1    Introduction
This document, saved in the “Word 97-2003” format, is a guide to using the Manuscript Template. Before submitting your final paper, check that the format conforms to this guide.  In particular, check the text to make ensure that the correct referencing style has been used and that the citations are in numerical order throughout the text. Your manuscript cannot be accepted for publication unless all formatting requirements are met. 

1.1 Manuscript formatting requirements
1.1.1 Title: The main title of the paper should be 18pt, Full Capital letters and centred.
1.1.2 Author Names and Affiliations: author names and affiliations should immediately follow the title. To avoid confusion, use the format: first name, middle name initials, family (last) name (e.g. John A.K. Smith). The inclusion of middle name initials is not mandatory. Author details must not show any professional title (e.g. Managing Director), any academic title (e.g. Dr.) or any membership of any professional organisation.

For multiple-authored articles, list the full names of all the authors, using identifiers to link an author with an affiliation where necessary (e.g. John AK Smith1, Edward Jones2). 

The full affiliations of all authors should  be listed underneath the author affiliations. Affiliations should include: the department name; the name of the university or company; the name of the city; and the name of the country (e.g. 1Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia).
If an author's present address is different from the address at which the work was carried out, this should be given as a secondary affiliation (see affiliation 4 (above)). 

1.1.3 Language, Spelling and Grammar: all papers must be written in UK English.. Papers that fail to meet basic standards of literacy are likely to be declined. Ensure that the paper is spell checked.
1.1.4 Paper Length: the length of the full paper should not exceed eight A4 pages.
1.1.5 Page Formatting: comply with the requirements stated and demonstrated in this Manuscript Template.

A PDF will be created automatically on the manuscript submission system. Authors should not copy or re-use the format of other published papers. 
1.1.6 Page Layout: the paper must be in double column format, 8.8cm wide with margin separation of 0.4 cm, and single spacing. This can be achieved by setting the left and right margins to 1.5 cm wide. All paragraphs must be justified, i.e. both left-justified and right-justified. This template as it stands has the correct pay layout required.

Page numbers shall be placed in the ‘page footers’ on all pages. No other information is to be placed in the footer.
1.1.7 Text Font: standardised fonts such as Times, Times Roman, Times New Roman or Symbol are to be used with a font size no smaller than 10pt. 
1.1.8 Section Headings: all section heading should be numbered and no more than 3 levels (e.g. 1,1.1 and 1.1.1) of headings should be used.
