The text font is 10-point Times-Roman (or a closely resembling font),
single-space with 12-point interline spacing, in a two-column format.
All paragraphs should be indented 1-pica, and the entire text should be
right and left justified.
The main title should be Times-Roman 14-point boldface type, and
centered over both columns. In main titles, please initially
capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not
capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, and prepositions (unless
the title begins with such a word).
The author name(s) and affiliation(s) should be in 12-point
Times-Roman, initially capitalized, and centered over both columns.
5.1 Abstract
The submission should begin with an abstract, followed by a set of
keywords; the abstract and keywords should be placed the left column of
the first page.
The heading over the abstract (for example, ``Abstract'') should be

5.2 First-Order Headings
First-order headings (for example, ``1 Introduction'') should be

5.3 Second-Order Headings
Second-order headings (for example, ``1.1 Background'') should be

Figures may span both columns, if necessary, but text must conform to
the two-column format. If figures include color images (for example,
hardcopies of a color display), please convert them to grayscale or
halftone images in the Camera-Ready manuscript.
GIF images of figures may be in color. Their dimensions should be
appropriate for computer displays.
