About 30-40 poster authors (Mainly Post-docs, or Graduate students, preferably Ph.D. students , to be nominated by SAB) are to be invited for publishing the poster papers; ten of them, based on a qualification review by SAB, will be selected to make 4-5 minutes oral presentation each person.

There will be a poster award competition in which some outstanding poster papers will be selected by a general evaluation survey by all the registered attendees and awarded in the closing ceremony. The poster award competition is independent of the selection of oral presentations. Another word, all the 30 - 40 poster papers will be rated by the poster competition evaluation survey on the same basis. (See the reference of POSTER AWARD COMPETITION EVALUATION GUIDELINES under Poster Competition.) The competition rating (voting) closes at 4:00 pm, Jan 5.

The 2023 Guidelines might be revised accordingly.

Abstract

Please submit your abstract in both MS WORD (*.doc) and PDF files.

As the conference proceedings or handbook will be published in A4 format, it seems advisable to set up the layout on your PC/Mac/workstation in this format. A4 paper is 29.7 cm high and 21 cm wide (or 8.27 inches x 11.69 inches). In this format, define 1.5 cm (.60 inches) wide left and right margins, a 2.5 cm high top margin (1 inch) and a 3 cm (1.20 inches) bottom margin. The title/author/affiliation section should be centered above both columns.

Please use Times New Roman throughout the entire manuscript, from title, authors, affiliation, and headers, to figure and table captions, and references. The length of the abstract, including reference and author biography (author biography is only requested for speech paper), can vary from 1 to 2 pages. To achieve as unified a look across the proceedings or handbook as possible, the following formats are preferred for the main paragraph types, as illustrated also by this sample manuscript:

• Title: 16 points, bold; • Authors: 12 points, bold italic;

• Affiliation: 12 points, regular; • Street, City, STATE/Province, COUNTRY: 12 points, regular

• Text body: 12 points, regular;

• Figure captions: 10 points, italic; • Table captions: 10 points, italic;

• The font size of references is 10 points, regular, numbered in [ ].

Each figure should be accompanied by a numbered caption, as shown in Figure 1, placed directly below the figure being described.

All labels within the figure frame should be in font 9 points or larger.

Tables should be preceded by a caption. Table 1 illustrates a possible design with 12 points font size.
