Abstract: The formatting of technical papers is important to those interested in seeing the Journal that have a consistent appearance. This template is used to format your paper and style the text. The easiest way to make your paper look exactly like this document is simply to replace the content with your own material. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed, so please do not alter them. Please do not add page numbers, header or footer. Each paper must be preceded by an abstract that should be brief, indicating the purpose/significance of the research and must be between 250-300 words. Please, do not use symbols, special characters, footnotes, or math in the paper title or abstract. The title and abstract play an important role in the communication of the research.
