|
The abstract should
appear at the top of the left-hand column of text, about 0.5 inch
(12 mm) below the title area and no more than 3.125 inches (80 mm)
in length. Leave a 0.5 inch (12 mm) space between the end of the

Formatting your Paper : |
|
All printed
material, including text, illustrations, and charts, must be kept
within a print area of 6.9 inches (175 mm) wide by 8.9 inches (226
mm) high. Do not write or print anything outside the print area. The
top margin must be 1 inch (25 mm), except for the title page, and
the left margin must be 0.75 inch (19 mm). All text must be in a
two-column format. Columns are to be 3.27 inches (83 mm) wide, with
a 0.37 inch (8 mm) space between them. Text must be fully justified. |
Page
Title Section : |
|
The paper title (on
the first page) should begin 1-3/8 inches (35 mm) from the top edge
of the page, centered, completely capitalized, and in Times
14-point, boldface type. The authors’ name (s) and affiliation (s)
appear below the title in capital and lower case letters. Papers
with multiple authors and affiliations may require two or more lines
for this information. |
Type-Style and Fonts : |
|
To achieve the best
rendering both in the proceedings and from the CD-ROM, we strongly
encourage you to use Times-Roman font. In addition, this will give
the proceedings a more uniform look. Use a font that is no smaller
than nine point type throughout the paper, including figure
captions.
In nine point type font, capital letters are 2 mm high. If you use the smallest point size, there should be no more than 3.2 lines/cm (8 lines/inch) vertically. This is a minimum spacing; 2.75 lines/cm (7 lines/inch) will make the paper much more readable. Larger type sizes require correspondingly larger vertical spacing. Please do not double-space your paper. True-Type 1 fonts are preferred.
The first paragraph in each section should not be indented, but all
following paragraphs within the section should be indented as these
paragraphs demonstrate. |
Major Headings : |
|
Subheadings should
appear in lower case (initial word capitalized) in boldface. They
should start at the left margin on a separate line. |
Sub-subheading : |
|
Sub-subheadings ,as
in this paragraph, are discouraged. However, if you must use them,
they should appear in lower case (initial word capitalized) and
start at the left margin on a separate line, with paragraph text
beginning on the following line. They should be in italics. |
Printing your Paper : |
|
Print your properly formatted text on high-quality, 8.5 x 11-inch
white printer paper. A4 paper is also acceptable, but please leave
the extra 0.5 inch (12 mm) empty at the BOTTOM of the page and
follow the top and left margins as specified. If the last page of
your paper is only partially filled, arrange the columns so that
they are evenly balanced if possible, rather than having one long
column. |
Page Numbering : |
|
Please do not
paginate your paper. Page numbers, session numbers, and conference
identification will be inserted when the paper is included in the
proceedings. |
Illustrations, Graphs and Photographs : |
|
Illustrations must appear within the designated margins. They may
span the two columns. If possible, position illustrations at the top
of columns, rather than in the middle or at the bottom. Caption and
number every illustration. All halftone illustrations must be clear
black and white prints. Do not use any colors in illustrations. |
Footnotes : |
|
Use footnotes sparingly (or not at all!) and place them at the
bottom of the column on the page on which they are referenced. Use
Times 9-point type, single-spaced. To help your readers, avoid using
footnotes altogether and include necessary peripheral observations
in the text (within parentheses, if you prefer, as in this
sentence). |
Copyright Forms : |
|
You must include
your fully completed, signed copyright declaration when you submit
your paper. We must have this declaration before your paper can be
published in the proceedings. The copyright declaration is a
statement by the author (s) pronouncing that the material submitted
is original and has not been submitted for presentation or
publication at any other conference. |
Paper Length: |
|
A maximum of six A4
pages are allowed for a paper, with references included in this page
limit. |
References : |
|
List and number all
bibliographical references at the end of the paper. The references
can be numbered in alphabetic order or in order of appearance in the
document. When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding
reference number in square brackets as shown at the end of this
sentence [1].
