Using the IEEEtran
class, I have problems positioning a two-column figure on the desired page: The figure is always plotted on the next page.
Here my minimal code:
\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:EndConclusion}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Conclusion text
\begin{figure*}[tb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figure1}
\caption{caption}
\end{figure*}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\end{document}
which results in:
I'd like to have the figure on the top and then Conclusion and References below. There is definitely enough space for everything. What can I do?
Well, my real conclusion is longer, and I have more bib entries, then the references should continue on the next page.

Next paragraph appears in page 11 from
IEEEtran_HOWTO
So if you want that your figure be placed where Conclusions and References, declare it in previous page. And remember that due to next paragraph (page 9)
you must test it with enough text to fill more than one page, otherwise your figure will always appear on an empty second page.
