1. INTRODUCTION

This describes instructions for the preparation of a camera-ready abstract. Prospective authors should submit a two-page abstract to the PMJ2009 Abstract Submission Office. The abstract will be published as the Digest of papers, which will be available for registrants at the symposium. The abstracts must clearly describe new and significant results and must be prepared strictly following the instruction because the abstracts are printed by the photo-offset method. If the submitted papers are obviously too long for abstract, they will be returned to the authors for shortening.

2. TYPING

The abstract should be neatly typed on A4-size or US letter size(8.5” x 11”) plain white sheets. Type the title on the first line, authors’ name(s) on the third line and addresses on the fourth line. Title, author(s) and address(es) should be typed centered. Begin the texts two lines below the last line of the title/author section.

The second page should be used for indicating figures, tables and photographs. Caption should be typed underneath a figure and above a table.

Typing guidelines are summarized in Table 1.

Sectioning is not always required and isoptional.
