\textbf{ABSTRACT}
\end{center}
The abstract should summarize the content of the paper. The abstract should not
exceed 250 words and should not include equations or references. If you use
abbreviations in the paper, e.g., CIS, use the full meaning of the abbreviation
in the abstract, e.g., Computer Information Systems. The manuscript should be
printable on 8.5" x 11" paper. All tables, figures, etc. must be in black and
white only since the Journal does not print in color. Remove all HTML and XML
formatting. The electronic readability of your submitted copy is of critical
importance. We may edit your final, submitted copy to fit the journal's needs.

\end{center}
Major headings are to be column centered, numbered, and in a capitalized
\textbf{bold} font, as shown in this document. Manually insert numbers; do NOT
use the Bullets and Numbering feature of Word. Do NOT indent the first line of
the paragraph immediately following the heading, but DO indent all subsequent
paragraphs by .2".
\textbf{3.1 First Level Subheadings}
First Level Subheadings are to be numbered, left justified, bold font, and title
case. No blank line is to appear between the sub-heading and the text. Do NOT
indent the paragraph immediately following the subheadings, but DO indent all
subsequent paragraphs by .2".

font, numbered, and run in at the beginning of the paragraph.
\textbf{3.2 References}
List all references at the end of the paper in alphabetical order by primary
author last name. When citing references in the text, type the last name and
date. The citation should appear in parentheses (Dumdum and Tastle, 1998). Groups
of citations should appear in a single set of parentheses separated by
semi-colons and ordered alphabetically by author last name (Ashby, 1956; Harris,
1995). If two or more papers are cited that were written by the same author,
separate the years with commas (Harris, 1995, 1996). List all last names of
references with three or fewer authors. If there are more than three authors,
list the last name of the first author, followed by et al. for the citation (Ngai

appear between references. Format is APA and should utilize the hanging indent
format with .13" indent.

Figures and tables should be original and placed in the manuscript on the page
where they are referenced or on the beginning of the following page. Titles
should be centered, \textbf{bold} type, and below the figure or table in a text
box without borders or fills. Figures and tables that will not fit in one column
should span the entire page and should be located at the top or bottom of the
page. Section breaks should not be used when adding tables or
figures.\texttt{{\large }}To achieve this, format figures and tables with text
wrapping and position the item where you desire.

\begin{center}
