Abstract
In this paper, basic instructions for preparation of a paper for 12th international conference of CSI are
presented. This document contains information about all formats, fonts, the styles and sizes. All required 'Styles'
such as titles, subtitles, abstract, body and etc. are predefined, and so there is no need to define a new one. Just
select the appropriate style with respect to different sections of a paper. Please note that the CSICC’08
committee has the right to reject any paper not according the predefined styles without further inspections.
The abstract part is limited to 200 words in one or two paragraphs. It should concisely state what was done,
how it was done, why, and what is the primary result and its significance. The abstract cannot contain details,
figures, tables, equations, or references.
Keywords
Up to 10 keywords shall be provided as index terms.
1. Introduction
This document provides an example of the desired layout
for a CSICC’08 paper and can be used as a template for
Microsoft Office Word 2002 and later. It contains
information regarding desktop publishing format, type
sizes, and typefaces. Style rules are provided to explain
how to handle equations, units, figures, tables,
abbreviations, and acronyms. Sections are also devoted to
the preparation of appendixes, acknowledgments,
references.
2. Formatting your paper
Please use automatic hyphenation and check your
spelling. Additionally, be sure your sentences are
complete and that there is continuity within your
paragraphs. Check the numbering of your graphics and
make sure that all appropriate references are included.
then type over sections of the document, cut and paste
into it (Edit | Paste Special | Unformatted Text), and/or
use markup styles. The pull-down style menu is at the left
of the Formatting Toolbar at the top of your Word
window (for example, the style at this point in the
document is "Text1"). Highlight a section that you want
to designate with a certain style, then select the
appropriate name on the style menu.
2.2. Layout
The abstract is to be typed in a one-column, single-space
format, while the paper main body should be typed in a
double-column, single-space format, on A4 paper size.
Set top and bottom margins to 2.5 centimeters and left
and right margins to 2.5 centimeters. Do not violate
margins (i.e., text, tables, figures, and equations may not
extend into the margins). The column width is 8.2
centimeters. The space between the two columns is 0.6
centimeters. Paragraph indentation is 0.5 centimeters
(except for the first paragraph of each section).
2.1. Template
This document may be used as a template for preparing
your technical work. When you open the file, select
"Print Layout" from the "View" menu (View | Print
Layout), which allows you to see the footnotes. You may
3. Styles
All required "Styles" are predefined, and so there is no
need to define a new one. Just select the appropriate style
with respect to different sections of a paper.
3.1. Title and Author(s)
The title should be short (at most 15 words) and
indicative of the paper content. It should be written in
"Times New Roman" font. The font size must be 18 (bold
& centered). Select "Title" style for the main title.
Author names and affiliations are to be centered
beneath the title and printed in Times New Romans 11point, non-boldface type ("Author" style). Author
affiliations follow author names and printed in Times
New Romans 10-point, non-boldface type ("Affiliation"
style). The template is designed so that author affiliations
are not repeated each time for multiple authors of the
same affiliation. Please keep your affiliations as succinct
as possible (for example, do not differentiate among
departments of the same organization). This template was
designed for two affiliations.
text and the number in tables and figures must be suitable
to allow high legibility. Do not use any type of shading in
computer generated illustrations. Figure and table
captions should be 9-point boldface Times New Roman
("Figure Caption" style). Initially capitalize only the first
word of each figure caption and table title. Figures and
tables must be numbered separately.
Fig. 1. Example of a figure caption
The abstract is to be in fully-justified italicized text,
below the author information. Use the word "Abstract" as
the title, in 13-point Times New Roman, boldface type,
initially capitalized ("Heading 0" style). The abstract is to
be in 10-point, single-spaced type, and boldface type
("Abstract" style for 1st paragraph, and "Abstract2" for
the 2nd one). Use the same styles for Keywords.
Large figures and tables may span both columns, but
may not extend into the page margins. Arrange these one
column figures and tables at either top or end of a page,
or at the end of the paper right before the references.
All figures and tables must appear near, but not
before, their first mention in the text. Use the
abbreviation "Fig. 1", even at the beginning of a sentence.
Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when
writing figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader.
As an example, write the quantity "Magnetization", or
"Magnetization, M", not just "M". If including units in
the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label
axes only with units. In the example, write
"Magnetization (A/m)" or "Magnetization {A[m(1)]}",
not just "A/m". Do not label axes with a ratio of
quantities and units. For example, write "Temperature
(K)", not "Temperature/K".
3.3. Main Text
3.6. Equations
Type your main text in 10-point Times, single-spaced. Do
not use double-spacing. All paragraphs should be
indented 0.5 centimeter, except for the first paragraph of
each section. Select "Text1" and "Text" styles for first
and rest paragraphs of each section, respectively. Be sure
your text is fully justified—that is, flush left and flush
right. Please do not place any additional blank lines
between paragraphs.
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers
in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First
use the equation editor to create the equation. Then select
the "Equation" markup style. Write the equation number
in parentheses using Insert | Caption.
Use the Microsoft Equation Editor for all math
objects in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New |
Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). "Float over
text" should not be selected.
To make your equations more compact, you may use
the slash ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents.
Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but
not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen
for a minus sign. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in
denominators. Punctuate equations when they are part of
a sentence, as in
3.2. Abstract and Keywords
3.4. Section Headings
A section heading is enumerated by an Arabic numeral
followed by a period and is flushed left above the section.
The first letter of each important word is capitalized. A
primary section heading should be 13-points boldface
Times New Roman ("Heading 1" style).
As in this heading, a secondary section heading
should be 12-poind boldface Times New Roman
("Heading 2" style).
3.4.1. Third Section Headings
A tertiary section heading, as in this paragraph, should be
11-poind boldface Times New Roman ("Heading 3"
style).
A quaternary section heading is rarely necessary, but
is perfectly acceptable if required. It is not enumerated
and should be in normal text style, and boldface type.
3.5. Figures and Tables
Each figure or table must have a number and a caption. In
figures, the number and caption appear under the figure
while in the tables, they appear over it. The size of the

(1).
Number equations consecutively with equation
numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in
(1). Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been
defined before the equation appears or immediately
following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to
temperature, but T is the unit Tesla). Use Insert |
Reference | Caption to number equations. Refer to "(1),"
not "Eq. (1)" or "equation (1)," except at the beginning of
a sentence: "Equation (1) is ...". Use two column tables to
locate equations and their numbers properly in one line,
as follows:
 J 3E A

I F  I B   I C  A I A1  AI A 2  I A0 
Z1  Z 2

3.7. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are
used in the text, even after they have been defined in the
abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc,
dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use
abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are
unavoidable.


In your paper title, if the words "that uses" can
accurately replace the word "using", capitalize the
"u"; if not, keep using lower-cased.
Be aware of the different meanings of the
homophones "affect" and "effect", "complement" and
"compliment", "discreet" and "discrete", "principal"
and "principle".
Do not confuse "imply" and "infer".
The prefix "non" is not a word; it should be joined to
the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen.
There is no period after the "et" in the Latin
abbreviation "et al.".
The abbreviation "i.e." means "that is", and the
abbreviation "e.g." means "for example".
3.8. References and Citations
Appendix
Number reference citations consecutively in square
brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the
brackets [2]. Use commas for multiple citations like this
[3,4]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. Do
not use "Ref. [3]" or "reference [3]" except at the
beginning of a sentence: "Reference [3] shows…".
List and number all bibliographical references in 9point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper
("REF" style).
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors'
names; do not use "et al.". Papers that have not been
published, even if they have been submitted for
publication, should be cited as "unpublished" [4]. Papers
that have been accepted for publication should be cited as
"in press" [5]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper
title, except for proper nouns and element symbols. For
papers published in translation journals, please give the
English citation first, followed by the original foreignlanguage citation [6].
Appendixes,
if
needed,
appear
before
the
acknowledgment. Subsections for this part also should be
numbered by alphabets.
4. Some Common Mistakes
Be aware of these common mistakes:
 The word "data" is plural, not singular.
 The subscript for the permeability of vacuum µ0, and
other common scientific constants, is zero with
subscript formatting, not a lowercase letter "o".
 In American English, commas, semi-/colons, periods,
question and exclamation marks are located within
quotation marks only when a complete thought or
name is cited, such as a title or full quotation. When
quotation marks are used, instead of a bold or italic
typeface, to highlight a word or phrase, punctuation
should appear outside of the quotation marks. A
parenthetical phrase or statement at the end of a
sentence is punctuated outside of the closing
parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is
punctuated within the parentheses.)
 A graph within a graph is an "inset", not an "insert".
The word alternatively is preferred to the word
"alternately" (unless you really mean something that
alternates).
 Do not use the word "essentially" to mean
"approximately" or "effectively".
