Abstract
An abstract is a short summary of your report, usually a paragraph (6-7 sentences or 150-250 words) long. A well-written abstract serves multiple purposes. An abstract lets readers get the gist or essence of your report quickly, in order to decide whether to read the full report; it prepares readers for detailed information, analyses, and arguments in your full report; and, later, helps readers remember the key points from your report. If you are writing an abstract for a course, your professor may give you specific guidelines for what to include and how to organize your abstract. Thus in addition to following the advice on this page, you should be sure to look for and follow any guidelines from the course you are writing for.

Introduction
This template, modified in MS Word 2007 and saved as a "Word 97-2003 Document" for the PC, provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. All standard paper components have been specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to electronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later production of electronic products, and (3) conformity of style throughout a conference proceedings. Margins, column widths, line spacing, and type styles are built-in; examples of the type styles are provided throughout this document and are identified in italic within parentheses following the example. Some components, such as multi-leveled equations, graphics, and tables are not prescribed although various table text styles are provided. The formatter needs to create these components, incorporating applicable criteria that follow.

Ease of Use (Heading 1)

Selecting a Template (Heading 2)
First, confirm that you have the correct template for your paper size. This template has been tailored for output on the US-letter paper size but prints on A4 paper size as well [1].

Adhering to the Template (Heading 2)
The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may note some peculiarities. For example, the head margin in this template measures proportionately more than is customary. This measurement and others are deliberate, using specifications that anticipate your paper as part of the entire proceedings and not as an independent document. Please do not revise any of the current designations.

Using the Template (Heading 1)
After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready for the template. In this newly created file, highlight all of the contents and import your prepared text file. You are now ready to style your paper; use the scroll down window on the left of the MS Word Formatting toolbar. Keep in mind that:
Bullet point lists can be created using the "Bullet Points" style. However, try to reduce the use of bullet points in the report to maximize readability.
Normal paragraph text should be in the "Normal" style.
Use at most three levels of headings for best results. A good report will have well justified headings to guide the reader.

Identify the Headings (Heading 2)
Headings are organizational devices that guide the reader through your paper. There are two types: component heads and text heads [2].
Component heads identify different components of your paper and are not topically subordinate to each other. Some examples include Acknoledgments and References, and for these, the correct style to use is "Heading 5". Use "Caption" for figure and table captions [3].
Text heads organize the topics on a relational, hierarchical basis. For example, the paper title is the primary text head because all subsequent material relates and elaborates on this one topic. If there are two or more sub-topics, the next level head should be used and, conversely, if there are not at least two sub-topics, then no subheads need be introduced. Styles "Heading 1", "Heading 2", "Heading 3", and "Heading 4" are prescribed [4].
