ABSTRACT

The abstract is to be in fully-justified italicized text, at the top of the left-hand column as it is
here, below the author information. Use the word “Abstract” as the title, in 12-point Times,
boldface type, centered relative to the column, initially capitalized. The abstract is to be in
10-point, single-spaced type, and may be up to 3 in. (7.62 cm) long. Leave two blank lines
after the abstract, then begin the main text. All manuscripts must be in English.

An Abstract is required for every paper; it should succinctly summarize the reason for the
work, the main findings, and the conclusions of the study. The abstract should be no longer
than 250 words. Do not include artwork, tables, elaborate equations or references to other
parts of the paper or to the reference listing at the end. The reason is that the Abstract should
be understandable in itself to be suitable for storage in textual information retrieval systems.

FORMAT OF CD CONTAINING COMPUTER SOFTWARE

Each software developed by the Project's Group should be burnt in a CD with proper
documentation. The CD should contain files containing the source code, one or more sample
input and corresponding output separately. Other than these there must be another file named
"[Link]". In this ASCII text file, the following sections must be appear.

Author's Identity. A file should contain the name of each project group member along with
the Supervisor's name.

Files in the CD. In this section, the names of the files together with their contents must be
listed.

Hardware Requirements. In this section, we should note down the hardware requirements
along with any special type of equipments/ components such as graphics card, numeric
coprocessor, mouse, RAM capacity etc. needed to run the software.

Software Requirements. In this section, the operating system, the compiler, linker, and the
libraries etc. necessary to compile and link the software must be listed. There is a need to
obtain the necessary license from the copyright owner before one incorporates the
