The abstract should be typed in a Word document. You can use this sample copy to prepare your abstract.
The title font size should be 14 and the rest of the abstract should be in font size 11 in times new roman.
You can use symbol fonts and equations, and references. If you are inserting a figure, make sure you do not
exceed the 1 page limit. You should not exceed 500 words in total (including title, authors, affiliations and
references). If you are inserting a figure, ensure that the figure is clearly legible. Remember the old Chinese
adage that a good diagram is worth a thousand words but a bad diagram takes a thousand words to explain.
Please choose the primary and the secondary topic (e.g. Primary = D and Secondary = A4 in this case).
References should be numbered as [1], [2], in sequence, in the format below, and placed at the end. They
may be in font size 10. Use accepted journal abbreviations. You do not need to include the article title and
end page number.
The presenting (and hence the corresponding) author must be underlined in the author list; and his/her
email given below.
