Hi Joe,

I think this is definitely not easy to shorten a paper when after one
or two rounds of reviews, the reviewers explicitly request
measurements or anything else to be accepted. I don't know how to
prune a given number of pages to avoid fees in that case without
upsetting the reviewers. Furthermore, if you look at the table of
contents of transactions, there are many papers above 8 pages. What is
the rationale of 8 pages when most of conferences ask for this length
? Why a scientific contribution should be less than 8 pages ?
Furthermore in these 8 pages, the biography of the authors is taken
into account, so with the biblio, it remains only 6 pages for your
contribution! (at last but not least, you have to pay to access the
IEEE library!)

Regards

Emmanuel
