The abstract should be 160 words at least. Do not use any abbreviation and equations in your abstract.\nIndex Terms: Leave one blank line after the Abstract and write your Keywords or/and Key phrases (5-7 words or/and phrases, separated by comma).\n1.  Introduction\nYour goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in a Journal of the MECS Press. We are requesting that you follow these guidelines as closely as possible.\n1.1.  Full-Sized Camera-Ready (CR) Copy\nPaper size: prepare your CR paper in full-size format, on A4 paper (210 x 297 mm, 8.27 x 11.69 in).\nFirst page margins: top = 30mm (1.18 in), bottom, left and right = 20 mm (0.79 in).\nOther pages margins: top = 25mm (0.98 in), bottom, left and right = 20 mm (0.79 in).\nType sizes and typefaces: Follow the type sizes specified in Table I. As an aid in gauging type size, 1 point is about 0.35 mm. The size of the lowercase letter “j” will give the point size. Times New Roman has to be the font for main text. Paper should be single spaced.\nParagraph indentation: first-line 7.4 mm (0.3 in). For Abstract and Index Terms, no first-line indentation.\nAlignment: left- and right-justify your columns. Left-Aligned your table captions, figure captions. Center-justy your tables and figures. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling. Digitize or paste down figures.\nTitle: use 24-point Times New Roman font. Its paragraph description should be set so that the line spacing is single with 6-point spacing before and 6-point spacing after. Use two additional line spacings of 10 points before the beginning of the Introduction section, as shown above.\nSection headings: each major section begins with a Heading in 11-point Times New Roman Font Left-Aligned within the column and numbered using Roman numerals (except for Acknowledgement and References), followed by a period, two spaces, and Each word (except for Prepositions, Pronouns) first letter should be capitalized, others lowercase. The paragraph description of the section heading line should be set for 12 points before and 12 points after.\nTable 1. Type Sizes for Camera-Ready Papers\nSubheadings: should be 10-point, italic, left justified, and numbered with letters (1.1, 1.2, …), followed by a period, two spaces, and the title using an initial capital letter for each word. The paragraph description of the subheading line should be set for 6 points before and 6 points after.\n1.2.  PDF Creation\nThe PDF document should be sent as an open file, i.e. without any data protection.\nPlease do not use the Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter to generate the PDF file. Use the Adobe Acrobat Distiller instead, which is contained in the same package as the Acrobat PDFWriter.\nMake sure that you have used Type 1 or True Type Fonts (check with the Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Writer by clicking on File>Document Properties>Fonts to see the list of fonts and their type used in the PDF document).\nAs always with a conversion to PDF, authors should very carefully check a printed copy.\n2.  Helpful Hints\n2.1.  Figures and Tables\nPosition figures and tables at the center of the page. Figure captions should be Left-Aligned below the figures;","cbCair1qeCorJibd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair1qeCorJibd","doc",435200,"English","# Introduction\n## Full-Sized Camera-Ready (CR) Copy\n## PDF Creation\n# Helpful Hints\n## Figures and Tables\n## References\n## Footnotes\n## Abbreviations and Acronyms","[{\"question\":\"What are the required page size and margin settings for the camera-ready manuscript?\",\"answer\":\"Prepare the full-size camera-ready copy on A4 paper.
