The camera-ready versions of the accepted papers are 8 pages, plus any additional pages needed for references.
Papers are in 2 columns with the overall line width of 6.75 inches (41 picas). Each column is 3.25 inches wide (19.5 picas). The space between the columns is .25 inches wide (1.5 picas). The left margin is 0.88 inches (5.28 picas). Use 10 point type with a vertical spacing of 11 points. Please use US Letter size paper instead of A4.
Paper title is 16 point, caps/lc, bold, centered between 2 horizontal rules. Top rule is 4 points thick and bottom rule is 1 point thick. Allow 1/4 inch space above and below title to rules.
Author descriptions are center-justified, initial caps. The lead author is to be listed first (left-most), and the Co-authors are set to follow. If up to three authors, use a single row of author descriptions, each one center-justified, and all set side by side; with more authors or unusually long names or institutions, use more rows.
Use one-half line space between paragraphs, with no indent.
First level headings are all caps, flush left, bold, and in point size 12. Use one line space before the first level heading and one-half line space after the first level heading.
Second level headings are initial caps, flush left, bold, and in point size 10. Use one line space before the second level heading and one-half line space after the second level heading.
Third level headings are flush left, initial caps, bold, and in point size 10. Use one line space before the third level heading and one-half line space after the third level heading.
\paragraph{Fourth Level Heading}
Fourth level headings must be flush left, initial caps, bold, and Roman type. Use one line space before the fourth level heading, and place the section text immediately after the heading with no line break, but an 11 point horizontal space.
Citations within the text should include the author's last name and year, e.g., (Cheesman, 1985). Be sure that the sentence reads correctly if the citation is deleted: e.g., instead of “As described by (Cheesman, 1985), we first frobulate the widgets,” write “As described by Cheesman (1985), we first frobulate the widgets.”
The references listed at the end of the paper can follow any style as long as it is used consistently.
Indicate footnotes with a number\footnote{Sample of the first footnote.} in the text. Use 8 point type for footnotes. Place the footnotes at the bottom of the column in which their markers appear, continuing to the next column if required. Precede the footnote section of a column with a 0.5 point horizontal rule 1 inch (6 picas) long.\footnote{Sample of the second footnote.}
All artwork must be centered, neat, clean, and legible. All lines should be very dark for purposes of reproduction, and art work should not be hand-drawn. Figures may appear at the top of a column, at the top of a page spanning multiple columns, inline within a column, or with text wrapped around them, but the figure number and caption always appear immediately below the figure. Leave 2 line spaces between the figure and the caption. The figure caption is initial caps and each figure should be numbered consecutively.
Make sure that the figure caption does not get separated from the figure. Leave extra white space at the bottom of the page rather than splitting the figure and figure caption.
All tables must be centered, neat, clean, and legible. Do not use hand-drawn tables. Table number and title always appear above the table. See Table (ref).
Use one line space before the table title, one line space after the table title, and one line space after the table. The table title must be initial caps and each table numbered consecutively.
