Instructions for Paper Preparation and Submission †

Authors are kindly invited to submit papers describing original works in all aspects of nonlinear theory and its applications to NOLTA2013. Please prepare your paper according to the following guidelines and submit via Submission Page. Only electronic submission of papers in PDF format is accepted.

Preparation of Papers †

1. LaTeX Style File and Microsoft Word †

For the convenience of LaTeX users, we provide a LaTeX style file (nolta2013.sty) that automatically formats the manuscript in accordance with the symposium requirements. A LaTeX sample file (nolta2013.tex) will show you how to use the style file. We also provide a Microsoft Word template (nolta2013.doc) and a sample paper in PDF format (nolta2013.pdf).

• nolta2013.sty (LaTeX sty file)
• nolta2013.tex (LaTeX sample source file)
• nolta2013.doc (Microsoft Word template)
• nolta2013.pdf (Sample paper in PDF format)

If you don't use these templates, please read the instructions below carefully and follow them as closely as possible in order to produce high-quality proceedings with common formatting for all papers.

2. Paper Format †

Please prepare your paper in A4 format (210mm by 297mm). Set the top margin to 30mm with the exception of the first page that begins 35mm from the top edge.

All text must be in two-column format with 5mm column separation. The paper should not exceed four pages in length. Please do not put page numbers on your paper.

3. Typesetting †

The text should be written with a font size of 10pt unless otherwise specified. Times New Roman font is recommended for consistency and readability both on screen and in print. Please do not use Asian fonts as this will make your manuscript unreadable for reviewers.

Creating PDF Files †

1. Software †

As mentioned above, only electronic submission of papers in PDF format is accepted. There are several methods for creating PDF files: Adobe Distiller, PDFWriter, ps2pdf, dvipdfm, pdflatex, and so on. Generally Adobe Distiller provides higher quality output than others, and is therefore preferred.

2. Embedding Fonts †

All fonts must be embedded into the PDF file of your paper including the following standard 14 fonts:

• Courier
• Courier, Italic
• Courier, Bold
• Courier, Bold Italic
• Arial MT
• Arial MT, Italic
• Arial MT, Bold
• Arial MT, Bold Italic
• Times New Roman PS MT
• Times New Roman PS MT, Italic
• Times New Roman PS MT, Bold
• Times New Roman PS MT, Bold Italic
• Symbol
• Zapf Dingbats

that come with Acrobat Reader, so that the file can be viewed correctly on any computer. The method of embedding fonts is different on various systems and PDF creation mechanisms; for example, in Adobe Distiller, choose Job Options and check Embed All Fonts. For authors using other software, please refer to your own help sources.

Before submission, please make sure that all fonts are embedded into the PDF file you have created. To view the font information for a PDF, open the file in an Acrobat Reader, go to the File menu, select Document Info, and then Fonts. The Font Info dialog box displays font information. If Used Font column is set to Embedded or Embedded Subset, it means that the font is correctly embedded.
