Abstract
This document describes the format instructions for papers for the International
Conference on Computational Methods (ICCM2010). It is our goal to be relatively
flexible in the format, yet maintain a reasonable degree of consistency between papers in
the final proceedings. This document is available at the conference web site
(http://dmvb.hnu.cn/ICCM2010) in both PDF and WinWord format.
Keywords: Suggest approximately 4 – 6 keywords for indexing purposes.
Introduction
The papers for the International Conference on Computational Methods to be held at
Zhangjiajie, China, Nov 19-21, 2010, will be published in Proceedings that will be
distributed at the Conference. This document describes, and is formatted in, the desired
format for the ICCM 2010 papers. Email submissions are strong encouraged in PDF
format at chenyu@hnu.edu.cn. Alternatively, hardcopies can be mailed to the conference
secretariat. Ms Jenny Chen, Office 304, College of Mechanical & Vehicle Engineering,

in 10 pt italic Times New Roman (left justified)
4. Title: 14 pt bold Times New Roman, centered.
5. Authors Affiliation: One blank line after the title, then a line with the author
name(s) in normal type, followed by an affiliation line in italics, and a third line

centered below the figure as shown in the example below.
10. Tables: As with Figures, but with caption centered above the table.
11. Equations: Centered, with equation number at the right, one blank line above and
below
12. Units: SI units are preferred
13. References: 10 pt times. References should appear at the end of the paper as shown below.
Citations in the text of the paper should use author last names and the year; for example, “… in
previous work by the authors (Liu, 2002; Liu and Han, 2003)” or “… as shown in the work by Liu
and Han (2001, 2002).”
