may be leading to journal publication. Preference will be given to
authors willing to demonstrate their soft or hardware at the
Symposium.
Size and Text Type
Abstracts must be A4 (size 210 mm x 297 mm) pages printed on white
bond paper within a 250 mm high and 150 mm wide rectangle. If
possible, the text should be printed with 12-point Times font. Please
do not hyphenate words at the end of lines.
Headings
The headings must include the title in capital letters, the author(s)
and affiliation(s) including city and country. The heading is to be

omit degrees, titles, street addresses and zip codes.
Paragraphs and Headings
Please do not leave blank lines between paragraphs. The first line of
each new paragraph must be indented. Only SI units are to be
employed. Figures must remain inside of the text region and they
should be attached with tape, not glued. Each figure must have a
number with a short caption beneath. Authors are advised not to refer
to limited circulation documents such as graduate theses.
Format
Abstracts may be submitted in the following format:
- a file on a 3.5" (1.44MB) DOS-formatted floppy disk. WordPerfect,
Word for Windows and TeX text processing systems are preferred
- a good quality printed paper in the format outlined above
