IEEETran Latex Template – Add Copyrights on left bottom of first page of Conference class 2

Using the conference class in the IEEETran Latex template, it blocks you from using the IEEEpubid command that can be used to add the copyright note on the bottom of the screen.

Attempt 1 – Enable overrides only

We added the IEEEoverridecommandlockouts command right after the documentclass directive, that allows us to use functionality in IEEETran that should be blocked depending on the document class.
Then we used the IEEEpubid command right after the documentclass directive to create and print the copyright note:

\IEEEpubid{978-1-5386-2880-5/17/\$31.00~\copyright~2017 IEEE}

Doing so, resulted in printing the copyright note in the bottom middle of the first page. The conference class is a two column style, the left column got pushed up a bit to make space, while the right did not. In the end, half of the copyright note was overlapping with the second column.

Attempt 2 – Solution – Customize IEEEpubid as well

After documentclass we added the IEEEoverridecommandlockouts command to enable functionality that is blocked for the conference class.
Then we created our own IEEEpudid command that places itself in a column and not a page as follows:

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
%Enabled blocked functionality
\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
%Define custom IEEEpubid that will place it self in a column and not a page, suitable from conference class
\IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{978-1-5386-2880-5/17/\$31.00~\copyright~2017 IEEE \hfill} \hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{ }}

Finally after the maketitle command we added IEEEpubidadjcol to give more space between the copyright note and the body of first column.

\maketitle
%Add space between copyright and text
\IEEEpubidadjcol

IEEEXtreme 11.0 Programming Competition


IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member, and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch – compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems.

IEEEXtreme 11.0 will take place on
14 October 2017 00:00:00 UTC.

Teams can be composed of up to three collegiate students who are current IEEE student members.

Prizes:

  1. Fame: Unlimited bragging rights and an item for your resume.
  2. Fortune: The Grand Prize is a trip to the IEEE conference of your choice, anywhere in the world.


Regular expression to match any ASCII character

The following regular expression will match any ASCII character (character values [0-127]).

[\x00-\x7F]

The next regular expression makes the exact opposite match, it will match any character that is NOT ASCII (character values greater than 127).

[^\x00-\x7F]
