\section{Introduction}
These are typesetting instructions for authors for all IASTED conference
proceedings.
\section{Format and Layout}
\subsection{General Requirements}
Correctly formatting your paper is critical. Please read all the instructions
carefully. Most of this formatting will be done automatically if you use this
template and the accompanying style file {\tt iasted.sty}.
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Language:} English (check carefully for correct grammar and
spelling)
\item {\bf Maximum Length:} 8 pages. There are extra page charges for
each page over the page limit. Please consult the registration form
for specific charges.
\item {\bf Paper Size:} Letter (8.5" by 11" or 21.6 by 27.9 cm) Note:
A4 electronic size will not be accepted. If A4 parameters appear before
letter size parameters in your {\tt config.ps} file, then your .ps and .pdf
files may be produced in A4 format even if your .tex file specifies
letter size. {\tt pdflatex} may produce A4 format regardless of any
parameter specifications in your TeX file. The most reliable method
to produce letter size output is to use {\tt latex} and {\tt dvips}
to make the postscript (.ps) file, and then use Adobe Acrobat Distiller
to produce the .pdf file. In the Distiller, use ``Settings/Job Options'' to make sure that the paper
size is set to 8.5 by 11 inches. When using {\tt dvips}, letter-size output
should be produced by the command
\newline {\tt dvips filename -t letter -Pwww}\newline
but this is not completely reliable.
\item {\bf Font:} Times New Roman {\em Please Note: If you are using Microsoft Word, font must be Times New Roman throughout the document. If you are using LaTeX, however, font setting must be left untouched as they are included in the IASTED template.}
\item {\bf Line Spacing:} Single-spaced, 5-space paragraph indentation.
\item {\bf Margins:}
\begin{itemize}
\item First Page - 1.25" (3.2 cm) on Top, 0.75" (1.9 cm) on
Bottom, Right, and Left
\item Subsequent Pages - 0.75" (1.9 cm) on all four sides
\item Space Between Columns - 0.5" (1.25 cm)
\end{itemize}
\item {\bf Justification:} Full
\item {\bf Headers and Footers:} None
\item {\bf Page Numbering:} None
\end{itemize}

\item {\bf Title:} 16 words maximum, {\Large 14 point type size}, UPPERCASE, {\bf bold},
centered over two columns of body text
\item {\bf Author Information:} Name, affiliation and country - 10 point type
size, centered under the title.
%%\item {\bf Paper:}
%% \begin{itemize}
%% \item Headings - 12 point type size uppercase and lowercase bold,
%% aligned with left margin
%% \item Text Size - 10 point type size, upper and lower case
%% \item Columns - 2 columns, 0.50" space between columns
%% \end{itemize}
\item {\bf Abstract:} Maximum 200 words clearly outlining the contribution of your paper.
\item {\bf Keywords:} Maximum of 6 words.
\item {\bf Introduction:} Clearly explain the nature of
the problem, previous work, purpose, and contribution of the paper.
\item {\bf Body of Paper:}
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Headings} - 12 point type size uppercase and lowercase bold,
aligned with left margin
\item {\bf Subheadings} - 10 point type size uppercase and lowercase bold,
aligned with left margin
\item {\bf Indentation} - The first paragraph of every section should not be indented, but
every subsequent paragraph should
\item {\bf Text Size} - 10 point type size, upper and lower case
\item {\bf Columns} - 2 columns, 0.50" space between columns
\item {\bf Tables and Graphs} - type size 8 point minimum, line
thickness minimum .013" or .30 mm, captions - upper and lower case,
centered over 1 or 2 columns of body text
\item {\bf Illustrations and Photographs} - halftones, type
size 8 point minimum, captions - upper and lower case, centered over
1 or 2 columns of body text
\item {\bf Diagrams and Images} must be computer-designed and
submitted as embedded images in your document (postscript or MS Word
format). Digitized photographs in 256 greyscale are recommended.
Colour images are acceptable but the author must ensure they appear clearly when printed in black and white.
\item {\it Note:} - {\it All images, photographs, and illustrations have to be in PRINT resolution (high resolution 300dpi) in order for them to print}
\end{itemize}
\item {\bf Conclusion:} Should clearly indicate advantages, limitations and
possible applications
\item {\bf Acknowledgements:}
A brief acknowledgement section may be included between the Conclusion and
References (optional). Do not include author biographies.
