Short footnotes look wasteful placed in a single column, especially below a full width table. There are some packages to help out, for example ledmac. However, I had trouble getting these to work with the IEEEtrans template and besides, there is actually a reasonable way.
The trick is to create your footnote marks with
\footnotemark[1]
\footnotemark[2]
.. etc.
and then to create the actual footnote text with:
\footnotetext[1]\footnotetext[2]
You can place them in along side each other using minipage:
\footnoterule\footnotesize\begin{minipage}[t]{0.27\linewidth} \footnotetext[1]{Footnote A}\end{minipage}\hfill\begin{minipage}[t]{0.35\linewidth} \footnotetext[2]{Stinky foot note}%\end{minipage}\begin{minipage}[t]{0.31\linewidth} \footnotetext[3]{Another foot note}% \footnotetext[4]{Yet another foot note}\end{minipage}
You can change the style of the footnotes using a command like this (textit makes italic, alph makes lower case lettering):
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\textit{\alph{footnote}}}
Supposedly LaTex is smart enough to reduce long author lists to 1st Author, et al.. If you need to give it a little help:
In your bibtex file, delete the remaining authors and add an author called "other". Ex, "D. Yeager and others"
Dump compile files into a subdirectory
pdflatex -output-directory=SOME_OTHER_DIR
