including images (e.g., with experimental results) in a
LaTeX document. Figure 1 shows you an example of how to
do this.

11. TABLES AND EQUATIONS

Tables and important equations must be centered in the

column. Table 1 shows an example of a table while the
equation
y = ax2+bx+c
= (x+p)(x+q) (1)

shows an example of an equation layout.

Large tables or long equations may span across both
columns. Any table or equation that takes up more than one
column width must be positioned either at the top or at the
bottom of the page.

12. FOOTNOTES

Use footnotes sparingly and write them at the bottom of the

column on the page where they are referenced. Use Times
New Roman 9-point type, single-spaced. To help your
readers, avoid using footnotes altogether but include any
necessary observations in the text (within parentheses, if
you prefer, as in this sentence).

13. CITATIONS AND REFERENCES

Citation of your own work is now allowed in this camera-

ready submission. You can now use phrases such as “In
previous works [20], we have proposed...”
List and number all bibliographical references at the
end of the paper. The references can be numbered in
alphabetic order or in order of appearance in the document.
