Please set-up pages as specified below or use this template. See any of the previous IWIPS proceedings for samples.

We recommend that you set your word processor units of measure to centimeters before beginning. The paper dimensions for the proceedings are CUSTOM - Width 13.6 cm, Height: 21.4 cm. The margin settings should as follows: Upper and lower margins = 2.2 cm; left and right margins = 1.3 cm. Margins for headers and footers should be 0.9 cm from the paper edge. Do not print page numbers. These will be added during final production. Lines of text must be justified on left and right margins. Avoid awkward spaces within lines by using creative editing and by breaking URLs, as necessary. Use single line spacing between paragraphs.

The header for every page (except the first) is to contain the work's title. This should be centered, in italic Times New Roman or equivalent, 10 point.

The required typeface: For body type, use 10-point Times New Roman (or equivalent) on a 12- point line. (See below for heading style requirements.)

Title and author by lines: Type the title in 14-point Helvetica (or equivalent, such as Arial), in boldface upper and lower case letters. The title should be centred on the first page 10 cm (1 in) from the top of the type page. Leave two line spaces below the last title line. At that point, type the author(s) name(s) (centred in 10-point Times New Roman, boldface upper and lower case). On the next line, centred, type the author(s) business or institutional affiliation(s) (regular (not boldface) 10-point Times New Roman). Leave an additional three line spaces space below these entries before the abstract.

Abstracts: Abstracts should not be more than six lines. They should indicate briefly the overall gist of the paper, including methods used, a brief product description, and key results. The abstract is not an introduction; it is an executive summary. Note: Abstracts are required only for Papers and Research-in-Progress submissions.

First level headings should appear in upper and lower case letters, left aligned in 12-point Helvetica (or equivalent) boldface. Leave one line space above, and half a line space below all first level headings.

Second level headings should appear flush to the left margin, in upper and lower case 10-point Times New Roman, with a 6 point space above and below.

Third level headings. If needed, third level heads should appear as 10-point Times New Roman italic. The first word (only) should be capitalized, and the heading should run into the beginning of the paragraph text, as is done here.

Tables: Position tables after but as near as possible to the place in the text where they are first mentioned. Centre tables horizontally on the page. Tables should be neat and legible, never hand-drawn. (Use of the table creation function in your word processor is preferred.) Table numbers and titles should be in 9-point Times New Roman, centred over the table body. Tables should be numbered consecutively, in the same order as their corresponding mention in the text. Leave one line space above and below each table, to separate it visually from the remainder of the text.

Figures: Position figures after but as near as possible to the place in the text where they are first mentioned. All figures must be centred, neat and legible. It must be darkly rendered and high-contrast, for purposes of reproduction. No hand-drawn artwork will be acceptable. Please do not include pictures unless it is absolutely necessary. (If these must be included, please also submit the originals, as separate .gif or .jpg files.) The figure number and caption should appear, centred, beneath the figure. Leave one line space between the figure and its caption, and another line space below the caption, to separate it from following text. The figure caption should be 9-point Times New Roman (or equivalent). Figures should be numbered consecutively, in the same order as their corresponding mention in the text.

In the text, references should be indicated like this (Jones and Smith, 1999). The references section at the end of the text should begin with a first level heading like the one above. The references should be alphabetically ordered, without the use of numbers (such as "1." or [1]). Following are examples for common types of references.
