Poster Paper Guidelines

About 30 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. 

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.  Another word, all the 30 poster papers will be rated by all the registered attendees on a general votes basis, with the weighted ratings from some special guests. (See the reference of POSTER AWARD COMPETITION EVALUATION GUIDELINES under Poster Competition).  The awards will include the scholarship cash and certificate diploma granted in the closing ceremony.

The competition rating (voting) closes at 1:00 pm, June 3. 

The 2026 Guidelines might be further revised, as needed.

Abstract

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

An abstract is a short paragraph that provides readers with a quick overview of your research and its organization. It should express your research central idea and your key points; it should also suggest any implications or applications of the research you discuss in the paper. 

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.

Author biography/ CV  (No more than one page) 

The presenting author (typically the first author) is required to provide a biography (no more than one page OR approximately 200 to 300 words).  The research lab web-link and author’s photograph are recommended.
