[Tex/LaTex] Problem with the width of a table

tableswidth

I used the following code to generate a table, but I have faced the problem that clarifies in the attached picture. Any solutions?

\documentclass[11pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage [noadjust]{cite}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}

%
\ifCLASSOPTIONcompsoc
  % IEEE Computer Society needs nocompress option
  % requires cite.sty v4.0 or later (November 2003)
 % \usepackage[nocompress]{cite}
\else
  % normal IEEE
  %\usepackage{cite}
\fi




% *** GRAPHICS RELATED PACKAGES ***
%
\ifCLASSINFOpdf
  % \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
  % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
  % \graphicspath{{../pdf/}{../jpeg/}}
  % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
  % every instance of \includegraphics
  % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
\else
  % or other class option (dvipsone, dvipdf, if not using dvips). graphicx
  % will default to the driver specified in the system graphics.cfg if no
  % driver is specified.
  % \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
  % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
  % \graphicspath{{../eps/}}
  % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
  % every instance of \includegraphics
  % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
\fi

Best Answer

Two principal ways to reduce (improve) the width of the table:

Either use p{...} columns or C{...} columns with a new column type (vertically and horizontally centered`.

Some lines are not wrapped, because I did not use hyphenation there.

The horizontal and vertical lines do not improve the readability of the table, but this is not the issue here....
