1. Introduction
These instructions are intended to help and guide contributing authors and their typists when
preparing the abstracts which will be used for review. You are kindly asked to prepare your
manuscript in Microsoft Word. Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding to type
your manuscript.
2. Format Instructions
Abstracts are limited to two pages, including figures and tables. Margins are to be set to: top,
3.5 cm; bottom, 3 cm; left, 2.8 cm; right, 2.8 cm.
Each page is to be typed in Times New Roman 11-point letter for the main text with at least 12point spacing between the lines. A new paragraph contains a 3-point line spacing before it.
Paragraphs start at the left-hand margin (i.e., not indented).
3. Title and Headings
On the first page, the title of the paper should begin at the first blank line below the conference
heading. Title is written in capital letters.
Headings are to be typed in bold, upper- and lower-case letters, with one line space above the
heading.
4. Tables, Figures, Equations and References
The footnotes, the list of references, and the captions of figures and tables should be typed in
Times New Roman 10-point letter with at least 12-point spacing between the lines. Line spacing
after table and figure headings is at least 12-points.
Skip one line above and below tables. If the table heading extends over one line, continue on the
second and following lines immediately below the first letter of the heading. Insert your table
immediately below the table heading. Use horizontal lines above tables, below column headings,
and below tables. Use capitals for the first letter of column headings. As far as practicable, arrange
the tables in the vertical direction just as in the text. Table 1 is an example of an acceptable table
format.
Skip one line above and below figures. Color figures are accepted. Legends, scales, etc. must be
large enough to be legible. Place figure captions at the bottom of the figures. Start the second and
subsequent lines immediately below the first letter of the caption. Skip one line after each caption.
Give the consecutive numbers for tables and figures, respectively. Figure 1 is an example of an

For references, in the text, the author’s last name should be followed by the year of publication,
e.g. “it has been demonstrated (Cappietti and Chopard, 2006; Tomasicchio and Sancho, 2002) that
…”, or “Cappietti (2011) showed that ….”. In the list of references, arrange authors’ last names in
alphabetical order with 0.5 cm indentation for the second and following lines of each reference.
When two or more references by the same author are listed, the earlier work should appear first.
All references must be cited in the text.
