1. Introduction

This document is a template and a guideline for preparing papers for SimTerm.4E International Conference. Please, read the instructions carefully and prepare your paper exactly as indicated in this document.

2. Basic information

Abstracts and papers must be prepared in English and submitted in DOC, DOCX or ODT format. Paper size must be A4 (21 cm·29.7 cm) with portrait orientation. Landscape orientation is allowed only for certain sections of the paper containing specific figures or tables. Margins must be set to: 2.5 cm for top and bottom and 2 cm for left and right. Vertical alignment must be set to “top”. Header and footer must be adjusted to be 1.25 cm from the edges.

Measurements must be given in SI. Other units may be given in parentheses.

3. Organization of the paper

Each paper should contain the following basic elements:

Paper title,

Authors’ names and affiliations with indicated corresponding author,

Abstract,

Keywords,

Paper body, including numbered section and subsection titles,

Nomenclature (optional),

Acknowledgements (optional),

References.

3.1. Paper title

Title appears at the top of the first page of the paper. It has to be centered. It should not be longer than 2 (two) lines. The title should not be in the uppercase! Each word in the title should be capitalized except: conjunctions (“and”, “but”, “or”, “nor”, etc.), prepositions (“to”, “on”, “at”, “from”, “by”, etc.), articles (“an”, “a”, “the”), or the “to” in infinitives.

3.2. Authors’ information

For each author, full first and last names are obligatory. For other names, if any, initials might be used, as well as full names. Family name should be written as the last part of the author’s name. Authors’ names must not contain any professional or academic titles, or any organization membership.

Affiliations for each author should appear on the separate line. Affiliations for all the authors should contain:

Institution name,

City where the institution is located,

Country code, i.e. ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1),

E-mail address.

One of the authors must be marked as a corresponding author by adding the “(CA)” after his/her name.

3.3. Abstract

The abstract should be a single paragraph with no more than 200 words. It starts with the word “Abstract” followed by the colon (“:”), both in bold. Other words must not be in bold.

3.4. Keywords

Keywords section should contain up to 5 terms or phrases in alphabetical order. It starts with the word “Keywords” followed by the colon (“:”), both in bold. Other words must not be in bold. Terms or phrases are separated by commas (“,”) with the full stop (“.”) after the last one. Terms and phrases must begin with the capital letter.

3.5. Paper body

This is the main section of the paper. Authors are obliged to use SI units. Titles of sections and subsections must be numbered, as shown in this document. A page cannot start with a figure caption nor end with a table caption or (sub) section title. Numerated equations, figures and tables, in order of appearance should be inserted in the text behind the paragraph in which they have been mentioned. Variables should be written in italic style. Words and abbreviations that originate from Latin, like “etc.” or “e.g.” should also be written in italic style.

3.5.1. Lists

Lists should be numbered or bulleted. We recommend using “en dash”, i.e. “–” symbol (Alt+0150) for bulleted lists.

3.5.2. Equations

Equations should be numbered and referred in the paragraph before the equation. We recommend putting each equation in the table with 1 row and 3 columns and with invisible borders. The equation should be centered in the central column, and the equation number should be right aligned in the right column, as shown in eq. (1):

We also recommend copying and pasting the equations given here, together with the tables and modifying them.

Simple and short equations and expressions can be left in the text, in the condensed form, like this equation here: .

Symbols used in the text and/or in the equations must be defined immediately below or in the Nomenclature section, with the unit defined if applicable.

3.5.3. Figures

Figures should be clear, with the good quality. Both colored and black and white figures are acceptable for the electronic edition of the Conference Proceedings. We recommend using Times New Roman font for figures. The size of letters and numbers should be similar to that of the body text. Readability is the most important.

Figures should be placed between paragraphs, i.e. in line with text with center alignment.

Figure captions must be placed below the figure. Figures must be numbered, with the numbering included in the captions. Captions should be written in italic style, centered if the length is 1 row or justified otherwise. Figures captions must start with the word “Figure”, followed by the figure number, then a dot (“.”) and after that the text of the caption, e.g.:

Figure 1. <The caption text goes here>

Please, do not put low quality pictures in your paper. Also, please, do not let figures be more than 50 % of the total length of your paper.

3.5.4. Tables

Tables should be simple, located between paragraphs, with left alignment, with no text wrapping. Border width should be ½ pt. Please, do not use double or triple borders! Vertical borders could be invisible.

Table captions must be placed above the table. Tables must be numbered, with the numbering included in the captions. Captions should be written in italic style and justified. Tables captions must start with the word “Table”, followed by the table number, then a dot (“.”) and after that the text of the caption, e.g.:

Table 1. <The caption text goes here>

Entire text should be written using the Times New Roman font face. Detailed formatting rules for each element are summarized in Table 1.

Nomenclature

This section is optional. As an alternative, all the symbols can be defined and explained in the text, immediately after the first occurrence of the particular symbol. Symbols should be explained accurately and concisely, specifying units of measure used in the paper if applicable. Nomenclature section includes the following parts:

Latin symbols,

Greek symbols,

Superscripts,

Subscripts.

We recommend splitting this section into 2 columns and using table with invisible borders and equation editor for better layout, e.g.:

Latin symbols
–	Characteristic linear dimension, in [m].
–	Reynolds number.
Greek symbols
–	Dynamic viscosity of the fluid, in [Pa s].
–	Kinematic viscosity, in [m2 s–1].
Superscripts
–	Time interval.
–	Environment
Subscripts
–	Air
–	Fluid

Acknowledgements

Optionally, authors can add this section if appropriate. It should not be longer than 5 sentences.

All the references listed must be mentioned in the body text of the paper. Each reference number (Arabic numerals) should be enclosed in square brackets. References are listed in the order of appearance in the text, in the following format:
