                                   Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first
                                   online and then in print and on CD-ROM. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet
                                   publication criteria. A unique, consistent, permanent citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to
                                   each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as
                                   soon they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic
                                   versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:
                                       ƒ The first four digits correspond to the SPIE volume number.
                                       ƒ The last two digits indicate publication order within the volume using a Base 36 numbering
                                       system employing both numerals and letters. These two-number sets start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05,
                                       06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B … 0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc.
                                   The CID number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first
                                   page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages. Numbers in the index correspond to the last
                                   two digits of the six-digit CID number.
