Abstract
This paper describes the manner in which papers should be formatted for papers adhering to the ACS series, Conference in Research and Practice in Information Technology.  The abstract should be a maximum of 250 words and should clearly identify the content of the paper.  The text in the abstract should be in style "abstract text".  Note that the best way I have found to get the styles correct is to copy the text into a copy of this template rather than attempting to change the original file..
Keywords:  Maximum of three keywords.
1	Introduction
Normal text should be in style "normal", which should not be altered.  It is 10 point, Times New Roman in two columns.  Page size is A4 with 0.8in borders on all sides, two columns with 0.2 in between them.  There should not be a blank line between paragraphs.  If the style is being used properly, a half-line gap will be produced naturally.
Headings should use the heading styles as shown.  Numbering is automatic.
2	Heading Level 1
2.1	Heading Level 2
2.1.1	Heading Level 3
Headings below level 3 should be avoided.
Tables and figures, such as Table 1 and Figure 1, should ideally be confined to one column but where this is not possible should be located at the top of a page.  Each table and figure should be given a caption using the caption style, for example,

Type	Characterisation	
A	Reddish	
B	Bloated	
C	Swims fast	
Table 1: Caption

Figure 1: Caption
Citations should use the author date format only.  For example, as mentioned by Goecke (2005), … This point was also referred to in other works (Robles-Kelly & Hancock 2005, Agrawal, Imielinski, & Swami 1993), detailing the process..., etc.
A basic, but much abused, rule for citations is that they should not be referred to as nouns.  E.g. “(Zobel & Dart 2000) talks about” or “In (Zobel & Dart 2000), the process of ...” are both wrong.  For further information regarding formats, please contact the series-editor.
3	Submitting Camera Ready copy
Once your paper has been amended as required by the refereeing process, the source should be provided to the conference chair as required.  Do not send a copy to CRPIT - this is the responsibility of the program chair alone.  Note that PDF files are the only acceptable format.  
Note that if errors in formatting are found they will need to be corrected before printing – in extreme circumstances the paper will be left out of the volume.  The most common errors in using this word template are:
1.	Not having the correct margins – they are 0.8 inch all round.
2.	Not using A4 paper format when creating the PDF file.
Note that Microsoft Word, being as it is, equations tend to mutate (or not come out at all) when uploaded across machines and thus PDF is the only safe way of making sure what gets printed is what you wrote.  We thus insist on PDF.
4	References
References should be in the Harvard author-date format, sorted alphabetically based on the last name of the first author, examples of which are shown below (shown are a thesis (Ben-Zvi 1982), a book (Bentley 1986), a book section (Caelli & Bischof 1997), a conference paper (Goecke 2005), an electronic source (MySQL 2001) and a journal paper (Robles-Kelly & Hancock 2005) in that order).
