ABSTRACT These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for DLSU ECE Student Conference. You can use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set for producing your paper. Define all symbols and acronyms used in this abstract such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and Takagi-Sugeno (T-K) controller. Do not cite references on the abstract. Key Words about four keywords or phrases are to be placed here in alphabetical order, separated by commas. INTRODUCTION This document is a template for Microsoft Word versions 6.0 or later. Number one rule: do not change the font styles, sizes and line spacing to squeeze more text into a limited number of pages. Use italics to emphasize; do not underline. The succeeding sections of this paper are guidelines on the proper formatting of this document. Before proceeding to the next section, please take note that following margins are to be followed: (1) top and bottom margins are 1.0 inch each, and (2) left and right margins are 0.75 inches each. The space between the first and second column is 0.5 inches. This document has the size of 8.5 x 11 inches.
All fonts are in Times New Roman. The title of the paper must have a font size of 12 and must be bold. The rest of the paper will have a font size of 10. All email addresses must be in italics. As much as possible, avoid using equations as part of your title. For abstracts, please be straight to the point. Remember that the reader sometimes only read the abstract before reading the whole paper. Your abstract serves as the key for letting them read the whole document. If in your abstract, they found out that they could not understand what you are saying, they might as well disregard your paper. Keywords are used to tell the reader what are the key words or phrases they must expect. Example keywords are; Nonlinear systems, robust control, cluster merging, volume prototypes, artificial neural networks (ANN), fuzzy clustering, relational data classification, Jacobi transverse matrices, stochastic integral, etc. I. REFERENCES, CITATIONS, FIGURES AND TABLES
References and citations Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2]. Multiple references [2], [3] are each numbered with separate brackets [1]-[3]. When citing a section in a book, pleas give the relevant page numbers [2]. In sentences, refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. DO not use Ref. [3] or reference [3] except at the beginning of a sentence: Reference [3] shows . You can have

as many references as you like as long as they are really needed. Refer to the References section for more details on proper referencing.
To be able to put a figure on top of a page, do the following steps: (1) save your image as a .jpg or .gif file,

Please note that the references at the end of this document are in the preferred referencing style of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS. Give all authors names: do not use et. al. unless there are seven authors or more. Use a space after authors initials. Papers that have not been published should be cited as unpublished [4]. Papers that have been submitted for publication should be cited as submitted for publication [5]. Papers that have been accepted for publication, but not yet specified for an issue should be cited as to be published [6]. Please give affiliations and addresses for private communications [7]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols. If you are short of space, you may omit paper titles. However, paper titles are helpful to your readers and are strongly recommended. For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreign-language citation [8]. Figures All figures must be placed at the top of a page, as shown in Fig. 1. Every figure must have a corresponding caption placed under it. The caption must be left justified and should have a font size of 8. Please do not include captions as part of the figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your figures. Use the abbreviation Fig. even at the beginning of a sentence. Do not use color unless it is necessary for the proper interpretation of your figures.
No vertical lines in table. Statements that serve as captions for the entire table do not need footnote letters. a Gaussian units are the same as cgs emu for magnetostatics; Mx = maxwell, G = gauss, Oe = oersted; Wb = weber, V = volt, s = second, T = tesla, m = meter, A = ampere, J = joule, kg = kilogram, H = henry.
(2) then in Microsoft Word, select the Insert Text Box for the Drawing toolbar, and click the leftmost part of the first line of the page, (3) after inserting the textbox, click Insert | Picture | From File to insert the picture (4) arrange the text box so that the whole image is resized to be somewhat equal to the with of this column, as shown in Fig. 2. If the resizing the text box would make the image unreadable, you can resize it to have a width of two columns, as shown in Fig. 3. After resizing the whole image, right click the text box and select Format Text Box. Remove all borders and shading and the Colors and Lines Tab. For the Layout tab, choose Square.
Tables

Tables must also be placed at the top of a page, as shown in Table I. If a figure exists in the same page where the table is to be placed, the table must be placed under the figure. Table captions must be placed at the top of each table with the format shown in note that the caption above each table must be formatted to have THIS KIND OF STYLE. Sometimes, is also possible to have a citation inside the
A technique in inserting an equation to this document of to create first a 2 by 1 table. The equation is placed in cell 1, and the equation number is placed in cell 2, which is enclosed in (parentheses). Be sure that the symbols in your equations have been defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature,

table. You can also provide a sub-caption to every entry inside the table. Do not abbreviate Table. Tables are numbered with Roman numerals. II. MATH If you are using Microsoft Word, use the Microsoft Equation Editor, Visio, or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com) for equations in your paper. Float over text should not be selected, see (1). Another example of an equation is depicted in (2). If an equation is to be used or cited more than once in this document, an equation number must be placed, as depicted in equations (1) and (2). Else, an equation number is not needed.

but T is the unit tesla). Refer to (1), not Eq. (1), nor equation (1), except at the beginning of a sentence: Equation (1) is . IV. HELPFUL HINTS Figures and Tables Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Use words rather than symbols. As an example, write the quantity Magnetization, or Magnetization M, not just M. Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. As in Fig. 1, for example, write Magnetization (A/m), not just A/m. Do not label axes with a ration of
It is recommended that footnotes be voided (except for the unnumbered footnote with the receipt date on the first page). Instead, try to integrate the footnote information into the text.

quantities and units. For example, write Temperature (K), not Temperature/K. (2) Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write Magnetization (kA/m) or Magnetization (103 A/m). Do not write Magnetization (A/m) x 1000 because the reader would not know whether the top axis label in Fig. 1

meant 16000 A/m or 0.016 A/m. Figure labels should be legible, approximately 8 to 12 point type. Footnotes Number footnotes separately in superscripts. 1 Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it is cited do not put footnotes in the reference list (endnotes). Use letter for table footnotes (see Table I). Abbreviations and Acronyms Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they already been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IECEP, IEEE, SI, ac, and dc do not have to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have spaces: write C.N.R.S., not C. N. R. S. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable. Other recommendations Use one space after periods and colons. Hyphenate complex modifiers, zero-field-cooled magnetization. Avoid dangling participles, such as, Using (1), the potential was calculated. [It is not clear who or what used (1).] Write instead, The potential was calculated by using (1), or Using (1), we calculated the potential. Use a zero before decimal points: 0.25, not .25. Use cm3, not cc. Indicate sample dimensions as 0.1 cm x 0.2 cm, not 0.1 x 0.2 cm. The abbreviation for seconds is s, not sec. Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: use Wb/m 2 or webers per square meter, not Wb/square meter. When expressing a range of values, write 7 to 9 or 7-9, not 7~9. A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parenthesis.) In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like this period. Other punctuation is outside! Avoid contractions; for example, write do not instead of dont. The serial comma is preferred: A, B, and C instead of A, B and C. III. CONCLUSION
The conclusion in any paper must contain the review of the main points. Do not replicate the abstract as the conclusion, which is a common mistake to first-time authors. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications and future directives. REFERENCES
