guide lines for the correct production of papers submitted for
PME’18. Please read the following instructions carefully and
follow them exactly.

I. INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in
an IEEE conference proceedings.
For items not addressed in these instructions, please refer
to the last issue of your conference’s proceedings or your
Publications chair.
The authors are encouraged to submit this paper with
maximum of six A4 pages. Papers should be prepared by
use of Microsoft Word. On-line submission is required.
