This account may also be used for future paper submission.
One soft copy (with paper, tables, and figures all in one file in Adobe pdf format ONLY) of the paper must be included in the submission. The corresponding author will be given a reference number assigned to the paper and it is to be used in all future correspondence. Should your paper be accepted for publication in a journal, we will request that you send, to the publisher, a soft copy of your paper in MS Word, Word Perfect, Tex, LaTex, or ASCI format. An original copy of the figures (hard copy) or, preferably, an electronic copy of your figures, must be included.

Format
Please read the following format instructions carefully. Formatting your paper correctly saves a great deal of editing time, which in turn ensures publication of papers in a timely manner. Papers not formatted correctly will be returned.
The paper must be double-spaced with an extra line added between paragraphs. Please note that British/Canadian spelling is adopted. Acronyms are spelled out at first mention but not thereafter unless there is good reason to do so. The title is centered on the page and is CAPITALIZED AND SET IN BOLDFACE. Please limit the title to a maximum length of 10 words. The author's name(s) follows and is also centered on the page. A blank line is required between the title and the author's name(s). Last names should be spelled out in full and preceded by author's initials. The author's affiliation, complete mailing address, and e-mail address are provided below. Phone and fax numbers do not appear.
Do not underline or capitalize any of the headings, or add dashes, colons, etc. The headings and subheadings, starting with "1. Introduction", appear in upper and lower case letters and should be set in bold and aligned flush left. All headings from the Introduction to Acknowledgments are numbered sequentially using 1, 2, 3, etc. Subheadings are numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. If a subsection must be further divided, the numbers 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc. are used and the number and associated title are set in italics instead of bolded. The first paragraph under each heading or subheading should be flush left and subsequent paragraphs should have a five-space indentation. A colon is inserted before an equation is presented, but there is no punctuation following the equation. All equations are numbered and referred to in the text solely by a number enclosed in a round bracket (i.e. (3) reads as "equation 3"). Ensure that any miscellaneous numbering system you use in your paper cannot be confused with a reference [4] or an equation (3) designation.
Abstract
An abstract, not exceeding 200 words, is required for all papers.
Key Words
The author should provide a list of key words, up to a maximum of six.
Introduction
The introduction of the paper should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose, and the contribution of the paper. It is assigned the number "1" and following sections are assigned numbers as needed. For example, the third section of a paper might be "3. Simulation Results".
Conclusion
A conclusion section must be included and should indicate clearly the advantages, limitations and possible applications of the paper.
Acknowledgements
An acknowledgement section may be presented after the conclusion, if desired.
References
This heading is not assigned a number.
A reference list MUST be included using the following information as a guide. Only cited text references are included. Each reference is referred to in the text by a number enclosed in a square bracket (i.e., [3]). No reference to the author is necessary. References must be numbered and ordered according to where they are first mentioned in the paper, not alphabetically. Examples follow.

Figures and Tables
To ensure a high-quality product, diagrams and lettering must be either computer-drafted or drawn using india ink. Photographs of diagrams are acceptable, but photocopies are not. Photographs must be on glossy paper. Diagrams can be submitted at full size, but authors must ensure an image of sufficient quality and resolution so that reduction to publication size does not render the image illegible. If possible, please also submit an electronic copy of your figures (high-resolution JPEG, TIFF, EPS, PSD, or Adobe pdf format, or as embedded figures in either MS Word or WordPerfect format).
Figure captions appear below the figure, are flush left, and are in lower case letters. When referring to a figure in the body of the text, the abbreviation "Fig." is used. Table captions appear centered above the table in upper and lower case letters. When referring to a table in the text, no abbreviation is used and "Table" is capitalized.
Page Charges
For papers exceeding eight printed pages, inclusive of illustrations, there is a charge of $100 (US currency) per additional page.
Note that printed pages are in a single-spaced and double-column format, which is NOT the same as the format for paper submission. Accepted papers will be formatted by our staffs into the printed pages format. Initial paper submission should be within, but not restricted to, a maximum of 16 pages (inclusive of all sections and illustrations) with double-line spacing, single-column per page, and clear fonts with 12-pt size.
Biographies and Photographs
Short biographies (120-150 words) should be provided that detail the authors' education and work histories as well as their research interests. The authors' names are italicized. Small (3.5 X 4.5 cm), black-and-white pictures/digitized images of the authors can be included.
Check List
You can obtain from the editor or download from the ACTA Press web site the check list. We request that you go through this list, check off each item as it is completed, and return the checked list to us with your submitted paper. Compliance with these formatting instructions will expedite the publication process and ensure high-quality publication of your work.
