Abstract

The abstract for your paper must be uploaded to the conference Web site. It should in not more than 200 words present the main impact, content and style of the whole paper and should not contain any citations or links to the text.

1 Introduction

The extended abstract is a scientific publication and should therefore to be carefully prepared [2,7,11].

The camera-ready copies of the accepted papers will be used both in printed proceedings and in electronic form with public access.

Acceptable format is PDF, readable and printable with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Fully editable source of the paper in widely used format should also be submitted. RCDL 2012 organizers accept source in doc, docx, odt and LaTeX formats.

2 Format, style and content

2.1 Page size

All papers must be on 297 mm x 210 mm paper (A4 format). The format of the submission should follow this sample for layout, type sizes, and other details. For MS Word and Open(Libra) office users, it is strongly recommended to use this sample as a template.

2.2 First page

The top margin should be 25 mm; the title should be centered, with initial capitals, in boldface. Leave a gap of 11 mm after the title.

If there is only one author, the name should be centered, with initial capitals, in Roman font. If there are two authors, the first author should be flush left, and the second author flush right. If there are more than two authors, the first author should flush left, the second author should be centered, the third author should be flush right, and so on. Affiliations should be centered under each author name. Leave a gap of 11 mm to the first line of text.

2.3 Main text

Manuscripts must be printed two columns to a page. The dimensions of the columns are 80 mm wide, 22 mm margins in the right and left sides, and 6 mm gap between the two columns. The bottom margin in all cases is 28 mm. Start the text on all pages except the first page at 19 mm below the top of the page. For the body of the text, use 10-point Times-New-Roman, with 1-point leading (i.e., 10 on 11).

2.4 Abstract

Begin the first paragraph (page one, column one) with the abstract, indented 6 mm on both sides.

2.5 Headings

Headings should be in 12-point type, with 1 line of space above, and one-half line of space below.

2.6 Tables and figures

Table and figures should be centered in one-column, or centered at top of page if the figure is larger than a column in width.

Images can be automatically converted to black and white. We cannot ensure correct printing of color images and images using light gray. We strongly recommend to avoid usage of very light colors for background and important details.

Please try to use vector graphics whether it is possible. For bitmap images please optimize them for the 600 DPI output. As the rule of thumb make sure that image is sharp and clear on the screen at 400% zoom.

2.7 Page numbering, headers and footers

Do not include headers, footers or page numbers in your final submission. These will be added when the publication is assembled.

2.8 References

The bibliography entries must be numbered and ordered alphabetically on the last name of the first author or title if no author names are available. The references in the text should be in square brackets and use numbers (like [1, 3, 8-10]).

For references to the Web sites, the title must be specified [2, 4-7]. Author(s) and year of the Web publication should be specified if available. Just placing an URL is never acceptable. (For paper publications, just putting the Library of Congress catalogue card number is not acceptable as well.)

Text of paper should refer to all items in References.

2.9 Footnotes

Footnotes must be numbered with Arabic digits. We recommend minimizing number of footnotes.

If you want to acknowledge support for this work then please make a footnote to paper title or name of particular author. Acknowledgement footnotes must be unnumbered and marked with special characters. Alternatively you can

2.10 Papers in Russian

Papers written in Russian must include English translation of title, author names and short English annotation. See Russian formatting instructions for example and additional comments.

3 Example document

This document is an example of the recommended format. It defines the following styles: Paper Title, Author, Address, Abstract Heading, Abstract Text, Heading, Subheading, Initial Paragraph, Paragraph, Bibliographic Reference and CopyrightNotice. If desired, you may copy these styles in to your own document.

Even if you use this document as the basis for formatting your submission, you must still check that, when printed, the hard copy meets the required format.
