-% *** MATH PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage[cmex10]{amsmath}
-% A popular package from the American Mathematical Society that provides
-% many useful and powerful commands for dealing with mathematics. If using
-% it, be sure to load this package with the cmex10 option to ensure that
-% only type 1 fonts will utilized at all point sizes. Without this option,
-% it is possible that some math symbols, particularly those within
-% footnotes, will be rendered in bitmap form which will result in a
-% document that can not be IEEE Xplore compliant!
-%
-% Also, note that the amsmath package sets \interdisplaylinepenalty to 10000
-% thus preventing page breaks from occurring within multiline equations. Use:
-%\interdisplaylinepenalty=2500
-% after loading amsmath to restore such page breaks as IEEEtran.cls normally
-% does. amsmath.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest
-% version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/
-

-
-
-
-% *** SPECIALIZED LIST PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{algorithmic}
-% algorithmic.sty was written by Peter Williams and Rogerio Brito.
-% This package provides an algorithmic environment fo describing algorithms.
-% You can use the algorithmic environment in-text or within a figure
-% environment to provide for a floating algorithm. Do NOT use the algorithm
-% floating environment provided by algorithm.sty (by the same authors) or
-% algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio) as IEEE does not use dedicated
-% algorithm float types and packages that provide these will not provide
-% correct IEEE style captions. The latest version and documentation of

-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithms/
-% There is also a support site at:

-% Also of interest may be the (relatively newer and more customizable)
-% algorithmicx.sty package by Szasz Janos:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithmicx/
-
-
-
-
-% *** ALIGNMENT PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{array}
-% Frank Mittelbach's and David Carlisle's array.sty patches and improves
-% the standard LaTeX2e array and tabular environments to provide better
-% appearance and additional user controls. As the default LaTeX2e table
-% generation code is lacking to the point of almost being broken with
-% respect to the quality of the end results, all users are strongly
-% advised to use an enhanced (at the very least that provided by array.sty)
-% set of table tools. array.sty is already installed on most systems. The
-% latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/
-
-
-%\usepackage{mdwmath}
-%\usepackage{mdwtab}
-% Also highly recommended is Mark Wooding's extremely powerful MDW tools,
-% especially mdwmath.sty and mdwtab.sty which are used to format equations
-% and tables, respectively. The MDWtools set is already installed on most
-% LaTeX systems. The lastest version and documentation is available at:

-
-
-% IEEEtran contains the IEEEeqnarray family of commands that can be used to

-%\usepackage{eqparbox}
-% Also of notable interest is Scott Pakin's eqparbox package for creating
-% (automatically sized) equal width boxes - aka "natural width parboxes".
-% Available at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox/

-
-% *** SUBFIGURE PACKAGES ***
-%\usepackage[tight,footnotesize]{subfigure}
-% subfigure.sty was written by Steven Douglas Cochran. This package makes it
-% easy to put subfigures in your figures. e.g., "Figure 1a and 1b". For IEEE
-% work, it is a good idea to load it with the tight package option to reduce
-% the amount of white space around the subfigures. subfigure.sty is already
-% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
-% be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/obsolete/macros/latex/contrib/subfigure/
-% subfigure.sty has been superceeded by subfig.sty.
-
-
-
-%\usepackage[caption=false]{caption}
-%\usepackage[font=footnotesize]{subfig}
-% subfig.sty, also written by Steven Douglas Cochran, is the modern
-% replacement for subfigure.sty. However, subfig.sty requires and
-% automatically loads Axel Sommerfeldt's caption.sty which will override
-% IEEEtran.cls handling of captions and this will result in nonIEEE style
-% figure/table captions. To prevent this problem, be sure and preload
-% caption.sty with its "caption=false" package option. This is will preserve
-% IEEEtran.cls handing of captions. Version 1.3 (2005/06/28) and later
-% (recommended due to many improvements over 1.2) of subfig.sty supports
-% the caption=false option directly:
-%\usepackage[caption=false,font=footnotesize]{subfig}
-%
-% The latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig/
-% The latest version and documentation of caption.sty can be obtained at:

-
-
-
-
-% *** FLOAT PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{fixltx2e}
-% fixltx2e, the successor to the earlier fix2col.sty, was written by
-% Frank Mittelbach and David Carlisle. This package corrects a few problems
-% in the LaTeX2e kernel, the most notable of which is that in current
-% LaTeX2e releases, the ordering of single and double column floats is not
-% guaranteed to be preserved. Thus, an unpatched LaTeX2e can allow a
-% single column figure to be placed prior to an earlier double column
-% figure. The latest version and documentation can be found at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/base/
-
-
-
-%\usepackage{stfloats}
-% stfloats.sty was written by Sigitas Tolusis. This package gives LaTeX2e
-% the ability to do double column floats at the bottom of the page as well
-% as the top. (e.g., "\begin{figure*}[!b]" is not normally possible in
-% LaTeX2e). It also provides a command:
-%\fnbelowfloat
-% to enable the placement of footnotes below bottom floats (the standard
-% LaTeX2e kernel puts them above bottom floats). This is an invasive package
-% which rewrites many portions of the LaTeX2e float routines. It may not work
-% with other packages that modify the LaTeX2e float routines. The latest
-% version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools/
-% Documentation is contained in the stfloats.sty comments as well as in the
-% presfull.pdf file. Do not use the stfloats baselinefloat ability as IEEE
-% does not allow \baselineskip to stretch. Authors submitting work to the
-% IEEE should note that IEEE rarely uses double column equations and
-% that authors should try to avoid such use. Do not be tempted to use the
-% cuted.sty or midfloat.sty packages (also by Sigitas Tolusis) as IEEE does
-% not format its papers in such ways.
-
-
-
-
-
-% *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{url}
-% url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
-% handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
-% systems. The latest version can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
-% Read the url.sty source comments for usage information. Basically,
-% \url{my_url_here}.
-
-% *** Do not adjust lengths that control margins, column widths, etc. ***
-% *** Do not use packages that alter fonts (such as pslatex). ***
-% There should be no need to do such things with IEEEtran.cls V1.6 and later.
-% (Unless specifically asked to do so by the journal or conference you plan
-% to submit to, of course. )

-% An example of a double column floating figure using two subfigures.
-% (The subfig.sty package must be loaded for this to work.)
-% The subfigure \label commands are set within each subfloat command, the
-% \label for the overall figure must come after \caption.
-% \hfil must be used as a separator to get equal spacing.
-% The subfigure.sty package works much the same way, except \subfigure is
-% used instead of \subfloat.

-%\centerline{\subfloat[Case I]\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{subfigcase1}%
-%\label{fig_first_case}}

-%\subfloat[Case II]{\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{subfigcase2}%
-%\label{fig_second_case}}}
-%\caption{Simulation results}
-%\label{fig_sim}
-%\end{figure*}
-%
-% Note that often IEEE papers with subfigures do not employ subfigure
-% captions (using the optional argument to \subfloat), but instead will
-% reference/describe all of them (a), (b), etc., within the main caption.
-
-
-% An example of a floating table. Note that, for IEEE style tables, the
-% \caption command should come BEFORE the table. Table text will default to
-% \footnotesize as IEEE normally uses this smaller font for tables.
-% The \label must come after \caption as always.
-%
-%\begin{table}[!t]
-%% increase table row spacing, adjust to taste
-%\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3}
-% if using array.sty, it might be a good idea to tweak the value of
-% \extrarowheight as needed to properly center the text within the cells
-%\caption{An Example of a Table}
-%\label{table_example}
-%\centering
-%% Some packages, such as MDW tools, offer better commands for making tables
-%% than the plain LaTeX2e tabular which is used here.
-%\begin{tabular}{|c||c|}
-%\hline
-%One & Two\\
-%\hline
-%Three & Four\\
-%\hline
-%\end{tabular}
-%\end{table}

-% Note that IEEE does not put floats in the very first column - or typically
-% anywhere on the first page for that matter. Also, in-text middle ("here")
-% positioning is not used. Most IEEE journals/conferences use top floats
-% exclusively. Note that, LaTeX2e, unlike IEEE journals/conferences, places
-% footnotes above bottom floats. This can be corrected via the \fnbelowfloat
-% command of the stfloats package.
