    Abstract: Your paper should include a short abstract of about 100-150 words giving
    a brief account of the main points of the paper. Please use abstract style.

    Keywords: Please insert main key words.

    1. Introduction – Heading 1 style


    Your introduction should set the scene for the reader, define the issues to be addressed in
    your paper and the target audience. While there is no minimum length, we suggest that your
    paper should be five pages in length with a maximum length of eight pages. The first
    paragraph in each section, should use paragraph 1 style.
    Each subsequent paragraph should use paragraph 2 style and use the tab for the first
    sentence within that paragraph.
    It is important that your introduction provides an adequate overview and focus for your
    paper to ensure that the reader is willing to continue reading.
    Please ensure that your paper clearly defines the issues that you are addressing.
    Remember that your project is simply the vehicle through which the information is gathered
    and it should not be the primary focus of the paper as the issues it is addressing are of more
    interest to the conference audience.
    The references to literature should be noted in the main text by an Arabic number in
    square brackets e.g. [1]. List these in numerical order at the end of the paper in the
    reference section.

    1.1 – Sub headings should use heading 2 style

    Paragraph 1 style
    Paragraph 2 style and use the tab for the first sentence within that paragraph.
    All tables and figures should be numbered consecutively (e.g. Table 1, Table 2 or
    Figure 1, Figure 2 etc.) and not by reference to section numbers. Table captions should be
    placed above the table while figure captions below the figure (both use caption style). Place
    tables and figures as close as possible to where they are mentioned in the text and not at the
    end of your paper. No part of a table or figure should go beyond the typing area and both
    should be centred. Figures of less than 70mm width may be positioned side by side.
