AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Please follow the steps outlined below when submitting your paper to the CTIS'98
workshop.
ALL MANUSCRIPTS MUST BE IN ENGLISH.
PAGE AND COLUMN LAYOUT.
Start the first page in a one-column format. Center your title about 3 lines
down from the normal top of the print area. Follow the title with two blank
lines. The author name(s) and affiliation(s) are next, centered beneath the
title and followed by two blank lines.
Your Abstract and the remainder of the paper are to be in a two-column format
(except for figures or tables that may span both columns if necessary). If the
last page is not filled, please divide the data into two equal columns.
Columns in the two-column format are to be 3-1/4 inches wide (approx. 8.5 cm),
with a 3/8-inch (approx. 1.0 cm) space between columns, for a total print area
width of 6-7/8 inches (approx. 17.5 cm). The length of the print area of any
page must not exceed 8-7/8 inches (approx. 22.5 cm).
TYPE STYLE AND SIZE OF TEXT.
Normal text is to be single spaced in 10-point Times or Times Roman (or similar
font), with 12-point interline spacing, in the two-column format. The first line
of each paragraph is to be indented approximately 1/4 inch (approx. 0.7 cm), and
the entire text is to be justified -- that is, flush left and flush right.
Please do not place additional line spacing between paragraphs. Figure and table
captions should be Helvetica 10-point boldface; callouts should be Helvetica
9-point nonboldface.
ABSTRACTS.
The Abstract should be approximately 150 words or fewer, italicized, in 10-point
Times (or Times Roman). Please leave two spaces between the Abstract and
the heading of your first section.
TITLE AND HEADINGS.
The main title should be in Times (or Times Roman) 14-point boldface centered
over both columns. In the main title, please initially capitalize nouns,
pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate
conjunctions, and prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word).
Initially capitalize only the first word in first-, second-, and third-order
headings. Leave two blank lines before author names(s)/affiliation(s).
AUTHOR NAME(S)/AFFILIATION(S)
are to be centered in Times (or Times Roman) 12-point nonboldface. Leave two
blank lines before your Abstract.
ABSTRACT HEADING.
The abstract heading is to be 11-point boldface, initially capitalized and
centered within the column.
FIRST-ORDER HEADINGS.
First-order headings (for example, 1: Introduction) are to be Times 12-point
boldface, flush left, with one blank line before, and one blank line after.
SECOND-ORDER HEADINGS.
Second-order headings (for example, 1.1: Database elements) are to be Times
11-point boldface, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after. If
you require a third-order heading (we discourage it), then it is to be in Times
10-point boldface, preceded by one blank line, and followed by a period and text
on same line.
FOOTNOTES.
Use footnotes sparingly and place them at the bottom of the column in which they
are referenced (not full width across two columns). Use Times 8-point type with
10-point interline spacing for footnotes. To help readers, avoid footnotes
altogether and include necessary peripheral observations in your text (within
parentheses, if you prefer, as in this sentence).
REFERENCES.
List and number all bibliographical references at the end of your paper in
9-point Times, with 10-point interline spacing. When referenced within
the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for example [1].
