Author Misconduct Procedures: The procedures that will be used b y the Signal Pro-
cessing Society in the investigation of author misconduct allegations are described in
the IEEE SPS Policies and Procedures Manual.
Author Misconduct Sanctions: The IEEE Signal Processing Society will apply the
following sanctions in any case of plagiarism, or in cases of self-plagiarism that involve
an overlap of more than 25% with another journal manuscript:
1) immediate rejection of the manuscript in question;
2) immediate withdrawal of all other submitted manuscripts by any of the authors,
submitted to any of the Society’s publications (journals, conferences, workshops),
except for manuscripts that also involve innocent co-authors; immediate with-
drawal of all other submitted manuscripts by any of the authors, submitted to
any of th e Society’s publications (journals, conferences, workshops), except for
manuscripts that also involve innocent co-authors;
3) prohibition against each of the authors for any new submissions, either individually,
in combination with the authors of the plagiarizing manuscript, or in combination
with new co-authors, to all o f the Society’s publications (journals, conferences,
workshops). The prohibition shall continue for one year from notice of suspension.
Further, plagiarism and self-plagiarism may also be actionable by the IEEE under the
rulesofMemberConduct.
Submission Format.
Authors are encouraged to prepare manuscripts employing the on-line style ¿les
developed by IEEE. All manuscripts accepted for publication will require the authors
to make ¿nal submission employing these style ¿les. The style ¿les are available on the
web at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/authors_jour-
nals.html#sect2 under “Template for all T
RANSACTIONS.” (LaTeX and MS Word).
Authors using LaTeX: the two PDF versions of the manuscript needed for
submission can both be produce d by the IEEEtran.cls style ¿le. A double-spaced
document is generated by including \documentclass[11pt,draftcls,onecolumn]
{IEEEtran} as the ¿rst line of the manuscript source ¿le, and a single-spaced
double-column document for estimating the publication page charges via
\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn,twoside]{IEEEtran} for a regular submission, or
\documentclass[9pt,twocolumn,twoside]{IEEEt ran} for a Correspondence item.
Title pa ge and abstract: The ¿rst page of the manuscript shall contain the title,
names and contact information for all authors (full mailing address, institutional
af¿liations, phone, fax, and e-mail), the abstract, and the EDICS. An asterisk *
should be placed next to the name of the Corresponding Author who will serve
as the main point of contact for the manuscript during the review and publication
processes.
An abstract must be a well-written stand-alone paragraph 150-25 0 words long,
with no displayed equations, footnotes, references or tabular material. The abstract
should indicate the scope of the paper and summarize the autho r’s conclusions,
making it a useful tool for information retrieval. Visit http://www.signalprocess-
ingsociety.org/publications/periodicals/tsp/tsp-author-info/ for speci¿cations and
description.
EDICS: All submissions mustbe classi¿ed by the author with an EDICS (E ditors’ In-
formation Classi¿cationScheme) selected from thelist of EDICSpublishedonline at

Failure to do so will likely result in a delay of the peer review process.

page—of the manuscript.
Illustrations and tables: Each ¿gure and table should have a caption that is intel-
ligible without requiring reference to the text. Illustrations/tables may be worked
into the text of a newly-submitted manuscript, or placed at the end of the manu-
script. (However, for the ¿nal submission, illustrations/tables must be submitted
separately and not interwoven with the text.)
Illustrations in color may be used but, unle s s the ¿nal publishing will be in color,
the author is responsible that the corresponding grayscale ¿gure is understanda ble.
In preparing your illustrations, note that in the printing proc ess, most illustrations
are reduced to single-column width to conserve space. This may result in as much
as a 4:1 reduc tion from the original. Therefore, make sure that all words are in a
type size that will reduce to a minimum of 9 points or 3/16 inch high in the printed
version. Only the major grid lines on graphs should be indicated.
Abbreviations: This T
RANSACTIONS follows the practices of the IEEE on
units and abbreviations, as outlined in the Institute’s published standards. See
http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/authors/
transjnl/auinfo07.pdf for details.
Mathematics: All mathematical expressions must be legible. Do not give deriva-
tions that are easily found in the literature; merely cite the reference.

thor(s) o r his/her/their company or institution will be asked to pay a charge of $110 per
page to cover part of the cost of publication of the ¿rst ten pages that comprise the stan-
dard length (six p ages, in the case of Technical Correspondences until the ir publication
will be discontinued).
Mandatory Page Charges. The author(s) or his/her/their company or institution will
be billed $220 per each page in excess of the ¿rst ten published pages for regular papers
and six published pages for technical correspondence until their publication will be dis-
continued. These are mandatory page charges and the author(s) will be held responsible
for them. They are not negotiable or voluntary. The author(s) signi¿es his willingness to
pay these charges simply by submitting his/her/their manuscript to the T
RANSACTIONS.
The Publisher holds the right to withhold publication under any circumstance, as well as
publication of the current or future su bmissions of authors who have outstanding mand a-
tory page charge debt.
Color Charges. Color ¿gures which appear in color only in the electronic (Xplore)
version can be used free of charge. In this case, the ¿gure will be printed in the hardcopy
version in grayscale, and the author is re sponsible that the corresponding grayscale ¿gure
is intelligible. Color reproduction in print is expensive, and all charges for color are the
responsibility of the author. The estimated costs are as follows. There w ill be a charge
of $62.50 for each ¿gure; this charge may be subject to change without noti¿cation. In
addition, there are printing preparation charges which may be estimated as follows: color
reproductions on four or few er pages of t he manuscript: a total of approximately $1045;
color reproductions on ¿ve pages thro ugh eight p ages: a total of approximately $2090;
color reproductions on nine through 12 pages: a total of approximately $3135, and so on.
Payment of fees on color reproduction is not negotiable or voluntary, and the author’s
agreement to publish the manuscript in the T
RANSACTIONS is considered acceptance of
this requirement.
