ABSTRACT

150 – 200 words.

1. INTRODUCTION

The proceedings are the records of the conference. ACM hopes to give these conference by-products a single, high-quality appearance. To do this, we ask that authors follow some simple guidelines. In essence, we ask you to make your paper look exactly like this document. The easiest way to do this is simply to down-load a template from [2], and replace the content with your own material.

2. PAGE SIZE

All material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18 x 23.5 cm (7" x 9.25"), centered on the page, beginning 2.54 cm (1") from the top of the page and ending with 2.54 cm (1") from the bottom. The right and left margins should be 1.9 cm (.75"). The text should be in two 8.45 cm (3.33") columns with a .83 cm (.33") gutter.

3. TYPESET TEXT

3.1 Normal or Body Text

Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

Please use a 9-point Times Roman font, or other Roman font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times Roman in which these guidelines have been set. The goal is to have a 9-point text, as you see here. Please use sans-serif or non-proportional fonts only for special purposes, such as distinguishing source code text. If Times Roman is not available, try the font named Computer Modern Roman. On a Macintosh, use the font named Times. Right margins should be justified, not ragged.

3.2 Title and Authors

The title (Helvetica 18-point bold), authors' names (Helvetica 12-point) and affiliations (Helvetica 10-point) run across the full width of the page – one column wide. We also recommend phone number (Helvetica 10-point) and e-mail address (Helvetica 12-point). See the top of this page for three addresses. If only one address is needed, center all address text. For two addresses, use two centered tabs, and so on. For more than three authors, you may have to improvise.

3.3 First Page Copyright Notice

Please leave 3.81 cm (1.5") of blank text box at the bottom of the left column of the first page for the copyright notice.

Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page

3.4 Subsequent Pages

For pages other than the first page, start at the top of the page, and continue in double-column format. The two columns on the last page should be as close to equal length as possible.

Table 1. Table captions should be placed above the table
Graphics Top In-between Bottom
Tables End Last First
Figures Good Similar Very well

3.5 Footnotes, Citations, and References

Footnotes and references should be listed at the end of the paper in Times New Roman 9-point, and justified to the full width of the column.

Any acceptable standard for listing references is acceptable. An example of one standard is provided in #7.

3.6 Page Numbering, Headers and Footers

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

4. FIGURES/CAPTIONS

Place Tables/Figures/Images in text as close to the reference as possible (see Figure 1). It may extend across both columns to a maximum width of 17.78 cm (7").

Combined Virtual Mall
Figure 1. Insert caption to place caption below figure.

Captions should be Times New Roman 9-point bold. They should be numbered (e.g., "Table 1" or "Figure 2"), please note that the word for Table and Figure are spelled out. Figure's captions should be centered beneath the image or picture, and Table captions should be centered above the table body.

5. SECTIONS

The heading of a section should be in Times New Roman 12-point bold in all-capitals flush left with an additional 6-points of white space above the section head. Sections and subsequent sub- sections should be numbered and flush left. For a section head and a subsection head together (such as Section 3 and subsection 3.1), use no additional space above the subsection head.

5.1 Subsections

The heading of subsections should be in Times New Roman 12-point bold with only the initial letters capitalized. (Note: For subsections and subsubsections, a word like the or a is not capitalized unless it is the first word of the header.)

5.1.1 Subsubsections

The heading for subsubsections should be in Times New Roman 11-point italic with initial letters capitalized and 6-points of white space above the subsubsection head.

5.1.1.1 Subsubsections

The heading for subsubsections should be in Times New Roman 11-point italic with initial letters capitalized.

5.1.1.2 Subsubsections

The heading for subsubsections should be in Times New Roman 11-point italic with initial letters capitalized.

6. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
