Authors and Affiliations

Formatting the authors names and their affiliation depends on the number of authors and the number of different
affiliations. Both names and affiliations spread over both
columns.

4.1

Authors Names

Papers should be submitted in a 2-column format on 8.5

by 11 inch sheets. Each column is limited to 3 1/4 inches
in width and 8 7/8 inches in length, with a 3/8 inch gutter
between columns. The margins should be 13/16 inch on
the sides, and 11/16 inch on the top and bottom. Even if
you are printing the paper on an A4 page, please specify
that you are printing on a letter page before printing the
paper. Note that the text is bottom flushed, which may lead
to large blanks between paragraphs. Please place and size
your figures to avoid this side effect.

Please mention authors first and last name. There

should be a reasonable amount of space between the author
names (depending on the number of authors). Unless all
authors are from the same institution, their names should
be followed by a distinctive symbol referring to their affiliation address. Use the following symbols: , , , +,
superscripted, yielding , , , + . Center the names on the
page.

Authors affiliations are to be typeset using a table as

represented at the beginning of the document. The number
of columns in the table depends on the number of different affiliations. Introduce the address using the symbols
previously used.

Font

Paper font should be Times (include the

\usepackage{times} command in the preamble
of the document), unless impossible. The default font will
be a European computer modern font.

Abstract

Title

The paper title should be centered and spreading over

two columns. The font should be boldfaced, 14pt.

Abstract is in italics, 10pt. Space between the abstract

and the abstract heading is 12pt. Abstract size should not
exceed 200 words if possible.

Headings

6.1

Section Headings

First letter of each word in the section heading should be

capitalized, excepting typically not capitalized ones (such
as a, not, the, in). Heading is boldfaced, 12pt.
Heading is left justified, vertical space left is 18pt before,
12pt after. Please do not add blank lines by hand.

6.2

Equations

Equations should be right-hand numbered continuously.

For instance:
x2 + y 2 = R 2
(1)
where R is the radius of the circle.
abc = 1.

10

Subsection Headings

First letter of each word in the section heading should

be capitalized. Heading is boldfaced, 11pt. 12pt are left
blank before the heading, 12pt after. Please do not add
blank lines by hand.

(2)

Items and Enumerations

Items are to be introduced with bullets, enumerations

with numbers. Separate items with a full stop (.) if items
are sentences and with semicolons (;) in other cases. For
instance:
first item;

6.2.1

Subsubsection Headings

second item.

Avoid using such headings if possible.

For sentences:
1. This is the first sentence.

Paragraph Text

2. This is the second one.

The text font size should be 10pt. The first line of each
paragraph is indented 12pc.

Figures and Tables

Continue with normal paragraph.

11

Figures and tables are to be centered on the column.

The caption should be placed below both figures and tables. Check that text in the figures and tables is clearly
readable (ideally, 10 pt).
B(10,30)

3. This is the third one.

C(50,30)

Cross-References

All figures and tables should be referred to in the text.

For instance, this is a reference to section 4.2, to figure 1,
and another to table 1. Please do not capitalize the reference (dont write reference to Figure 1 or Table 1).
References to equations depend if the reference is at the
beginning of a sentence. Equation (2) shows that ... but
this is a reference to (2). LATEX provides facilities to make
cross-referencing powerful, using the \label{} (to put a
label) and \ref{} commands (to make a reference).

the reference sample to format your references.

An acknowledgment can be added at the end of the text.
The heading is the same as the section heading, except that
it is not numbered (ISATPAcknowHead).
