Most of the common U.S. word processing program formats are acceptable. If provided in one of these forms we are able to load the papers into our <I>Corel Ventura </I>Publisher desktop publishing program, and prepare all papers in the same format. This makes a much more attractive book than is possible with other methods available to us. We would still require camera-ready artwork and/or glossy prints of all figures/illustrations used in the paper. Please note that all illustrations will be printed in black and white. We do not print illustrations in color for the proceedings. A printout of the entire paper should be provided for our reference. </FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="2" FACE="Times New Roman"> For those papers which contain numerous mathematical equations, we prefer to have a camera-ready copy�ready for printing�since our system may not transfer complex mathematics files. Simply submit your entire paper in camera-ready form as illustrated and explained in these format instructions. Please note that these instructions are prepared in the proper format. </FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="2" FACE="Times New Roman"> An abstract of the paper should be provided and typed single space, with a column width of 4.5 inches (approx. 11.5 cm). It should not exceed one page in length. The abstract should state the problem and indicate the purpose of the paper, the approach taken, and also the nature of results or conclusions that can be expected. It should tell enough about the paper to permit the reader to decide whether the subject is of specific interest to him. The abstract is single space. </FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Times New Roman"><B> INTRODUCTION </B></FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Times New Roman"> The title of the paper (on the first page) starts one inch (2.54 cm) below the beginning of the standard page. The paper should be typed/printed on blank paper in the proper format. For type face, we prefer to have typeset quality print (10-12 point). Computer equipment using programs capable of producing near-typeset quality (10-12 point) are also excellent for our purposes (e.g. laser printers). If neither of the above can be provided, letter quality print using fonts similar to this instruction sample are satisfactory (Times New Roman). For long papers it is recommended that 10 point (as opposed to 11 or 12 point) print be used to keep the paper down to the 20 page limit. Column width is 6 inches (15.25 cm) and column length is 8.75 inches (22.25 cm). Margins are as follows: Top�0.75 inch (19 mm); Bottom�1.5 inches (38 mm); Left�1.5 inches (38 mm); Right�1 inch (25 mm). The right-hand margin need not be justified but should nevertheless be fairly even. Copy should be single space�indented with double space between paragraphs. Major headings are all caps, bold and flush left. Numbering of sections and paragraphs should be avoided. </FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Times New Roman"><B> BODY OF REPORT </B></FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Times New Roman"><B> Format of Text </B></FONT></P> <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Times New Roman"> Secondary headings are caps and lower case; they are flush left and bold.
