PROPOSED ABSTRACT STRUCTURE (for those looking for references)

Background of Issue/Motivation

Why should the readers care about the issue and our proposed solution?
This part may explain the significance of the research, briefly argue the past studies and state the emergence challenge of the issue.

Problem Statement/Arguments

What issue are we attempting to address? Is it a broad approach or for a specific situation?
In this part, we should clearly define the topic of the research as well as the research question.

Approach/Proposed Methods

How did we approach the solution or progress of the issue? What was the study's design?
Unless the research’s main focus is a methodology, this part shouldn't need to go into great depth.

Expected Findings/Findings and/or Summary

What do the expected findings/findings imply? What will they bring to our research discipline?
This part should reaffirm why the research or argument in question is crucial to the subject.
Consider this to be an indication that further research is required, which in turn reflects how valuable the research is.

LANGUAGE
The English language must be used in all submission texts.
The author may choose to present the submission text in either AMERICAN (US) English language, or BRITISH (UK) English language. Combining these two English language versions in a single document is NOT acceptable. The conference committee also reserves the right to decline any submissions with poorly written language.

ACADEMIC ETHICS
It is expected that all submissions should be the author(s) original work and have NOT previously been published or are currently being reviewed in other conferences.
The observance of ethical standards is crucial in the academic’s professionalism and practice.
Any plagiarism will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If it is discovered that the author(s) has plagiarized, the submission will be automatically dismissed.
