Preparing Multimedia (HTML) Version of Papers

For maximum compatibility with browsers, please make sure that the content conforms to the HTML 3.2 specifications.

• It is recommended that you put all the parts of your paper in a single document, except for non-text multimedia files that are accessed through hyperlinks. This allows the readers to print the entire paper easily. It is important that the filename for the main body of your paper be "index.htm" since it is the way the Table of Contents will reference it.

For this reason and for compatibility, we strongly discourage the use of frames.

• The following header should appear at the top left corner of each paper in default font:

IEEE Interantional Conference on Multimedia & Expo 2000
New York, New York
Electronic Proceedings
© 2000 IEEE

• The section flow of the paper should be: title and author, abstract, table of contents, main body (section 1, section 2, ... ), end notes (optional), acknowledgment (optional), bibliography.

Note that the table of contents is unique to the electronic manuscript. Each line in the link could be linked to the appropriate section in the electronic document. A link should also be provided at the end of each section back to the table of contents.

• The title should be generated using the <h1> tag. The section headings should be generated using the <h2> tag. The subsection headings should be generated using <h3> tag. The text in each section should be in the default font.

 
• All major sections (including abstract, bibliography, acknowledgment) should be separated by a horizontal line, using the <hr> tag.

 
• Make sure that internal links to parts of your paper are relative to the current directory of your file. This is essential for making your document portable to the CD-ROM. External links to other documents on the WWW should include the complete URL address. Please check that all your hyperlinks work.

The publisher will charge you extra if the hyperlinks in the submitted document do not work .
