subscript which must be 10 point Times New Roman. The paper title and all section and subsection headings, including the summary and keywords headings, must be bold. Third orderheadings, table and figure captions, and author affiliation must be italicized and not bold.

INTRODUCTION
There is no limit of length of the papers, however it is recommended to be concise and not toexceed six (6) pages.
Papers are expected to be delivered either on the E-mail or sent on a PC formatted disk,
completely “ camera-ready ” and have to be submitted on “ A4 ” paper size (297 x 210 mm),the top and side margins must be 25 mm and the bottom margin 18 mm. Inside these margins,each page should be completely filled with text except for the first page, where the paper title
starts five 12 point line spaces from the top margin. All other line spaces must be one 12 pointline space, except for before section titles where two line spaces must be inserted. One ormore “ 3.5 in ” floppy disk(s) containing the paper and extended abstract must be submittedwith the following information on the label: paper number, corresponding author; wordprocessor with the version, and if applicable (see below) “ color data ”. The recommended

word processor is: MS WORD, if any other word-processor is used, save the file in a
PostScript format ( .eps for encapsulated PostScript format ).
Presentation of Papers
Technical papers will be presented in parallel sessions of 20 minutes duration, which is alsoinclusive of 5 minutes of questions and general discussion.
BODY OF THE PAPER
Notation, Units and Equations
The extensive use of symbols, abbreviations, acronyms or other special nomenclature should
be minimised. Rather than list them at the beginning of the paper, they must be defined when
first used. SI units must be used throughout the paper, although equivalents in other consistentsystem may be given in parentheses, as shown above.
EquationsAll forms of equations must be typed, centered and numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals as they appear in the text of the paper. The first equation would be referred to in thetext as Eqn 1 and be presented as follows:{Q} = P[g]{u}(1)Tables and Figures
Tables and figures must be integrated with the text and numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals in the order in which reference is made to them in the text of the paper. All captions
must be italicised and centrally located above a table and below a figure. The first table orfigure caption would be referred to in the text as Table 1 or Fig. 1 and be presented as follows:

Table 1 The first table in the paper

Table or Figure

Fig. 1 The first figure in the paper
Papers will be photographically reduce to 77% of original size for printing in book form, so
all the text and details in figures should be large enough to be legible.
The book form of the proceedings will be in black and white, therefore authors who use color

would be referred to in the text as Ref. 1, or simply be cited where appropriate in square
brackets [1].
