TITLE OF PAPER
Type the title in capital letters, centered on the page horizontally,
1" from the top edge of the first page. Space down three lines, then type
the name of the author (first name first), author's business or school
affiliation, complete address, and e-mail using upper and lower case letters.
Make it a complete mailing address, for example,

KEYWORDS
Begin each paper with a list of no more than five keywords. It should
start in the left column, approximately 3 lines below the author address.
Use the list of "Partial List of Frequently Used Keywords," as your guide.
ABSTRACT
After Keyword Listing, begin each paper with an abstract (100-200 words)
that summarizes the topic and important results presented in the paper.
Start with the abstract heading, typed in caps, beginning with the left-hand
margin. Underline or bold the heading. Skip a line space, then begin the
abstract.
MAJOR HEADINGS
Type in capitals, beginning flush with left-hand margin. Underline
or bold. Skip a line space, then begin text.
Subheadings
Capitalize the first letter of each word, beginning flush with left-hand
margin. Underline or bold. Skip a line space, then begin text.
Secondary Subheadings. Capitalize the first
letter of each word. Indent 5 spaces
from the left-hand margin. Underline or bold.
Text follows on the same line.
Use footnotes sparingly. Begin two line spaces from previous text
by typing a short horizontal line, using the underscore key 13 times. Skip
1/2 or one line space, type footnote symbol, then type footnote.*
In text, references should be cited by the last name of the author
and the year of publication, all in parentheses. The Reference List should
be organized alphabetically by the name of the author, followed by the
author's initials, year of publication, and other complete information
about the published work. It should not be numbered. Only references that
may be readily obtained should be cited in the list. Others may be referred
to as "personal communication" in the text. In the reference list, multiple
entries with the same author are arranged chronologically. Italicize the
name of the publication in which the article is found, or the title itself
if a separate publication (under-line if italicizing is not possible).
For laboratory, company, or government reports, all information on how
to obtain the report should be included. For Ph.D. and M.S. theses, the
institutions granting the degree should be given. References to proceedings
should include the full name of the proceedings, how to obtain it, year
of publication, and page numbers of article cited. A reference to part
of a book should include the range of pages in which the material is cited.
Names of periodicals should be written out in full, and the range of pages
cited. For style and consistency, The Chicago Manual of Style will govern.

DO NOT INCLUDE PAGE NUMBERS. Page numbers will be inserted by the publisher.
See PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE for futher information.
All artwork, figures, captions, graphs, and tables will be reproduced exactly
as you submit them.
In the interest of clarity and uniformity, graphs and tables should
be kept within a single column, if possible. If not, extension across two
columns is permissible.
If space permits, it is worthwhile to include a brief biography (no
more than 300 words) of the author(s) at the end of the manuscript. This
allows the viewing and reading audience to become familiar with the background
of the author, thus giving the paper greater impact and validity.
