Preparing Final Manuscript Print E-mail

1.   Your paper must be carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling.

 2.  To format your manuscript correctly, see the Page Layout Guideline for the A4 (21 cm x 29.7 cm) 

     paper size.

 3.  All parts of the manuscript should be in two columns format, except the first part of the paper

     which includes the title, the complete list of authors, the abstract, and the list of keywords.

 4.  The paper length should not exceed 8 single-spaced double column pages, including figures and

     tables. Margins of 15 mm should be left around the left, right, and bottom sides of the text. The

     top margin should be 25 mm. 

 5.  The paper should include: 

            (a) Title. 

            (b) Author’s name(s), affiliation, and country. 

            (c) Abstract (maximum 250 words). 

            (d) Keywords (maximum of six).

            (e) The introduction of the paper must be clearly written and should explain the nature of the

                 problem, previous work, purpose and the contribution of the paper. The introduction is

                 assigned number “1”.

            (f)  A conclusion section must be included and should indicate clearly the advantages,

                 limitations, and possible applications. 

            (g) A reference section (see below). 

 6.  The references should be numbered in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. Citations

     in the text should be by number and enclosed in square brackets, e.g. [1]. Where there are more

     than three contributing authors, please list only one and use et al. The following format for

     references should be followed:

          a) Journal papers: authors; paper title (between double quotation marks); title of journal (in

             Italics); volume and number;  inclusive pages; and year; for example:  

             [1] Galton A., “Logic as a Formal Method,” Computer Journal, vol. 35, no. 2, pp. 431-440, 1992. 

          b) Conference papers: authors; paper title (between double quotation marks); title of proceedings

             (in Italics); location; inclusive pages; and year; for example:

             [2] Downey A., “Predicting Queue Times on Space Sharing Computers,” Proc. 11th       

             International Parallel Processing Symposium, Geneva, Switzerland, pp. 209-218, 1997.                            

         c) Books: authors; title (in Italics); publisher; location; and year; for example:   

             [3] Hogger C., Essentials of Logic Programming, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1990.

 7.  All figures should be formatted to fit into, or be reduced to, a single (85 mm) or double (178 mm)

    column width. Line illustration or camera-ready text must be of sufficient quality for publication as

    submitted i.e. clear, clean, sharp and of an even density. Any lettering or text should be in

    proportion to the rest of the figure. Halftones (photographs) should be of sufficient quality with

    respect to detail, contrast and fineness of grain to withstand the unavoidable loss of contrast

    inherent in the printing process.
