Abstract
This document provides instructions for authors toprepare the manuscripts for the proceedings of ISCIEInternational Symposium on Stochastic System Theory
and Its Applications. This document (including thisabstract) itself is an example of the desired layout for
camera-ready papers. The guidelines detailed in thisdocument will enable the symposium to maintain uniformity in the ﬁnal proceedings and to avoid additional
publication charges. To ensure high-quality proceedings, the readability of the original manuscript is ofparamount importance. Also, adherence to deadlines iscritical because a signiﬁcant portion of the publication
process is performed sequentially.

1Introduction

The authors should prepare their manuscript for theProceedings following 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 Portable Document
Format (PDF). The size of the electronic ﬁle should notexceed 8MB.
The manuscript should not exceed ten pages (sixpages are recommended), including ﬁgures, tables, photos, references, and appendices.
On A4 paper, the symposium requires a font size of
10 points or greater. Some technical formatting programs print mathematical formulas in italic type, with
subscripts and superscripts in slightly smaller font size.
All manuscripts will be reviewed, and only accepted
ones will appear in the Proceedings.

2Page Size and Format

The authors must prepare their paper in actual size(i.e., exactly how it is to appear in the proceedings) withsingle spacing in two columns. The manuscripts
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 subsequentpages 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.
When the authors submit their manuscript, pleasecheck below.
• Non-English fonts (i.e., Asian fonts) without correct embedment will be substituted automaticallyby a diﬀerent font, which might cause inaccuracy
in the manuscript content. All fonts must be accurately included in the PDF ﬁle as an ”Embedded Subset.”• Secured ﬁles will cause problems in composing theproceedings. Please do not secure the PDF ﬁles.
If the manuscript deviates signiﬁcantly from these
speciﬁcations, it may not be included in the proceedings.

3Manuscript Style

Regarding the styles of the manuscript, please conform to the following instructions.
3.1 Title
The title should be centered across the top of the ﬁrst
page and should be in distinctive point size or font.

3.2 Author’s Names and Address
The authors’ names and addresses should be centered
below the title. These lines should be typed in at least
eleven-point font size, but the particular point sizes andfonts are not critical and are left to the direction of
the authors. Times New Roman 12 point is suggested.
Please include authors’ E-Mail addresses.
3.3 Headings
Main headings are to be column centered in a bold
font without an underline. They may be numbered if
so 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.

tively in square brackets [1].

Page Numbers

Do not write page numbers on the manuscript. These
will be inserted later by the proceedings printer together with the session number and symposium identiﬁcations.

4Conclusions

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.

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 ﬁgures
and tables may span across both columns if necessary.
Figure captions should be placed below the ﬁgures.
