+ote that conferences impose strict page limits! so it ill %e
%etter for you to prepare your initial su%mission in the camera
ready layout so that you ill have a good estimate for the
paper length. Additionally! the effort re<uired for final
su%mission ill %e minimal.
,(, +inal Stage
Authors are e1pected to mind the margins diligently.
Conference papers need to %e stamped ith conference data
and paginated for inclusion in the proceedings. If your
manuscript %leeds into margins! you ill %e re<uired to
resu%mit and delay the proceedings preparation in the
process.

It is very important to maintain these margins. They are

include the image! ma&e sure to insert the actual image rather

If you are using /ord, use either the :icrosoft -;uation

0Insert 6 O'<ect 6 Create Ne4 6 :icrosoft -;uation or

Use either ;I as primary units. Other units may %e used as
secondary units 0in parentheses2. This applies to papers in
data storage. For e1ample! rite #*( @%>cm

An e1ception is hen :nglish units are used as identifiers in
trade! such as #?.( in dis& drive.$ Avoid com%ining ;I and
C@; units! such as current in amperes and magnetic field in
oersteds. This often leads to confusion %ecause e<uations do
not %alance dimensionally. If you must use mi1ed units!
clearly state the units for each <uantity in an e<uation.
The ;I unit for magnetic field strength = is A>m. 3oever! if
you ish to use units of T! either refer to magnetic flu1
density B or magnetic field strength sym%oliCed as D0=. Use
the center dot to separate compound units! e.g.! #AEm

Use 3arvard style references 0see at the end of this

"lease note that the references at the end of this document are
in the preferred referencing style. "apers that have not %een
pu%lished should %e cited as #unpu%lished.$ CapitaliCe only
the first ord in a paper title! e1cept for proper nouns and
element sym%ols.
5(3 ''re)iations and crony%s
-efine a%%reviations and acronyms the first time they are
used in the te1t! even after they have already %een defined in
the a%stract. A%%reviations such as IFAC! ;I! ac! and dc do
not have to %e defined. A%%reviations that incorporate periods
should not have spaces6 rite #C.+.,.;.!$ not #C. +. ,. ;.$
-o not use a%%reviations in the title unless they are
unavoida%le 0for e1ample! #IFAC$ in the title of this article2.
5(9 -;uations

+um%er e<uations consecutively ith e<uation num%ers in
parentheses flush ith the right margin! as in 0*2. First use the
e<uation editor to create the e<uation. Then select the
#:<uation$ mar&)up style. "ress the ta% &ey and rite the
e<uation num%er in parentheses. To ma&e your e<uations
more compact! you may use the solidus 0 > 2! the e1p function!
or appropriate e1ponents. Use parentheses to avoid
am%iguities in denominators. "unctuate e<uations hen they
are part of a sentence! as in

e1cept at the %eginning of a sentence6 #:<uation 0*2 is K$
5(5 Other 8eco%%endations
Use one space after periods and colons. 3yphenate comple1
modifiers6 #Cero)field)cooled magnetiCation.$ Avoid dangling
participles! such as! #Using 0*2! the potential as calculated.$
JIt is not clear ho or hat used 0*2.I /rite instead! #The
potential as calculated %y using 0*2!$ or #Using 0*2! e
calculated the potential.$
A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is
punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis 0li&e this2. 0A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated ithin the parentheses.2
Avoid contractions' for e1ample! rite #do not$ instead of
#don8t.$ The serial comma is preferred6 #A! 5! and C$ instead
of #A! 5 and C.$
6. CO+C=U;IO+;
A conclusion section is not re<uired. Although a conclusion
may revie the main points of the paper! do not replicate the

e1tensions.
