PREPARATION OF PAPERS
The instructions are the same for paper submission
for the review process, and for camera-ready
versions. The instructions are meant to be taken
literally for the final paper submission, to ensure high
quality of the proceedings.
The paper should clearly and concisely state the
specific results of the work, why it is important, and
how it differs from prior works by the authors or by
others. The main results of the work must be clearly
indicated. Do not submit work that has already been
presented at another conference, or that has already
been published. Submissions from academia as well
as from industry are encouraged.
2.1 Paper Format
Please strictly follow these specifications when
preparing the final version of the manuscript. Papers
not complying with it (especially in layout geometry
and typesetting) will not be included in the
proceedings.
2.1.2 Typesetting
10pt size font should be used for the body of the
paper.
2.1.3 Title and author name(s)
The paper title and the author names appear on the
first page and should be set centered across the full
page width. The title is set in 18pt bold letters. The
author names appear below the title in 13pt size,
normal face. The complete affiliations of the authors
(with e-mail addresses) should be in 11pt size.
2.1.4 Abstract
The paper should start with an abstract giving a short
overview on the discussed matter and the presented
results. The abstract should be set using 9pt, bold
face font. It should not exceed 15 lines.
2.1.5 Section headings
The section and subsection headings appear in 10pt,
bold face. They are aligned on the left of a column.
Sections and subsections are numbered using Arabic
numbers. Section headings should be capitalized.
First paragraph of each section and subsection
should not be indented.
2.1.6 Figures and tables
Figures should be numbered in the order of
appearance in the paper. Figures should be positioned
within a single column or they can span two columns.
In the latter case they should be placed at the top of a
page.
Figure and table captions should be placed below
the corresponding figures and tables (see Fig. 1 and
Table 1). The captions are centered within a column.
2.1.1 Page layout
The paper should be composed using the A4 paper
size (210mm x 297mm). The left and right margins
should be 25mm, while the top and bottom margins
should be 30mm. All the material should fit within a
rectangle of 160mm x 237mm.
The paper should be set in two columns with 4mm
column separation.
Pages should be without page numbers.

Figures and tables should be placed as close as
possible to the text where they are first referenced to.
------------ additional instructions ----------------------Text and figures should be in black and white !!

2.1.7 Equations
Equations are centered within columns. They may
have a reference number placed on the right. The
reference number should be enclosed in parentheses.
For example see equation (1).

2.1.8 References
A list of references should appear at the end of
paper as a separate unnumbered section.
References should be listed in the order
appearance in the paper. Use square brackets for
reference list and when referring to references in
text, e.g. [3].
For other features of paper layout, including
spacing see the example files.

You are asked to limit the manuscript to six pages. To
estimate the length of a manuscript, assume about 850
to 900 words per published page. Each figure or table
will generally occupy one-fourth to one-third of a page.

For various word processor files the layout
appears to be printer dependent. As a consequence a
word processor file that is well formatted for your
printer can be badly formatted for our PDF-printer.
Using Adobe Acrobat PDF-Writer as your default
printer, when creating your document, can circumvent
this problem. Printing to Adobe Acrobat PDF-Writer
will create a PDF-file of your document. PDF-files can
be opened by PDF-reader. The layout then appears to
be printer independent.
For authors having Adobe Acrobat PDF-Writer
installed:
 Set PDF-Writer as your default printer before
formatting your document.
 Format the document as previously described
 Please check the following settings of the Acrobat
PDFWriter:
Page set-up:
Page size: A4
Format:
Portrait
Graphics: Resolution: 600 dpi
Scaling:
100%
Acrobat PDFWriter font embedding:
 Embed all fonts
Acrobat PDFWriter compression:
 General settings:
 Compress text and vector graphics
 Recalculate graphics
Colour / greyscale images:
 Compression with JPEG low
B/W images:
 Compression with CCITT group 4
Remark:
Your document should be formatted for A4 paper
format before creating the Pdf file of the document.
Do not create your document on "letter format"
paper and try to resize it for A4 paper. The editors
have learned in previous years that this can give
severe problems in creating the proceedings
