ABSTRACT
The abstract should
summarize the content of a paper. Try to keep the abstract size below
200 words. Do not have references or displayed equations in the
abstract. The conference Proceedings will be printed by photo-offset
from the same-sized copy prepared by you. Your manuscript should
be printed on A4 paper (21.0 cm x 29.7 cm) using a high
quality laser printer. It is imperative that the margins and style
described below be adhered to carefully. This will enable us to
maintain uniformity in the final printed copies of the Proceedings.
Please keep in mind that the manuscript you prepare will be photographed
and printed as it is received. Readability of copy is of paramount
importance.

1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
There
is a limit of 6 pages for each paper in the Proceedings.
At most 2 additional pages can be included, as long as you pay
the fee of US$ 60.00 per extra page. One soft copy
with pdf & doc documents and all figures separately in
separate files in word version as well as in PDF version(for
the convenience to publication) of the camera ready manuscript
is to be sent to the email address below.The paper's submitting
deadline is 29 February,2004.
One
hard copy of the camera ready manuscript is to be sent to the
postal address below as receiving our accepted paper notifying(be
sure to fill out and send your Copyright
Transfer form with
your camera-ready manuscript). The deadline for receipt of your
camera-ready manuscript and Copyright Transfer form is June
30th 2004.
2. PREPARATION
OF MANUSCRIPTS
General Appearance
The text must be in English. The submitted typeset scripts of
each contribution must be in their final form and of good appearance
because they will be printed directly without any editing. It
is essential that the "camera-ready copies" be absolutely clean
and unfolded. The copy should be evenly printed on a high
quality (300 dots/inch or higher) laser printer. There should
not be corrections made on the printed pages. Ensure that adhesive
tape does not cover any typeset lettering. Your paper must be
printed actual size (exactly how it is to appear in the Proceedings)
in two columns. The document you are reading is printed in
the format
that should be used in your paper.
Specifications
As part of the printing process your document will be photographed.
To ensure that this can be done with one camera setting for all
papers and to ensure uniformity of appearance for the Proceedings,
your paper should conform to the following specifications. If
your paper deviates significantly from these specifications, the
printer may not be able to include your paper in the Proceedings.
1) On the first page, the distance from the top edge of the paper
to the top of the first line of type (the title) should be 3.0
cm.
2) On the second and subsequent pages, the distance from the top
edge of the paper to the top of the first line of type should
be 2.5 cm.
3) The left and right margins should be 2.0 cm.
4) The width of each column should be 8.0 cm.
5) The distance between the two columns of text should be 1.0
cm.
6) The distance from the top edge of the paper to the bottom of
the last line of type on the page should be no more than 25.4
cm.
3. RECOMMENDED
POINT SIZES
We recommend a font
of 9 points or greater. This document is set in 9-point Times.
If absolutely necessary, we suggest the use of condensed line
spacing rather than smaller point sizes. Some technical formatting
programs print mathematical formulas in italic type, with subscripts
and superscripts in a slightly smaller font size. This is acceptable.
4. HEADINGS
Major headings are
to be column flushed-left in a bold font or in capitals without
underline. They may be numbered, if so desired. "4. HEADINGS"
at the top of this paragraph is a major heading.
Subheadings
Subheadings should be in a bold font or underlined lower case
with initial capitals. They should start at the left-hand margin
on a separate line.
Sub-subheadings:
Sub-subheadings are to be in a bold font or underlined type.
They should be indented and run in at the beginning of the paragraph.
The top of this paragraph illustrates a sub-subheading.
Title: The
title should be centered across the top of the first page and
should be in a distinctive point size or font.
Authors' Names
and Addresses: The authors' names and addresses should be
centered below the title. These lines should be in at least
9-point type, but the particular point sizes and fonts are not
critical and are left to the discretion of the authors.
Keywords:
From 5 to 7 keywords should follow the abstract (as a subheading
of the Abstract).
Illustrations:
All halftone illustrations (pictures) should be clear black
and white prints. Do not supply photocopies. These illustrations
should be in place in the article (preferably printed as part
of the text rather than pasted up). If you are using photographs
and are able to have halftones made at a print shop, use a 100-line
or 110-line screen. If you must use photos, they must be pasted
onto your manuscript. Use rubber cement to affix the halftones
or photos in place. Black and white, clear, glossy-finish photos
are preferable to color. Supply the best quality photographs
and illustrations possible. Penciled lines and very fine lines
do not reproduce well. Do not use tape on your pages.
5. FORMULAE
All equations must
be typed or written neatly in black. They should be numbered consecutively
throughout the text. Equation numbers should be enclosed in parentheses
and flushed right. Equations should be referred to as Eq. (X)
in the text where X is the equation number. In multiple-line equations,
the number should be given on the last line.
6. PAGE NUMBERING
Number your pages
lightly, in pencil, on the upper right-hand corners of he BACKS
of the pages (for example, 1/6, 2/6 and so forth). Please do NOT
write on the fronts of the pages, or on the lower halves of the
backs of the pages.
7. FOOTNOTES
Should be typed in
singled-line spacing at the bottom of the page and column where
it is cited. Footnotes should be rare.
8. CONCLUSIONS
The better you look,
the better we all look. Thanks for your cooperation and contribution.
We look forward to seeing you at DCABES 2004 in Wuhan,Hubei, China.
9. REFERENCES
List and number all
bibliographical references at the end of your paper. When referenced
in the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for
example [1]. Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors
of referenced books.
