1. Abstract
This guideline is a typing sample of paper manuscripts of extended abstract. The manuscripts should be prepared in such a way that
they are directly suited for photo-offset reproduction. Please follow the instruction to insure the uniformity in appearance of the
papers in the Symposium Proceedings.
2. Keywords: Three to five key words should be typed here
(1 empty line)
3. Introduction
The length of each manuscript of the extended abstract is limited to two (2) pages. It is advised to utilize the full space allocated for
each paper. The manuscript must be typed on A4 sheets (length: 297mm; width: 210mm). The left and right margins should be 20mm,
the top and bottom margins are 25mm and 30mm, respectively. The typing area of each page is 242x170mm (9.63x6.69inch). All text
and artwork (including figure captions) should fall within this area. Do not leave any unnecessary space. The page number should not
be typed. The SI system of units should be used in the paper. Please note that the camera-ready short paper manuscripts and the
electronic (WORD FORMAT) document file stored on a 3.5in disk must be received by April 5, 2001 at the latest.
4. Typing
Please use a LASER or LETTER-QUALITY printer and avoid using a dot matrix printer, if possible. The text should be typed in
BLACK color, and typed using Times Roman, or, if not possible, a similar font. The use of 9-point font and single line space for main
text of paper is strongly recommended. Type the title on the top of the first page. There is one empty line space between the title of
paper and the author(s), one empty line between the author(s) and the affiliation(s) of author(s), and one empty line space above the
main headings. Do not leave empty line space between two paragraphs.
(1 empty line)
4.1. Title
The title of the paper should be typed in upper and lower case with 12 point bold typeface. The title should be centered.
4.2. Author's Name
Type the author's name(s) with 9-point bold typeface and in the order of first, middle and last name.
and below the name(s) of the author(s). The author's name(s) should be centered
There is one empty line above
4.3. Affiliation
The affiliation(s) of the author(s) (including city, country and email address) should be typed below the list of authors. The
affiliation(s) should be centered and typed with 9-point plane typeface.
4.4. Abstract
Try to keep the abstract within 10 lines. Do not have references or displayed equations in the abstract. There should be one empty
line between the abstract and the affiliation(s) of author(s).
4.5. Key Words
The key words are necessary for each paper. Try to keep the number of key words within five. There is one empty line below the key
words.
4.6. Heading
The main headings should be numbered as 1., 2., 3., and typed in upper and lower case with 9-point bold typeface and start from left
end of the line. A main heading should have one line space above it. The secondary headings, if necessary, should be typed in upper
and lower case with 9 point normal typeface. The secondary headings should be numbered as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. There is one line space
above the secondary heading but no space below it.
4.7. Equation
All equations must be set or clearly typed and consecutively numbered. Refer to equations in the text as Eq.(1), Eq.(2). All equations
should be centered. Displayed equations should be numbered simply as (1), (2), (3). The numbers should appear at the extreme right
of the line in parentheses.

4.8. Tables and Figures
Tables and figures should be consecutively numbered. Place table titles above the tables and figure captions below the figures. Allow
one line space between the table and its title and between the figure and its caption. Allow one line of space between the table or
figure and the adjacent text. Table(s) should be Three-line table(s).
