INTRODUCTION

The body of the paper begins with the Introduction. In the Introduction, state the purpose of the paper, or author’s aim, so that the reader will have a clear concept of the objective(s). Following the Introduction, text should be organized into logical parts or sections that describe the problem, the means of solution, technical data or substantiation and other information necessary to qualify properly the results presented and conclusions drawn. Acknowledgments (where applicable), References, and Appendices (where applicable) follow the Conclusions.

A typical conference paper should not exceed 25 pages.

FORMATTING

Page Size (Subsection Heads should be bold)

The page size MUST be set to Letter (8-1/2”x11”) on “Page Setup” of your Word screen for example. This template places all material in a rectangle of 19.19 x 24.00 cm (7.55" x 9.45"), beginning 1.30 cm (0.51") from the top of the page. The left and right margins are set as 1.20 cm (0.47”). The text should be in two 9.15 cm (3.60") columns (Newspaper style) with a .89 cm (.35") center gutter.

Text

Text must be single-spaced using a Times Roman or Times New Roman font throughout the paper. Use a 18-point font for the Title, a 12-point font for Author Name(s), a 10-point font for SNAME Membership Status and all body text, and a 12-point font for all Section and Subsection Heads.

Text in the columns must be full justified.

Paper Title

The paper title with Times Roman or Times New Roman, bold-faced in 18-point font should be centered in upper and lower case at the location shown, and is limited to a maximum of 10 words. Two lines may be used.

Author Name(s)

Author names in 12 point font should consist of first name and middle name initials followed by the complete last name in upper and lower case, left justified under the title in bold.

Section and Subsection Heads

Headings and subheadings appear throughout the text to divide the subject matter into logical parts and emphasize major elements and considerations.
Do not number them.

Section Heads should be flush left in all UPPER case (CAPITAL letters).

Subsection Heads should be bold and flush left in upper and lower case as shown. For subsection heads, a word like the or a is not capitalized unless it is the first word of the header.

Sub-subsection Heads. Sub-subsection heads should be treated as a bold paragraph lead-in. Sub-subsection heads should be 10-point, Bold-Italic, upper and lower case and the paragraph full justified.

Text Citation of References

Within text of an article, references are to be cited by last name of author(s) and year of publication. Each reference to include last names of all authors. For example:

.....was discovered (Longuet-Higgins and Fox 1977)
Ueda and Rashed (1990) proposed …
Sparrow (1980a) discovered .....
It was also noted (Sparrow, 1980b; Kheisin, 1992) that .....

Last Page

The two columns on the last page should be as close to equal length as possible.

Length

Typical paper should not exceed 25 template pages (including illustrations).

Tables

It is often advantageous to place information in a tabular format as shown here. Number tables consecutively and use table numbers when referring to a table (Table 1, Tables 2~3,...).

Table 1. Table captions should be placed above table, left-justified

*The use of SI Units must be used for all weights and measures. If other units are used, the equivalent SI Unit should be included as shown above.

Equations

Equations are to be numbered consecutively from Eq. 1 to the end of the paper. Each appendix should have individual EQY=AUTION NUMBERS FOR EXAMPLE APPEDNIX A ESUARION SHOULD START A1 , A2 AS….ETC. Use the equation number when referring to equations (eq. 1, eqs. 5~7,...). Please take care to type equations accurately.

Equations should be left-justified. Enclose equation numbers in parentheses and place flush right with right-hand margin of the column.

Figures

Number figures consecutively and use the figure number when referring to a figure (Fig. 1) or figures (Figs. 2~3), ... Figures must have a caption consisting of an abbreviated number, like Fig. 1, and brief title and should be placed below figure, left-justified. Each appendix should have individual equation numbers, for example APPEDNIX A equation should start A1 , A2 AS….ETC

For good legibility, lines, letters and symbols must be of sufficient weight (or darkness), size and thickness. Avoid using shades or colors. Patterns will read more clearly . Figures should be produced electronically where possible, in .jpg, .gif, or .tif formats.

Place Figures/Images in text as close to the reference as possible. Figures may extend across both columns to a maximum width of (7.5”); however, figures preferably should fit within columns to minimize unused space.

Note for SMTC&E Papers: Only if your PDF file is converted correctly will your PDF electronic submission be used for the CD-ROM version of the proceedings. Be aware that, as a general rule, graphics in the printed version will be depicted in black and white. On the CD-ROM, however, the graphics will be portrayed in color wherever possible. Please be aware of the quality of your figures, illustrations, and photos.

Figures that are line-art should be scanned at 600 dpi, whereas screened figures should be scanned as grayscale at 300 dpi.

Please scan photos at 300 dpi, use the grayscale setting on your scanner, and place photo into position on your electronic document.

CONCLUSIONS

A brief summary of your research results should be included in this section toward the end of the paper.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Acknowledgements may be made to those individuals or institutions not mentioned elsewhere in the paper that made an important contribution.

REFERENCES

References to original (not secondary) sources for cited material is to be listed together at the end of the paper and should be justified ragged right. References should be published materials (excluding computer program manuals) accessible to the public. Internal technical reports may be cited only if they are easily accessible to the public or any reader. Private communications should be acknowledged within text, not referenced (e.g., “[Coyle, personal communication]”).

Within the text, identify references using the preferred and most contemporary MLA style: by principal author’s name and year; e.g.: (Jones 1989). Use endnotes rather than footnotes because endnotes format more easily. In the endnotes, list references alphabetically by primary author’s name, as in the following examples:

ABBOTT, J. “1988 Computer-Aided Wheelhouse Systems.” Journal of Maritime Engineering, 12:3 (1988): 64-72.

TOBIN, S. and M. DARMAN. Elementary Naval Architecture. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1957.

Please note that contemporary punctuation style places commas and periods inside quotation marks. Placement of other marks of punctuation, such as colons and semi-colons depends on their usage within each sentence.

APPENDIXES

In a highly mathematical paper it is advisable to develop equations and formulas in an appendix. Appendixes also may be used for detailed descriptions of apparatus and other related material not essential to general presentation of subject.
