2. Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from 
five to ten index terms (key phrases).

3. Enclose originals for the illustrations, in the style 
described below, for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies 
of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the 
manuscript. Alternatively, original illustrations can be 
submitted after the paper has been accepted.

4. Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of 
the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. 
Please include a telephone number and a fax number and an 
email address if available.

5. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.

6. Papers exceeding 50 pages in length (including figures)
 may be returned to the author for shortening.

STYLE FOR MANUSCRIPT

1. Typeset,double or l-1/2 space: use one side of sheet only
 (laser printed,typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable).

2. Use an informative title and provide an informative 100 -
 250 word abstract at the head of the manuscript. The 
abstracts are printed with the articles. It should be a 
carefully worded description of the problem, the key ideas 
introduced, and the results.

3. Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all 
footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and 
continuing with numbered footnotes. Acknowledgment of 
financial support may be given if appropriate.

4. References should be cited in the text by author and year

should appear in a separate bibliography at the
end of the paper, in alphabetical order of first authors' 
names. References should be complete, in the following 
style:

Style for papers:
Author, last name followed by first initials, year of 
publication, title, volume, inclusive page numbers.
          
Style for books: 
Author, year, title, publisher and location, chapter or page
numbers (if desired).

Example as follows:

into the Human Representation & Processing of Visual 
Information. Freeman: San Francisco, CA. (Journal Article)
Huffman, D.A. 1976. Curvature and creases: A primer on 
paper. IEEE Trans. Computers C-25(10): 1010-1019.
          
Conference Proceedings: Witkin, A. 1983. Scales space 
filtering. In Proc. Int. Joint Conf. Artif. Intell., 
Karlsruhe, West Germany, pp. 1019-1021.
          
Lab Menio: Yuille, A.L. and Poggio, I. 1983. Scaling 
theorems for zero crossings. M.I.T. Artif. Intell. Lab., 
Massachusetts Inst. Technol., Cambridge, MA, A.I. Memo. 722.

5. Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in 
proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 3. Examples of 
the zero crossings of the second derivative of the (a) 
Gaussian and (b) sine filter for the same input function.

6. Type or mark mathematical copy exactly as it should 
appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as 
follows: variables, italic type (indicated by underline); 
constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface 
type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor 
manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed 
that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic 
type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in 
text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or 
boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they 
will not fit on one line.

STYLE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS

1.  Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free,
and of good contrast.  We regret that we cannot provide 
drafting or art service.

2.  Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in 
India ink on paper, or board. Use 8-1/2 x 11 inch size 
sheets if possible, to simplify handling of the manuscript.

3. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered 
consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired 
location of each figure in the text, but place the figure 
itself on a separate page following the text.

4. Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. 
Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, 
reserving the term "figure" for material that has been 
drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the 
text, but place the table itself on a separate page 
following the text. Type a brief title above each table.

5. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible 
reduction.

6. Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and 
gradation, and any reasonable size.

7. Number each original on the back, or at the bottom of the 
front.

8. Include a separate page listing the captions for all 
figures.

will be sent to the contact author for proofing. The 
proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher
