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, A GENERAL MODEL OF INFORMATION TRANSFER John J.Smith and Mary
M.Doe KEYWORDS ABSTRACT MAJOR HEADINGS Type in capitals, beginning flush with left-hand margin. Use a bold font. Skip a line space, then begin Subheadings Secondary Subheadings. |
FOOTNOTES
Use sparingly. Begin two lines from previous text by typing a two inch long horizontal line, which can for instance be created by using the underscore key 13 times. Skip 1/2 or one line space, type footnote symbol, then type footnote.* _______________________________ * 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 you have any questions regarding the preparation of manuscripts, it is best to have them answered now - contact the SCS Office for any clarification. |
