If the organizers of an IEEE sponsored conference want headers like this for their conference papers, they must have their own way to include them that is compatible with the IEEEtran
class. I can't imagine they have suggested using the fancyhdr
package, which conflicts with IEEEtran
. @Werner's solution works but effectively overrides IEEEtran
headers.
The conference
option of IEEEtran
removes running headers from your paper.
This was their choice, I guess, and normally that should be respected --- they're the publishers and they should get what they want (or they should make sure that they implement what they want in the IEEEtran
class that they provide).
If you have to use the conferece
option and you absolutely want to have a running header, both in the first page and in all other pages, then I suggest that you get rid of the fancyhdr
package and that you add something like the following to your preamble:
\makeatletter
\let\old@ps@headings\ps@headings
\let\old@ps@IEEEtitlepagestyle\ps@IEEEtitlepagestyle
\def\confheader#1{%
% for all pages except the first
\def\ps@headings{%
\old@ps@headings%
\def\@oddhead{\strut\hfill#1\hfill\strut}%
\def\@evenhead{\strut\hfill#1\hfill\strut}%
}%
% for the first page
\def\ps@IEEEtitlepagestyle{%
\old@ps@IEEEtitlepagestyle%
\def\@oddhead{\strut\hfill#1\hfill\strut}%
\def\@evenhead{\strut\hfill#1\hfill\strut}%
}%
\ps@headings%
}
\makeatother
\confheader{%
12$^{th}$ Iranian Conference on Intelligence Systems,
4-6 February 2014, Bam, Iran
}
Also, I suggest that you end your lines with %
in your \IEEEpubid
, unless you want the copyright notice not to be right-aligned properly with the left column.
\IEEEpubid{%
\makebox[\columnwidth][l]%
{\hfill%
978-1-4799-1228-5/13/\$31.00~\copyright~2013 IEEE%
}%
\hspace{\columnsep}%
\makebox[\columnwidth]{}%
}
As @HarishKumar says, in general this is not possible, and will likely be rejected by the journal. Simply put the figure on the next page. There exists a very dirty trick that allows it, but it is a likely reason for rejection. The body of the article has to start by the first section and not by a figure!
It is probably not mentioned in the manual since (1) the class simply never does it and (2) it is the standard, you never have a figure before the body of the document, so the only figures that can appear on the first page are at the bottom of either column, or at the top of the second column (but only the second column).
Ad your comment: There is a way how to put it at the bottom of the first page, but wide bottom figures are discouraged in twocolumn articles. And the trick is a dirty trick that involves manual measurements and seriously manual tweaks. (And if you post an MWE which shows your wide figure at the top of page 2, I can modify it to make it appear at the bottom of page 1.)
