Part II: Preparation of the Paper
General Instructions
Use the LaTeX or MS Word templates in Camera-ready template .
Prepare your paper in full-size format, on A4 paper (210mm by 297mm). Write the paper in English.
We kindly ask authors to check your camera-ready paper if all fonts in the PDF file of the final manuscript are embedded and subset. It can be checked from Document Properties/Fonts in File menu of Adobe Acrobat.
Document Formatting
A. Paper Length
The length of the paper is limited to 4-8 pages. Please DO NOT put a page number on each page. Please DO NOT put a page number on each page.
B. Type Sizes and Typefaces
Follow the type sizes specified in Table I. As an aid in gauging type size, 1 point is about 0.35 mm. The size of the lowercase letter “j” will give the point size. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
C. Margins
top = 19mm, bottom = 43mm and left = right = 13mm. The column width is 8mm (3.45 in). The space between the two columns is 4mm (0.17 in). Paragraph indentation is 3.5 mm (0.14 in).
D. Style
The style of the paper is single-spaced two-column format like this sample. Left- and right-justify your columns. Use tables and figures to adjust column length. On the last page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling. Digitize or paste down figures.
E. The First Page
Center the title across both columns at the top of the first page, followed by authors’ names and their affiliations. Long title should be typed on two lines without a blank line intervening. The two-column format should start with the abstract. Type the abstract at the beginning of the left column in the first page, leaving approximately 1 cm (0.39 in) from the title part. The abstract should be the same as that submitted electronically on the symposium website.
Begin typing the main body of the text immediately after the abstract, observing the two-column format as shown in this example.

Part III: Submission of the Manuscript
The review process will be performed from the electronic submission of your manuscript. To ensure that your document is compatible with the review system, please adhere to the following compatibility requirements:
File Format
Papers must be submitted in Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
Please make sure that you submit a valid PDF to the submission system. Adobe Acrobat is the prefered way of generating a PDF file, but there are many other options which produce quality PDFs as well.
PDF files:
- must not have Adobe Document Protection or Document Security enabled,
- must have ‘A4’ sized pages,
- must be in first-page-first order, and
- must have ALL FONTS embedded and subset.
ALL FONTS MUST be embedded in the PDF or PostScript file. There is no guarantee that the reviewers of the abstract have the same fonts used in the document. If fonts are not embedded in the submission, you will be contacted by CMS and asked to submit a file that has all fonts embedded. Please refer to your PDF or PS file generation utility’s user guide to find out how to embed all fonts.
Information for LaTeX users
Generating a PostScript file is straightforward for all LaTeX packages we are aware of. When preparing the proposal under LaTeX, it is preferable to use scalable fonts such as Type I, Computer Modern. However, quite good results can be obtained with the fonts defined in the style file recommended above (spconf.sty).
PDF files with Postscript Type 3 fonts are highly discouraged. PDF and PostScript files utilizing Type 3 fonts are typically produced by the LaTeX system and are lower-resolution bitmapped versions of the letters and figures. It is possible to perform a few simple changes to the configuration or command-line to produce files that use PostScript Type 1 fonts, which are a vector representation of the letters and figures.
For most installations of LaTeX, you can cause dvips to output Type 1 fonts instead of Type 3 fonts by including -Ppdf option to dvips. The resulting PDF file will reference the Type 1 Computer Modern fonts, rather than embedding the bitmapped Type 3 versions, which cause problems with printers.
You may also need to tell dvips to force letter sized paper with the option: -t letter.
Some LaTeX installations also include pdflatex, which produces acceptable PDF files as well.
File Size Limit
Authors will be permitted to submit a document file up to 5 MB (megabytes) in size. To request an exception, contact the paper submission technical support at: apsipaasc2022-chairs@edas.info
File Name
The filename of the document file should be the first author’s last name, followed by the appropriate extension (.pdf). For example, if the first author’s name is Johan Smith, you would submit your file as “smith.pdf”.
The paper submission process will append the filename with a unique identifier when it is stored on our system, so multiple submissions with the same name will not overwrite each other and will be distinguishable.
Electronic Paper Submission
When you have your document file ready, gather the following information before entering the submission system:
- Manuscript in PDF format
- Affiliation, email address, and mailing address for each author
- Paper title
To submit your document and author information, go to the ‘Paper Submission’ link on the APSIPA ASC 2022 homepage:
The submission system will present an entry form to allow you to enter the paper title, paper topic, and author contact information.
ALL authors must be entered in the online form, and must appear in the online form in the same order in which the authors appear on the PDF.
After you submit this information, the system will display a page with the data that you entered so that you may verify its accuracy. If you need to change the data to fix a mistake, you may use the back button on your browser to return to the information entry form. Once you approve of the data that you have entered, you may choose your document file for upload at the bottom of the verification page. When you click on the button labeled ‘Continue’ at the bottom of this page, the page will check the filename extension to make sure it matches the submission criteria, then your browser will upload your file to our server. Depending on the size of your file and your internet connection speed, this upload may take a few minutes. At the end of a successful upload, you will see a confirmation page displaying the paper number that is assigned to you, and and email message will be sent to the corresponding authors’ email addresses to confirm that the file has been uploaded. If you do not see the confirmation page after uploading your file, we may not have successfully received your file upload. If you encounter trouble, contact the paper submission support at: apsipaasc2022-chairs@edas.info
Online Review Process
Your submitted manuscript will be visually inspected by our submission system staff to assure that the document is readable and meets all formatting requirements to be included in a visually pleasing and consistant proceedings publication for APSIPA ASC 2022. If our submission inspectors encounter errors with your submitted file, they will contact you to resolve the issue. If your paper passes inspection, it will be entered into the review process. A committee of reviewers selected by the conference committee will review the manuscripts and rate them according to quality, relevence, and correctness. The conference technical committee will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation in the conference. The result of the technical committee’s decision will be communicated to the submitting authors by email, along with any program committee comments, if any.
Monitor Your Submission Status
After you submit your document, you may monitor the status of your paper as it progresses through the submission and review process by using the Paper Status website available at:
Notification of Acceptance
Authors will be notified of paper acceptance or non-acceptance by email as close as possible to the published author notification date. The email notification will include the presentation format chosen for your paper (lecture or poster) and may also include the presentation date and time, if available.
The notification email may include comments from the reviewers and/or program committee members. The conference cannot guarantee that all of the reviewers will provide the level of detail desired by you. However, reviewers are encouraged to submit as detailed comments as possible.
Because of the short amount of time between paper acceptance decisions and the beginning of the publication process, APSIPA ASC 2022 is not able to allow for a two-way discourse between the authors and the reviewers of a paper. If there appears to be a logistical error in the reviewer comments, such as the reviewer commenting on the wrong paper, etc., please contact APSIPA ASC 2022 at apsipaasc2022-chairs@edas.info
Continuing in 2022! Publication in the Proceedings: All accepted submissions, with an author registered, and which are presented on-site, will be published in the proceedings (IEEE XPlore). This is no longer optional.
Required Author Registration
Be sure that at least one author registers to attend the conference using the online registration system available through the conference website. Each accepted paper being presented must have at least one author registered, with the payment received by the author registration deadline (see above) to avoid being withdrawn from the conference.
