. Columns are to be 3-1/16 inches (7.85\,cm) wide, with a
% 3/8~inch (0.81\,cm) space between them. Text must be fully
% justified.
% \end{quotation}
%
% \noindent
% We set the top margin to 1~inch and let the bottom margin define
% itself based on the top margin and the text height as per the

%
% \begin{quotation}
% The second and following pages should begin 1.0~inch (2.54\,cm) from
% the top edge. On all pages, the bottom margin should be
% \mbox{1-1/8~inches} (2.86\,cm) from the bottom edge of the page for
% \mbox{8.5~$\times$~11-inch} paper; for A4~paper, approximately
% \mbox{1-5/8~inches} (4.13\,cm) from the bottom edge of the page.

% \subsection{Abstract}
%
% \begin{environment}{abstract}
% The guidelines have a lot to say about formatting abstracts:
%
% \begin{quotation}
% The abstract is to be in fully-justified italicized text, at the top
% of the left-hand column as it is here, below the author information.
% Use the word ``Abstract'' as the title, in 12-point Times, boldface
% type, centered relative to the column, initially capitalized. The
% abstract is to be in 10-point, single-spaced type, and up to
% 150~words in length. Leave two blank lines after the abstract, then
% begin the main text.
% \end{quotation}
%
% Most of the following code was taken verbatim from |classes.dtx|.
% \changes{v1.4}{2009/03/21}{Modified the abstract-handling code to use
% the same formatting in both one- and two-column mode}

% \subsection{Figures and tables}
%
% Format figure and table captions as follows:
%
% \begin{quotation}
% Figure and table captions should be 10-point Helvetica (or a similar
% sans-serif font), boldface. Callouts should be 9-point Helvetica,
% non-boldface. Initially capitalize only the first word of each
% figure caption and table title. Figures and tables must be numbered
% separately. For example: ``Figure~1. Database contexts'',
% ``Table~1. Input data''. Figure captions are to be below the
% figures. Table titles are to be centered above the tables.
% \end{quotation}
%
% Currently, the author is responsible for putting captions above tables
% and below figures. The \pkgname{topcapt} package is useful for
% ensuring proper spacing when captions are placed above a table.
%
% \begin{macro}{\@makecaption}
% Modify |\@makecaption| to typeset everything in 10 pt.\ Helvetica and

% \begin{macrocode}

% \end{macrocode}
%
% Format sections as follows:
%
% \begin{quotation}
% For example, ``1.~Introduction'', should be Times 12-point boldface,

% number, not a colon.

%
% \begin{quotation}
% As in this heading, they should be Times 11-point boldface, initially
% capitalized, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after.

%
% Format subsubsections as follows:
%
% \begin{quotation}
% Third-order headings, as in this paragraph, are discouraged. However,
% if you must use them, use 10-point Times, boldface, initially
% capitalized, flush left, preceded by one blank line, followed by a
% period and your text on the same line.

% \subsection{References}
%
% \begin{environment}{thebibliography}
% In order to make \iecnf\ play nicely with the \pkgname{tocbibind}
% package we need to separate the code that outputs the word
% ``References'' (or whatever |\refname| is defined as) from the code
% that typesets the bibliography in a list. Hence, our
% |thebibliography| definition is rather short.
% \begin{macrocode}
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
\section*{\refname}%

% \end{environment}
%
% \begin{environment}{ieee@thebibitemlist}
% The IEEE guidelines provide very little guidance when it comes to
% formatting a bibliography. All they insist upon is that it be typeset
% in 9\,pt.\ Times and use square brackets. The following is almost
% identical to the definition of |thebibliography| in |classes.dtx| but
% sets the appropriate font size and---as a courtesy to authors
% struggling to meet page-length requirements---eliminates blank lines
% between entries. The user can reinstate blank lines by redefining the
% |\extrareflistcode| hook.
