                                  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 as 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.
