1. INTRODUCTION

HIS document provides an example of the desired

layout for the paper and can be used as a template
for Microsoft Word versions 6.0 and later. It contains
information regarding desktop publishing format, type
sizes, and typefaces. Style rules are provided that
explain how to handle equations, units, figures, tables,
abbreviations, and acronyms. Sections are also devoted
to the preparation of acknowledgments, references, and
authors biographies.
2. TECHNICAL PAPER PREPARATION
Please use spell check. Be sure your sentences are
complete and grammatically correct. There is continuity
within your paragraphs. Check the numbering of your
figures & tables and make sure that all appropriate
references are included.

2.1 Format
This document itself may be used as a template for
preparing your paper. Using this document as a
template
is very simple. Just type or cut-paste your material at
proper places.
For example type title of your paper in the title box.
Then replace the existing names of authors by new
names. Type abstract in the given abstract block and so
on.
If you do not want to use this document as a
template, prepare your technical paper in single-spaced,
double-column format, on A4 size paper. Set top,
bottom, left & right margins at about 17 millimeters. Do
not extend text, tables, figures, and equations into the
margins. The space between the two columns is 4
millimeters. Paragraph indentation is 4 millimeters. Use
both sided-justification for text. Use either one or two
spaces between sections, and between text and tables
or figures, to adjust the column length.
2.2 Typefaces and Sizes
Please use a proportional Arial typeface only and
embed all fonts. Table I provides samples of the
appropriate type sizes and styles to use.
Table 1
