must meet technical standards. Awards for excellent papers
will be presented during the symposium period.
II. MANUSCRIPTS
A. Organization

keywords, and then an introduction. At the end, there should
be a conclusion and a list of references. Acknowledgements (if
any) should precede the references.
B. Length

tables should not exceed four pages.

must be centered whereas multi-line captions must be
justified. Captions with figure numbers must be placed after
their associated figures, as shown in Fig. 1.

independent of the order in the authors list. The committee
recommends that the primary author holds ID for the paper

allowed is limited to one per primary author. Each primary
author must complete the registration before May 1, 2009. If

Other authors can register the symposium because the
above limitation is only related the number of paper
submissions per primary author.
