TE>
For all submissions, authors are recommended
to use either INTERACT Word or Latex style sheets. These style
guides are available from the INTERACT
Style Files and Utilities page.
All submissions should be prepared on a word processor and printed
on a laser-quality or near-laser-quality printer before sending
the submission electronically to ensure that the printed version
matches the required specifications.
Note that all submissions are to be sent in camera-ready copy
(CRC) format either electoronically or as a hardcopy format.
There will be no reduction or enlargement in the final printing.
All material on each page should fit within
a print area of 225 by 160 mm (not including headers and footers).
Try to centre your paper on the page.
The first page of the paper has a different format from all the
following pages.
The first page is positioned 35mm from the top of the page, at
least 15 mm from the left margin, centred on the page.
The second and all subsequent pages are positioned 20mm from the
top of the page, and at least 15 mm from the left margin, centred
on the page.
On the last page, both columns of text should be centred on the
page and balanced evenly across the page (leaving a similar amount
of blank area in both columns at the end of the page). You may
need to make adjustments to ensure that this happens.
The target page size for the printed proceedings is 260 by 190
mm. A larger page size, up to A4 or US letter size, may be used
for the submission, but the print dimensions remain the same.
There will be no reduction or enlargement in the final printing.
Normal or body text should be left and right justified in double
column format (except for the title, abstract and keywords - see
below) with a space of 10 mm between two 75 mm wide columns.
The title should be in Times Roman 18-point,
centred, as a single column across the page. The first line of
the title should be at least 35 mm from the top of the page. Leave
two blank lines after the title.
The author name(s) should follow the title in 14-point Times Roman,
centred, bold, single column across the page, followed by one
blank line.
The author affiliations should follow in 14-point Times Roman,
centred, single column across the page, followed (optionally)
by email addresses, and then by one blank line.
Every submission should begin with an abstract
of not more than 150 words, followed by up to 7 keywords.
The abstract should be a concise statement of the problem, approach,
findings, and conclusions of the work described. The abstract
starts with the title Abstract: (in bold) followed by text, not
more than 150 words long. The abstract should be in Times Roman
10-point, left and right justified, as a single column across
the width of the page, followed by one blank line.
The keywords section starts with the title Keywords: (in bold)
followed by a list of keywords separated by commas, and should
be in Times Roman 10-point, left and right justified, as a single
column, across the width of the paper, followed by two blank lines.
Please use a 10-point Times Roman font, or other
Roman font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to
Times Roman. Sans-serif or non-proportional fonts should be used
only for special purposes, such as distinguishing source code
text. (The Press 10-point font available to users of Script is
a good substitute for Times Roman.) If Times Roman is not available,
try the font named Computer Modern Roman. On a Macintosh, use
the font named Times.
The text should be left and right justified (not ragged), in double
column format with a space of 10 mm between the two 75 mm wide
columns.
The firsreferences is in 9-point Times Roman font. The second and
subsequent lines in each reference are indented about 0.8cm. The
following words are to be placed in italics: the name of a referenced
book, a chapter, or section of a book, the name of the Journal
in which a referenced article appears or the name of the Proceedings
of a conference in which a paper was presented.
Each reference is followed by one blank line.
Figures will be printed in the Proceedings
in black & white only. Colour figures cannot be accommodated
in the printed proceedings.
Figures should be inserted at the appropriate point in your text
and normally should be no more than one column in width. If necessary,
figures may extend over the two columns, up to 160mm in width.
Each figure should have a figure caption in Times Roman (9-point)
beneath the figure. The caption should be centred and labelled
Figure n: in 9-point bold mixed case. This should be followed
by the title of the figure in 9-point mixed case.
Do not include headers, footers or page numbers in your submission. These will be added when the publication is assembled.
First order headings should be in 14-point
bold mixed case, where upper case is used for the first letter
of the word only, left justified, preceded by two blank lines.
First order headings should be numbered consecutively with no
period (full stop) appearing after the number (3 is correct but
not 3.).
Second order headings should be in 12-point bold, mixed case,
where upper case is used for the first letter of words only, left
justified, preceded by one blank line. Second order headings should
be numbered consecutively, using a hierarchical system. No period
(full stop) appears after the number (3.4 is correct but not 3.4.).
Lower level subsections should be avoided if possible.
Papers should report original and recent work and must not be submitted to another conference or journal. The written and spoken language of INTERACT is English. Spelling and punctuation may consistently use any dialect of English (e.g., British, Canadian or US). Hyphenation is optional. Please write for an international audience:
