This template should be considered as recommended (NOT mandatory) set of guidelines. 2 Details Following are some details concerning this template. 2.1 Authors and Reviewing The name of all authors, institution/company, address, acknowledgements, etc. are removed after submission which provides anonymous reviewing. After the reviewing process and acceptance of the paper, the authors name, institution/company and address information are re-added to the document. Moreover, authors are prolonged to include the comments of the reviewers to the final paper. 2.3 Number of Pages Papers (starting with the papers title to the end of the list of references) should have a number of not more than 6 pages. 2.4 Language Papers can be written in German or in English. 2.5 General Guidelines Please use either Times, Times New Roman or a familiar font for all text, headings, captions, etc. All text, starting with the abstract, must be in a two-column format. The space between the two columns should be 0,8 cm. 2.6 Regular Text and Headings Please use a font size of 10 pt and single-spaced line pitch for regular text.
