|
Headers, Footers or Page numbers: Do not include headers, footers or page numbers in your submission. These will be added when the publications are assembled. |
|
Major sections: Each major section begins with a Heading in 10-point size font centered within the column and numbered using Roman numerals (except for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and REFERENCES). |
|
Subsections: Denote subsections with left justified 10-point Italic. Order them with capitalized alphabetic characters (A, B,...) |

To simultaneously cite these references [1]-[3] use the format just demonstrated. The reference list is the last section and references are listed in the order cited. |
|
When generating PDF format, use Acrobat distiller to create at least the press quality PDF files. Do not use Adobe Acrobat Writer to create the file. Please always choose the following options:
|
All fonts should be embedded (Very important!): Please be sure that you embed all fonts that are being used. If you do not embed fonts, the PDF reader will substitute whatever fonts it thinks appropriate on the reader's computer, and that can result in significant differences between your intended output and what the reader observes (particularly with symbol and multilanguage fonts). To embed fonts when using Acrobat Distiller:
1. Start Acrobat Distiller.
2. Go to the Settings menu and select Job Options.
3. Select the Fonts tab and select Embed All Fonts.
4. Click OK.

600dpi resolution (minimum): For graphics it is best to use EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files rather than bitmaps, GIFs, or JPEG images. |
After the Secretariat receives your paper(s), a paper ID will be issued and be informed to you by e-mail. If you do not receive this confirmation e-mail within two days after submitting your paper, please contact the Secretariat below.
Your submitted paper(s) will be perused by the Technical Program Committee and be determined whether it will be accepted or not by mid-end December 2005. We will notify the results via e-mail.
