SUMMARYThis template is provided to authors to assist with formatting the paper.

The summary section of the paper should be self contained and explicit, setting out the ground to be covered and the aims of the paper. The suggested length for the summary section is between 100 and 200 words.

The Heading for the summary section is formatted in Arial 10 point bold font. The heading is formatted with 6 point spacing before and after the heading, without numbering (Style: Summary).

The remaining text is formatted as Arial 10 point using full justification. The paragraph is formatted with 6 point spacing after the paragraph (Style: Body Text). Double character spacing is to be used between all sentences in the paper.

A section break is inserted after the Summary section and the page layout changed to double column, with 8 cm wide columns.

1 INTRODUCTIONThe main purpose of the introduction is to enable the paper to be understood without undue reference to other sources. It should therefore have sufficient background material for this purpose.

Highly specialised technical papers will generally not need extensive introduction as interested readers may be expected to be familiar with current literature on the subject. On the other hand, when a technical paper is likely to interest engineers working in fields outside the immediate area of the paper, the introduction should contain background material which could otherwise be scattered throughout the literature.

The suggested length for the Introduction section is between 100 and 200 words.

2 NOTATIONIf the paper makes use of symbols or other specialised nomenclature, they should be listed and defined under this heading.

3 SEQUENCE & LOGICIt is most important to maintain a logical sequence. Lengthy mathematical derivations or other detailed supplementary material should be transferred to an appendix. Use clear precise English. Avoid very long sentences.

4 HEADINGS & TEXTFirst level headings for the main body of the technical paper are numbered, and formatted in Arial 10 point bold font, with 6 point spacing before and after the heading, and all in capitals (Style: Heading 1).

Text below first level headings is formatted as Arial 10 point font using full justification. A 6 point spacing is provided after each paragraph (Style: Body Text) and a 12 point spacing after the final paragraph in each section. Text is not indented.

4.1 Second Level HeadingsBegin each second level heading at the left hand margin of the column.

Second level headings are formatted with the first letter of each word in capitals (Style: Heading 2).

Text below level 2 headings is not indented.

Text is formatted as Arial 10 point font using full justification. A 6 point spacing is provided after the paragraph (Style: Body Text).

Use of third level headings should be avoided – restructure the first and second level headings instead.

4.2 EquationsEquations should be numbered consecutively, as they appear in the text of the document, using Arabic numerals.

4.3 IllustrationsIt is required that all diagrams, graphs and photographs be embedded within the document. The preferred method of inserting a photograph or illustration is as a JPEG or GIF file.

All illustrations are to be inserted “in line with text”.

Illustrations should be sized so that they do not extend beyond the margins of the column, and centred (Style: Illustration).

Illustrations should be numbered as Figures, below the illustration (Style: Caption). They should always be referenced at an appropriate location in the text, preferably with an embedded cross reference (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Typical illustration4.4 TablesTables should be numbered as Tables, below the table (Style: Caption), and should always be referenced at the appropriate location in the text.

Figure 2: Large illustration5 HEADERS AND FOOTERSHeaders and Footers must be formatted in the same way as this template, using Arial 8 point font.

A Header is not to be inserted on page 1 of the paper.

6 BULLETS & NUMBERED LISTSBullets and numbered lists should follow the layout of the preceding paragraph, with the text indented by 7.5 mm, as in the following examples:

Style: List bullet.

1 Style: List numbered.

Extending bulleted and numbered lists to a second level should be avoided.

7 USE OF COLOURThe use of colour throughout the paper, in diagrams, graphs and photographs, is encouraged.

Colour greatly enhances the appeal of the paper.

Colours for diagrams and graphs should be chosen so that, when necessary, adequate readability can be achieved from a black and white print.

8 CONCLUSIONThe Conclusion for the paper should be self contained and explicit, setting out the ground covered and the principal conclusions reached.

The suggested length is 100 to 200 words.
