1. INTRODUCTION
The paper should contain the following sections as appropriate: INTRODUCTION,
MATERIALS, EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE, RESULTS, DISCUSSION (or

space (Author style), as shown in this template. Authors' affiliation(s) should be centered in 11pt
font (Affiliation style). An 11pt space separates the different affiliations, by use of a blank line.
The word ABSTRACT is all capitals and bold, above the first line of text with 12pt space
above and 6pt space below (HEADING 1 style). The text of the abstract is indented 6.3 mm

2. MATERIALS
2.1
Main headings
The main headings are written left aligned, in 12pt, bold and all capital Times New Roman

consecutively and captioned. The figure is centered and is separated from the text by 12 pt space
(Figure style) The caption title is written centered, in 11pt Times New Roman italic fonts, as
shown in Figure 1 (Figure Caption style). The word Figure and the number should be bold. The
conference proceedings will be printed in black & white. If colored figures are used, please
ensure that the figures are comprehensible when printed on a black & white printer.
Figure 1. Linz is located between Vienna and Salzburg, directly at the danube. A 6pt space should
separate the Figure from the caption, and a 12pt space should separate the upper part of the figure and
the bottom of the caption from the surrounding text (Figure Caption style).
