  1. Introduction

We hope to create a single, high quality look for all the documents of the conference. For this, we ask that the authors follow simple guidelines stated below.

  1. Page size

The submitted paper should be a camera-ready copy. All material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18 x 23.5 cm (7" x 9.25"), centered on the page, beginning 2.54 cm (1") from the top of the page and ending with 2.54 cm (1") from the bottom. The right and left margins should be 1.9 cm (.75”). The text should be in two 8.45 cm (3.33") columns with a .83 cm (.33") gutter.

  1. Text

3.1Title

The main title should be centered, and in Times Roman 14-point. Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Leave one blank line after the title.

3.2Author name(s) and affiliation(s)

Author name(s) and affiliation(s) are to be centered beneath the title and printed in Times Roman 12-point. Multiple authors may be shown by adding one above the other, with their affiliations below their respective names. Affiliations are centered below each author name. Include e-mail addresses. Follow the author information by one blank line before abstract.

3.3Body Text

Kindly use a 10-point Times Roman font single-spaced. Incase can’t use Times Roman; use other font, as close as possible in appearance to Times Roman. Right margins should be justified, not ragged. Be sure your text is fully justified—that is, flush left and flush right. Please do not place any additional blank lines between paragraphs.

  1. First Order Heading

Same as the above heading, the first order heading should be 12-point bold, Times Roman, with one blank line before the heading.

4.1Second Order Heading

Same as the above heading should be 11-point bold, Times Roman, with one blank line before the heading.

4.1.1 Third Order Heading

Same as the above heading should be 10-point bold, Times Roman, with one blank line before the heading. Same guidelines should be used for the other (lower) order heading.

  1. Illustrations

Tables and figures captions should be 10- point, Times Roman. Callouts should be 10-point, Times Roman. Initially capitalize only the first word of each table and figure caption.

5.1Tables

Table titles are to be centered at the top of the page. Incase of a table wider than one column, don’t reduce to one column. Instead use two columns at the top of the page.

5.2Figures

Figure captions are to be below the figures. Scanned images, e.g., line art, photos, etc., can be used if the output resolution is at least 600 dpi. All figure and illustrations should be in black and white.

  1. Reference and Citations

List and numbered all the references at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically by first author, and referenced by numbers in brackets [1].
