Abstract. The manuscript should be typed in English. The length of manuscript should not exceed 20 pages in
this format printing on A4 (single-sided) paper. The title page should include the succinct title, the authors’
names, and an abstract of less than 200 words at the beginning of the manuscript. The paper begins with a title
which uses 20pt Times New Roman. This is followed by the details for each author in 10pt Times New Roman.
Section titles are bolded in 11pt Times New Roman. The remainder of the paper should be typed in 10pt Times
New Roman. Abstract should include overview of (1) Introduction, (2) Objectives, (3) Methodology, (4)
Results, (5) Conclusion and (6) Relevance to Industry.

Keywords: maximum five keywords should be included

document. The main part of the paper is formatted into 3. METHODOLOGY
two equal-width columns with 0.75 cm spacing. Section
headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, If the heading should run into more than one line,
