1. INTRODUCTION
The proceedings are the records of the conference. ACM
hopes to give these conference by-products a single, high-
quality appearance. To do this, we ask that authors follow
some simple guidelines. In essence, we ask you to make
your paper look exactly like this document. The easiest way
to do this is simply to down-load a template from [2], and
replace the content with your own material.

2. PAGE SIZE
All material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18
× 23.5 cm (7" × 9.25"), centered on the page, beginning 1.9
cm (0.75") from the top of the page and ending with 2.54 cm
(1") from the bottom. The right and left margins should be
1.9 cm (.75"). The text should be in two 8.45 cm (3.33")
columns with a .83 cm (.33") gutter.

3. TYPESET TEXT
3.1 Normal or Body Text
Please use a 9-point Times Roman font, or other Roman
font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times
Roman in which these guidelines have been set. The goal is
to have a 9-point text, as you see here. Please use sans-
serif or non-proportional fonts only for special purposes,
such as distinguishing source code text. If Times Roman is

5.1.1 Subsubsections

The heading for subsubsections should be in Times New

3.5 References and Citations
Footnotes should be Times New Roman 9-point, and 5.1.1.1 Subsubsections
