Paper:SPL-04493-2007.R1 Variable Step-Size NLMS Algorithm for
Under-Modeling Acoustic Echo Cancellation

Dear Dr. Paleologu,

We are pleased to inform you that the above paper has
been ACCEPTED for publication in the IEEE Signal Processing
Letters.

Please note the IEEE Signal Processing Letters is going
electronic in 2008, and all Accepted manuscripts for the Letters
will be published electronically, rather than in print, with a
cumulative print issue in December.

The IEEE Signal Processing Letters has a commitment to deliver
valuable technical information to the signal processing
community in a timely manner. To that end, the IEEE Signal
Processing Letters, its editors, and staff are making every
effort to ensure that the submission of finalized papers not be
unduly protracted. We hope you will assist us by the careful
preparation of your final submission.

To assist publication, ALL of the following items are REQUIRED
to process your paper. Please note that except if there are
exigent circumstances of which you can notify us in writing in
advance, we will expect to receive your final materials no
later
than 6 weeks from the date of this letter.

* NOTE: All hard copy final materials are to be mailed to Mrs.
Deborah Tomaro, and any electronic final materials are to be
e-mailed directly to the Production Department to spl@ieee.org.
Please always reference your manuscript # on all final materials
and on the Copyright form.
-> The Production Department REQUIRES that you reference your
manuscript # and title in the subject heading of your e-mail to
them when sending your electronic materials.

* ALSO NOTE: Published papers are to be max 4 pages
DOUBLE-column SINGLE-spaced, point size 10 in print format
(which equals 10 pages SINGLE-column DOUBLE-spaced, point size
11 in draft format). This 4-page limit, which includes figures
and tables, will be enforced as per the E-i-C. Please follow
the submission standard carefully, per the
guidelines/Information for Authors, found at
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm.
It is highly recommended to submit at least 1 copy of your hard
copy materials in the print format (in addition to the 3
double-spaced required copies), using the templates, to ensure
your paper is 4 or less print pages. Per the Production
Department in regards to final materials submission, if you use
the templates, 10 point is the standard format for text, and the
abstract/references/captions are typically in 8 point.

Your final manuscript should be prepared in
LaTeX2e or MS Word, and is required to use the
style files established by IEEE, available at
http://www.ieee.org/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm

[ ] The properly executed IEEE copyright form (hard copy,
printed from
http://www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/), which is to
be included with your mailed hard copy final materials. Please
be sure this form is completed by filling in the paper title,
all author names, the name of the journal, then sign and date
the form. This is a required document. By policy, IEEE owns
the copyright to the technical contributions it publishes on
behalf of the interests of the IEEE, its authors, and their
employers; and to facilitate the appropriate reuse of this
material by others. To comply with United States copyright law,
authors are required to sign and submit a completed "IEEE
Copyright Transfer Export Control Compliance Form" with their
original submission (AND AGAIN WITH THE FINALIZED MANUSCRIPT
PRIOR TO PUBLICATION).

[ ] Three (3) SINGLE-column DOUBLE-spaced (1-column) draft
format hard copies in point size 11 of your complete manuscript
on paper,
exactly matching your electronic files, and with the text,
abstract and references printed double-spaced (one full blank
line between lines of type). These copies will be used for
comparison at various stages of production and to resolve
questions.

[ ] Two (2) DOUBLE-column SINGLE-spaced (2-column) print format
hard copies of your final manuscript (4 pages max in point size
10, which is 10 pages in draft format point size 11), with text,
abstract, figures and references SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. This
copy will serve as a confirmation of the approximate publication
length of the manuscript at submission, in that it does not go
beyond 4 pages.

[ ] One (1) copy of the text of the manuscript in
electronic form, following the guidelines in the
`Instructions for Authors,' to the Production Department
via email to spl@ieee.org. Include a header (essentially,
a cover letter or a separate sheet of paper) to identify
this piece as a Signal Processing Letter, the names and
contact information of each author, and the software used to

format the manuscript. Guidelines can be found at:
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/pub.html
and/or
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm)

Illustrations/tables must be submitted in separate
files. See the `Instructions for Authors' for
guidelines on preparing graphics files.

Send the files by email to spl@ieee.org,
or submit as a CD, 3 1/2 inch disk, or ZIP with the hard
copy materials to Mrs. Deborah Tomaro at d.tomaro@ieee.org.
-> The Production Department REQUIRES that you reference your
manuscript # and title in the subject heading of your e-mail to
them when sending your electronic materials.

[ ] Separate originals of artwork/illustrations/tables.
Original art will not be returned. Illustrations will often

be reduced to 7-inch or 3-1/2-inch widths depending on the
size of the original. The size of the lettering should be
no smaller than 8 point or 8mm after reduction. In order to

be legible after reduction, it is always preferable that
the lettering be capitalized (except for mathematical
symbols). Ensure that all legends are readable even after a
reduction in size to fit the double-column printing format.
See the `Instructions for Authors' for details.

[ ] A separate list of figure/table captions.

[ ] E-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers of
all authors via a header/cover letter/separate sheet of
paper.

Please send the requested hard copy materials to:
IEEE - Signal Processing Society
Signal Processing Letters/Deborah Tomaro
445 Hoes Lane
Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA

(For Express Mail, the telephone number for the
airbill is +1 732 562 5599.)

When I am in receipt of the above required materials, you will
receive an e-mailed confirmation, and your materials will be
forwarded to the production staff. Once you are scheduled for
an issue, which is based on our current queue, you will be
informed of your publication date and when you can expect to
receive galley proofs. Galley proofs will come directly from
our Production Department (spl@ieee.org), and will be available
around the time the manuscript is scheduled for publication.
Therefore, if you have any questions regarding these galley
proofs once you've been notified of your pub date, please
contact them directly.

* If you have any questions regarding the reviews, please
contact the Associate Editor who managed your paper. Inquiries
regarding the submission of your final electronic materials
should be directed to the Production Department at spl@ieee.org.
All other inquiries should be directed to the Coordinator
managing this journal, Deborah Tomaro.

Best regards,
Prof. Vesa Valimaki
