Regular papers are limited to 4-6 pages (including all figures, tables, references, and appendices).

⚠ Do NOT add page numbers to any page of your manuscript.

Times New Roman is the preferred font. As a reference, 1 point ≈ 0.35 mm.

Ensure that all fonts in the final PDF are embedded and subset. Check via File → Document Properties → Fonts in Adobe Acrobat.

Papers must use a single-spaced, two-column layout. Justify both columns left and right. On the last page, adjust column lengths to be approximately equal. Use automatic hyphenation and spell-check.

Center the title across both columns at the top of the first page, followed by author names and affiliations. Long titles should span two lines with no blank line in between.

The two-column format begins with the abstract in the upper-left column, leaving approximately 1 cm of space below the title block. The abstract must match the one submitted on the conference website exactly.

Papers must be submitted in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). Please ensure you submit a valid PDF. Adobe Acrobat is preferred, but other options are acceptable if they produce quality PDFs.

PDF files MUST:

• Not have Adobe Document Protection or Document Security enabled.
• Have A4 sized pages.
• Be in first-page-first order.
• Have ALL FONTS embedded and subset.

⚠ Warning: There is no guarantee reviewers have the same fonts you used. If fonts are not fully embedded, you will be contacted to re-submit. Please check your PDF generator's user guide.

When preparing under LaTeX, it is preferable to use scalable fonts such as Type 1 Computer Modern.

PDF files with PostScript Type 3 fonts are highly discouraged.

Type 3 fonts are lower-resolution bitmapped versions. To produce Type 1 fonts (vector representations), you can perform a few simple changes:

• For most installations, instruct dvips to output Type 1 fonts by adding the -Ppdf option (e.g., dvips -Ppdf -t a4).
• Alternatively, using pdflatex generally produces highly acceptable PDF files with proper fonts.
