1. Update manuscript following the final check list. Please be sure that that you have references to the most recently published papers.
2. Format your paper to IEEE two column standard so it looks like IEEE Transaction paper with footnotes, authors' photos, bios etc. Please tailor the length of your paper so the last page is not half empty and be sure that the manuscript does not exceed the page limit. Please be aware that during editing process the manuscript may expand and move to the next page, then the editor may shorten the manuscript by removing your photos and bios. In the footnote of the first page you must include the following statement: "Copyright (c) 2009 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted. However, permission to use this material for any other purposes must be obtained from the IEEE by sending a request to pubs-permissions@ieee.org." (see sample paper on http://tie.ieee-ies.org/tie/template.pdf ). Save formatted document as PDF. This PDF file will be used for preprinting your paper on IEEE Xplore. When printing to PDF from WORD in printer properties, select “Press Quality” instead of “Standard” so the file meets Xplore requirements. Name this file ALL_0x-TIE-xxxx.pdf. This double column version of your final paper will be published as it is on the IEEE Xplore as forthcoming articles.
3. Format your document with single-column double-space (using 12 font size), save the document as TXT_0x-TIE-xxxx.ext where for “ext” use proper extension depends on your software used (for WORD document use “doc”). This document should also include other text descriptions such as figure captions and tables and it will be used for electronic extraction of your written text.
4. Include a signed IEEE Copyright Form. Please download the form from http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/rights/copyrightmain.html, sign it and then scan it to PDF format and save as CR_0x-TIE-xxxx.pdf.

If you selected electronic submission please indicate it by writing on the end of INF_0x-TIE-xxxx.txt file (item 10 on this list) "Copyright form will be submitted electronically". The electronic submission of copyright form (ECR) will only work when manuscript has been "accepted" and the final version of the manuscript (ZIP file) has been uploaded.

The zip file 0x-TIE-xxxx.zip should be uploaded to ManuscriptCentral. Login to MC and go to your Author Center. You will see a page similar to the one shown below. In the lower right corner you will see the submit final files link. Go there and upload your ZIP (or RAR) file using file designation as "other"
You are strongly encouraged to use TeX, LaTeX, or Troff programs for the most accurate and efficient transfer of your manuscript, especially for those containing extensive mathematics.
