Abstract:Guidelines for preparing papers for the conference. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. The electronic file of your paper will be formatted further by PMC. The length of Abstract should not be more than 200 words: covering the aims of the work, methods used, results obtained and conclusions reached. Page margins are 2.5 cm top and down; 2.5 cm left and right. Do not cite references in the abstract.

Keywords—About four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

1-Introduction

This document is a template for Word (doc) versions. Do not change the font sizes or line spacing to squeeze more text into a limited number of pages. Use italics for emphasis; do not underline. To insert images in Word, position the cursor at the insertion point and either use Insert.The language of the Proceedings is English and the preferred spellings are those of the Oxford English Dictionary.Papers should be written in the third person in an objective, formal and impersonal style.Manuscripts should be typed, with 1.5 spacing throughout (including references), on A4 size paper, leaving ample margins. A list of captions for the illustrations and each table should be typed separately. Body of the paper should be organized into logical sections, sequentially numbered with no more than two grades of subheadings. Lengthy mathematical proofs and derivations should be given in an appendix.

2-Procedure for Paper Submission

Tables: these should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. List of notation, in alphabetical order, defining all the symbols used in the paper.

List of captions for the illustrations which should also be numbered consecutively throughout the text; both line drawings and photographs must be included in the same numbering sequence.

SI units should be used wherever possible. Symbols for physical quantities should be in italic (sloping) type. Mathematical operators and constants (sin, e, d, log, π, . . . ) and symbols for units (m, kg, s, . . . ) should be in roman (upright) type. Vectors should be in bold italic type (A) and matrices in bold upright type (A). If this is not possible then they should be indicated by a wavy line. Further details are given in the Guide to the Preparation of Papers, or ISO 31 and BS 5775.

Type the reference list at the end of the paper. References should in the order to which they have been referred in the text. For example: The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [1]. When citing a section in a book, please give the relevant page numbers [2]. Give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.” unless there are six authors or more. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols.

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1).

Place figure captions below the figures; place table titles above the tables. Please do not include captions as part of the figures. Do not put captions in “text boxes” linked to the figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your figures. Use the abbreviation “Fig.” even at the beginning of a sentence.

Conclusion

A conclusion section is not required. Although a conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications and extensions.
