Instructions for preparation of Papers and delivery of files for the Conference Proceedings

The Instructions below (for download) include important information on how to prepare and submit your papers. Please read the notes carefully, and follow them precisely. Your paper must be written in English. The layout of your paper should be exactly the same as the master document “Instructions for Preparation of Papers” below. To write your paper, save the document with a new name (use your session code as the name for the document) and use it as a guide and template. Substitute the text with the text of your paper without changing the layout. Do not change font type and size, line spacing, page margins and the structure of this document. Do not insert page numbers and page headers/footers.

• The paper includes the author name and affiliation (full address including country).
• There are no page numbers, or headers and footers, within the paper.
