EXTENDED ABSTRACT
This document is a template. An electronic copy can be
downloaded from the conference website. For questions on
paper guidelines, please contact the conference paper
committee as indicated on the conference website.
Information about final paper submission is available from the
conference website.
An easy way to comply with the conference paper
formatting requirements is to use this document as a template
and simply type your text into it.
A. Page Layout
Extended abstract is one to two pages. Your paper must use
a page size corresponding to A4 which is 210mm (8.27") wide
and 297mm (11.69") long. The margins must be set as
follows:
 Top = 19mm (0.75")
 Bottom = 43mm (1.69")
 Left = Right = 14.32mm (0.56")
Your paper must be in two column format with a space of
4.22mm (0.17") between columns.
All paragraphs must be indented. All paragraphs must be
justified, i.e. both left-justified and right-justified.
A. Text Font of Entire Document
The entire document should be in Times New Roman or
Times font. Type 3 fonts must not be used. Other font types
may be used if needed for special purposes.
Recommended font sizes are shown in Table 1.
B. Title and Author Details
Title must be in 24 pt Regular font. Author name must be
in 11 pt Regular font. Author affiliation must be in 10 pt Italic.
Email address must be in 9 pt Courier Regular font.
Every word in a title must be capitalized except for short
minor words such as “a”, “an”, “and”, “as”, “at”, “by”, “for”,
“from”, “if”, “in”, “into”, “on”, “or”, “of”, “the”, “to”, “with”.
Author details must not show any professional title (e.g.
Managing Director), any academic title (e.g. Dr.) or any
membership of any professional organization (e.g. Senior
Member IEEE).
To avoid confusion, the family name must be written as the
last part of each author name (e.g. John A.K. Smith).
Each affiliation must include, at the very least, the name of
the company and the name of the country where the author is
based (e.g. Causal Productions Pty Ltd, Australia).
Email address is compulsory for the corresponding author.
C. Content
The abstract should give a clear indication of the objectives,
scope, results and conclusion of your work. Introduction will
give a background on the subject. Materials and methods will
be presented as applicable followed by results and discussion.
It is recommended to limit the number of references to five.
D. Figures and Tables
One figure and one table can be included in
your extended abstract. Figures and tables must be centered in
the column. Large figures and tables may span across both
columns. Any table or figure that takes up more than 1
column width must be positioned either at the top or at the
bottom of the page.
Graphics may be full color. All colors will be retained on
the PDF. Graphics must not use stipple fill patterns because
they may not be reproduced properly. Please use only SOLID
FILL colors which contrast well both on screen and on a
black-and-white hardcopy, as shown in Fig. 1.

The version of this template is V2. Most of the formatting
instructions in this document have been compiled by Causal
Productions from the IEEE LaTeX style files. Causal
Productions offers both A4 templates and US Letter templates
for LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The LaTeX templates
depend on the official IEEEtran.cls and IEEEtran.bst files,
whereas the Microsoft Word templates are self-contained.
Causal Productions has used its best efforts to ensure that the
templates have the same appearance.
Causal Productions permits the distribution and revision of
these templates on the condition that Causal Productions is
credited in the revised template as follows: “original version
of this template was provided by courtesy of Causal
Productions.
Avoid screen shot and snap shot for tabulation and figures,
if so, all figures should be visible and should not be blurred.
Tabulation should be editable.
example, “NiMn” indicates the intermetallic compound
Ni0.5Mn0.5 whereas “Ni–Mn” indicates an alloy of some
composition NixMn1-x.
Tables and images can be varied in single and double
column format. For small figure you can choose double
column format and for bigger table and graph you can choose
single column format, shown in figure 1.
J. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The heading of the Acknowledgment section and the
References section must not be numbered. Causal Productions
wishes to acknowledge Michael Shell and other contributors
for developing and maintaining the IEEE LaTeX style files
which have been used in the preparation of this template. To
see the list of contributors, please refer to top of file
IEEETran.cls in the IEEE LaTeX distribution.
E. Math
If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation
Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com)
for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New |
Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over text”
should not be selected.
F. Units
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are
strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary
units (in parentheses). This applies to papers in data storage.
For example, write “15 Gb/cm2 (100 Gb/in2).” An exception is
when English units are used as identifiers in trade, such as
“3½ in disk drive.” Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such
as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This
often leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the
units for each quantity in an equation.
The SI unit for magnetic field strength His A/m. However,
if you wish to use units of T, either refer to magnetic flux
density B or magnetic field strength symbolized as µ0H. Use
the center dot to separate compound units, e.g., “A·m2.”
G. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are
used in the text, even after they have already been defined in
the abstract. Abbreviations such as IES, SI, ac, and dc do not
have to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods
should not have spaces: write “C.N.R.S.,” not “C. N. R. S.”
Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are
unavoidable
H. Some Common Mistakes
The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for
the permeability of vacuum µ 0 is zero, not a lowercase letter
“o.” The term for residual magnetization is “remanence”; the
adjective is “remanent”; do not write “remnance” or
“remnant.” Use the word “micrometer” instead of “micron.” 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). Use the word
“whereas” instead of “while” (unless you are referring to
simultaneous events). Do not use the word “essentially” to
mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Do not use the word
“issue” as a euphemism for “problem.” When compositions
are not specified, separate chemical symbols by en-dashes; for
I. Conclusion and Future Enhancement
A conclusion section is not required. Although a
conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not
replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might
elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest
applications and extensions. Include future enhancement.
