Abstract
This document provides instructions for authors for
preparing and submitting the manuscripts for the Proceedings of the 49th ISCIE International Symposium on
Stochastic System Theory and Its Applications. This
document (including this abstract) itself is an example of the desired layout for camera-ready papers. The
guidelines detailed in this document will enable theConference to maintain uniformity in the final proceedings and to avoid additional publication charges. To ensure high-quality proceedings, readability of your original manuscript is of paramount importance. Also, adherence to deadlines is critical because a great portionof the publication process is performed sequentially.

1

Introduction

The manuscript for the Proceedings should be prepared in accordance with the present instructions. TheSymposium Proceedings will be published at the on-line
electronic journal cite J-Stage (Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator, Electronic). Authors
are requested to prepare the camera-ready manuscripts
on A4 paper, written in English, in PDF format. Thesize of the electronic file should not exceed 5MB.
The manuscript should not exceed 10 pages (6 pagesare recommended) including figures, tables, photos, references and appendices. The author who wishes towrite the manuscript more than 10 pages or more than
5MB memory should contact with the SSS’17 Steering
Committee for permission.
On A4 paper, the Conference requires a font size of
10 points or greater. Some technical formatting programs print mathematical formulas in italic type, withsubscripts and superscripts in a slightly smaller fontsize.
In order to assure a high-quality Proceedings, allmanuscripts will be reviewed and only accepted ones
will appear in the Proceedings.

Preparation of Exact Size
Manuscripts

Your paper must be prepared in actual size (i.e., exactly how it is to appear in the proceedings) with single spacing in two columns. To ensure uniformityof appearance for the proceedings, the papers should
conform to the following specifications.
• The top margin of the first page, i.e. the distancefrom the top edge of the paper to the title, shouldbe 30mm.
• The top margins of the second, and the subsequent pages should be 26mm.
• The text should be centered, and both the left
and right margins should be 16mm.
• The column width should be 84mm.
• The space between the two columns is 10mm.
• The bottom margins for all pages should be noless than 26mm.
If your paper deviates significantly from these specifications, it may not be included in the proceedings.

3Manuscript Style

Regarding the styles of your manuscript, please conform to the following instructions.
3.1 Title
The title should be centered across the top of the firstpage and should be in a distinctive point size or font.
3.2 Author’s Names and Address
The authors’ names and addresses should be centered
below the title. It is desirable that these lines are typed
in at least eleven point font size, but the particularpoint sizes and fonts are not critical and are left to thedirection of the authors. Times new Roman 12 point issuggested. Please include your E-Mail address.

3.3 Headings
Main headings are to be column centered in a bold
font without an underline. They may be numbered, ifso desired.
Subheadings should be in a bold font or underlined
lowercase with initial capitals. They should start at theleft-hand margin on a separate line.
Sub-subheadings are to be in a bold font or underlined type. They should be indented and run in at thebeginning of the paragraph.
3.4 Figures and Tables
Figures and photos should be consecutively numbered
like Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Figures should be inserted near theircitation or at the end of the manuscript. Large figuresand tables may span across both columns if necessary.
Figure captions should be placed below the figures.
3.5 References
List and number all references at the end of the paper
as shown below. Number reference citations consecutively in square brackets [1].
3.6 Page Numbers
Do not write page numbers on your manuscript.
These will be inserted later by the proceedings printertogether with the session number and conference identifications.

4Manuscript Submission

Authors are requested to send their manuscripts electronically by July 31, 2017 on the web:
http://sci-sss.org/sss2017/sub/submission.php

5Conclusions

Please make an extra eﬀort to adhere to these guidelines as the quality of the publications depends on you.
Thank you for your cooperation and contribution. We
are looking forward to seeing you at the 49th ISCIE International Symposium on Stochastic Systems Theoryand Its Applications (SSS’17).
