INTRODUCTION
Because of the proliferation of Laser Printers, SCS feels it is now possible to achieve high-quality, camera-ready copy on standard A4 sheets. If you do not have access to a laser printer, you must use the oversized blue-lined mats. Call the SCS office (+32) 9.233.77.90, and we will send these to you. The Proceedings will be printed by photocopying the manuscripts submitted by the authors (if the larger mats are used, the photocopying will include reduction of each page to A4 format in the Proceedings.) It is important to note that the appearance of your paper in the Proceedings will depend largely upon the care you take in preparing the original manuscript and graphic material. You are responsible for all proofreading and layout (this should be conform with the authorkit, if not, your paper will not be accepted). TYPING THE MANUSCRIPT
| TITLE OF PAPER
Type the title in capital letters, using a bold and larger font (Times Roman Bold 12 to 15 points), centered on the page horizontally; 1" from the top edge of the first page. Space down three lines, then type the name of the author (first name first), author's business or school affiliation, and complete address, using upper and lower case letters (and e-mail address if appropriate). Make it a complete mailing address, for example,
Department of Computer Science University of Anytown B 9000, Anytown, Belgium E-mail: JJSmith@anytown.ac.be KEYWORDS
Model, Information, Knowledge, X-Y-Z Analysis.
ABSTRACT
Begin each paper with an abstract (100-200 words) that summarizes the topic and important results presented in the paper. It should start in the left column, approximately 2 3/4" from the top edge of the paper, and 3/4" from the left edge. Include the abstract heading as shown. Use the bold version of your font and type in caps. Skip a line space, then begin the abstract at the left margin. (Also include a copy of the abstract in ASCII format on 3 1/2 floppy disk for IBM PC compatible with your paper).. MAJOR HEADINGS
Type in capitals, beginning flush with left-hand margin. Use a bold font. Skip a line space, then begin

FOOTNOTES _______________________________
* Footnote symbols either follow the conventional order of asterisk (*), then double asterisk (**), dagger (), then double dagger (), or sequential numbering throughout the paper.
REFERENCES
In text, references should be cited by the last name of the author and the year of publication, all in parentheses. The Reference List should be organized alphabetically by the name of the author, followed by the author's initials, year of publication, and other complete information about the published work. It should not be numbered. Only references that may be readily obtained should be cited in the list. Others may be refered to as "personal communication" in the text. In the reference list, multiple entries with the same author are arranged chronologically. Italicize the name of the publication in which the article is found, or the title itself if a seperate publication (underline if italicizing is not possible). For laboratory, company, or government reports, all information on how to obtain the report should be included. For Ph.D. and M.S.theses, the institutions granting the degree should be given. References to proceedings should include the full name of the proceedings, how to obtain it, year of publication, and page numbers of article cited. A reference to part of a book should include the range of pages in which the material is cited. Names of periodicals should be written out in full, and the range of pages cited. For style and consistency, The Chicago Manual of Style will govern.
Examples of References In text:
(Smith 1978) -- one author | In reference List (somewhat smaller font is acceptable in the reference list):
for example a:
-JOURNAL PAPER:
-BOOK:
-IN A BOOK:
-IN A CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS:
-A SPECIAL PUBLICATION:
-TECHNICAL REPORT
-RESEARCH REPORT DO NOT TYPE PAGE NUMBERS. Simply write the sequential numbers and total number of pages to your paper in non-reprographic blue pen or pencil on the back of each page (e.g. 1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc..). Final page numbers will be inserted by the publisher.
Print your paper code (assigned by SCS) in the upper right hand corner on the back of each page of the original manuscript and on the first page of all copies. Write the first author's last name in the lower right-hand corner of each page, just above the page numbering. This is for handling and identification purposes only and will not be reproduced. |
In total, this gives the following reference list: REFERENCES
Balci, O. and R.G.Sargent. 1981. "A Methodology for Cost-Risk Analysis in the Statistical Validation of Simulation Models." Communications of the ACM 24, no.4 (Apr.): 190-197. | TABLES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
All artwork, captions, graphics, and tables will be reproduced exactly as you submit them. To ensure quality of reproduction, do the following test. Make a photocopy of a photocopy of the original. If this 2nd copy is still legible, it will be faithfully reproduced in the Proceedings.
In the interest of clarity and uniformity, graphs and tables should be kept within a single column, if possible. If not, a centered extension across two columns, is permissible (top or bottom of page).
If you include photographs, convert them into Velox prints or halftones (screened reproductions) and paste them into place. An 85-line screen is recommended. BIOGRAPHY If space permits, it is worthwhile to include a brief biography (no more than 300 words) of the first author at the end of the manuscript. This allows the viewing and reading audience to become familiar with the background of the author, thus giving the paper greater impact and validity. (also include the biography on the floppy disk in ASCII format and the full paper in the required formats). If you have any questions regarding the preparation of manuscripts, it is best to have them answered now - contact the SCS Office for any clarification. |
