                    IEEE COPYRIGHT FORM  
       
This form is intended for original, previously unpublished   
manuscripts submitted to lEEE periodicals and conference   
publications.  The signed form, appropriately completed, MUST   
ACCOMPANY any such paper in order to be published by IEEE.  
Please read all notes and information below and keep a copy of of   
the section that you will sign and return to IEEE.   
---------------------------------------------  
           Notes and Information for Authors and Their Employers  
       
IEEE POLICY  
       
In connection with its publishing activities, it is the formal   
policy of the IEEE to own the copyrights to all copyrightable   
material in its technical publications and to the individual   
contributions contained therein, in order to protect the   
interests of the IEEE, its authors and their employers, and, at   
the same time, to facilitate the appropriate re-use of this   
material by others.  The IEEE distributes its technical   
publications throughout the world and does so by various means   
such as hard copy, microfiche, microfilm and electronic media.   
It also abstracts and may translate its publications, and   
articles contained therein, for inclusion in various compendiums   
and similar publications, etc.  When an article is submitted for   
publication to the IEEE, the IEEE understands  
that its acceptance of the article implies that IEEE has the   
rights to do all of the things it normally does with such an   
article.  
       
The following IEEE policy applies to all material submitted to   
IEEE:  
       
IEEE Policy 6.17 - CLEARANCE OF PAPERS  
The IEEE must of necessity assume that material presented at its   
meetings or submitted to its publications is properly available   
for general dissemination to the audiences these activities are   
organized to serve.  It is the responsibility of the authors, not   
the IEEE, to determine whether disclosure of their material   
requires the prior consent of other parties and,  
if so, to obtain it.  
       
Furthermore, the IEEE must assume that, if an author uses within   
his/her article previously published and/or copyrighted material   
that permission has been obtained for such use and that any   
required credit lines, copyright notices, etc. are duly noted.  
       
IEEE OBLIGATIONS  
       
In exercising its rights under copyright, the IEEE will make all   
reasonable  
efforts to act in the interests of the authors and employers as   
well as in its own interest.  In handling third party   
reprint/republication requests for an IEEE work, the IEEE   
requires that:  
       
       1. The consent of the first-named author be sought as a  
condition in granting republication (of a full paper) to others.  
       
       2. The consent of the employer be obtained as a condition  
in granting permission to others to re-use all or portions of a   
paper for promotion or marketing purposes.  
       
AUTHOR/COMPANY RIGHTS  
       
If you are employed and you prepared your paper as a part of your   
job, the rights to your paper initially rest with your employer.   
In that case, when you sign the copyright transfer form, we   
assume you are authorized to do so by your employer and that your   
employer has consented to all the terms and conditions of this   
form.  If not, it should be signed by someone so authorized. (See   
also Policy 6.17 above.)  
       
SPECIAL NOTE TO EMPLOYERS: Just as the IEEE requires a signed   
copyright transfer form (for copyrightable material) in order to   
do "business as usual," it is the intent of the transfer portion   
of the form to return rights to the author and employer so that   
they, too, may do "business as usual." (See note at bottom of   
page re. further details.)  
       
Please note that, although authors are permitted to reuse all or   
portions of their IEEE-copyrighted material in other works, this   
does not include granting third party requests for reprinting,   
republishing or other types of re-use.  All third party requests   
must be handled by the IEEE Copyrights and Permissions   
Department. (See note at bottom of page.)  
       
JOINT AUTHORSHIP  
       
For jointly authored papers, have all the joint authors sign, or   
at least have one of the authors sign as an authorized agent for   
the others.  In the case of multiple authorship where one or more   
authors are Government employees but at least one author is not,   
that non-Government author should sign Part A of this Copyright   
Transfer Form.  
       
RETURNED AND RETAINED RIGHTS  
       
In return for transfering copyright, the IEEE recognizes the   
retained rights noted in Items 1 and 4 below, and grants to the   
above authors and the employers for whom the work was performed   
royalty-free permission to reuse their material as noted in Items   
2 and 3.  Item 5 stipulates that authors and employers must seek   
permission to republish in cases not covered by Items 2, 3, and   
4.  
       
       1. Employers (or authors) retain all proprietary rights in  
any process, procedure, or article of manufacture described in   
the work.  
       2. Authors/employers may reproduce or authorize others to  
reproduce the above work, material extracted verbatim from the   
work, or derivative works for the author's personal use or for   
company use provided that the source and the IEEE copyright   
notice are indicated, that the copies are not used in any way   
that implies IEEE endorsement of a product or service of an   
employer, and that the copies themselves are not offered for   
sale.  (See "Author/Employer Rights" above.)  
       3. Authors/employers may make limited distribution of all  
or portions of the above work prior to publication if they inform   
the IEEE of the nature and extent of such limited distribution   
prior thereto.  
       4. In the case of work performed under a U.S. Government  
contract or grant, IEEE recognizes that the U.S. Government has   
royalty-free permission to reproduce all or portions of the above   
work, and to authorize others to do so, for official U.S.   
Government purposes only, if the contract/grant so requires.   
(Appropriate documentation may be attached, but IEEE's Copyright   
Form MUST BE SIGNED. See "U.S. Government Employees/U.S. Govern-   
ment Contract Work" above.)  
       5. Authors/employers must request permission from the IEEE  
Copyright Office to reproduce or authorize the reproduction of   
the work or material extracted verbatim from the work, including   
figures and tables, for all circumstances not covered by Items 2,   
3, and 4.  
       
U.S. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES/U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACT WORK (PART B)  
       
Authors who are U.S. Government employees are not required to sign   
Part A of the IEEE Copyright Form, but any coauthors outside the   
U.S. Government are required to sign Part A (see JOINT AUTHORSHIP   
above).  
       
Authors whose work was performed under a U.S. Government contract   
or grant, but who are not Government employees, are required to   
sign Part A of this Copyright Form.  
       
CROWN COPYRIGHT (PART C)  
       
Authors who are employees of the British Government (or a British   
Commonwealth Government) and whose works are subject to Crown   
Copyright may sign Part C below.
