Abstract
This paper presents the requirements for preparing a MEDSI2002 Workshop final manuscript for publication.

Keywords: Vibration Damping, Damping Pads, Viscoelastic, Storage Ring
1.	Submission of papers
Each author should submit all of the source files (text and figures), the postscript file, and a hard copy version of the paper.  
2.	Manuscripts
Authors are advised to use one of the MEDSI2002 templates.  These are available for MS Word 97 and MS Word2000 for U.S. letter size and A4 size paper.   The maximum number of pages is eight (8).  
2.1	General Layout
These instructions are a typical implementation of the requirements.  Manuscripts should be prepared for one side of the paper and have:
•	Either A4 (21.0 cm  29.7 cm: 8.27 in  11.69 in) or U.S. letter size (21.6 cm  27.9 cm; 8.5 in  11.0 in) paper.
•	Single-spaced text in one column 6 in (15.2 cm) wide by 9 in (22.9 cm) high.
•	The text is located within the margins specified in Table 1 to facilitate electronic processing of the postscript file.

Table 1:  Margin Specifications
Margin	U.S. Letter Paper	A4 Paper	
Top	1 in (25.4 mm)	43 mm (1.69 in)	
Bottom	1 in (25.4 mm)	25.4 mm (1 in)	
Left	1 in (25.4 mm)	25.4 mm (1 in)	
Right	1.5 in (38 mm)	32 mm (1.25 in)	

The layout of the text on the page is illustrated in Fig. 1. 

Fig.1:  Layout of papers.
2.2	Fonts
We are requesting that you use only Times (in bold or italic) and Symbol fonts from the standard postscript set of fonts.
2.3	Title and Author List
The title should use 16-point bold letters and be centered on the page in upper and lower case letters.   The names of the authors should be in 14-point upper/lower case letters.  The organizations/affiliations and mailing addresses, as well as the telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses of the first authors at each organization should be grouped by affiliation and listed in 8-point italic, upper/lower case letters.
2.4	Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered, use 12-point bold upper/lower case letters, and be left-justified.  All section headings should appear directly above the sections text—there should never be a page break between a heading and the following paragraph.
2.5	Subsection Headings
Subsection headings should be numbered (e.g., 2.1 General Layout), use 12-point italic letters and be left-justified.  Subsection headings should appear directly above the text—there should never be a column break between a subheading and the following paragraph.
2.6	Paragraph Text
Paragraphs should use 12-point font and be justified (touch each side) of the margin.  The beginning of each paragraph should be indented approximately 0.5 in (12.7 mm).  The last line of a paragraph should not be printed by itself at the beginning of a page (widow) nor should the first line of a paragraph be printed by itself at the end of a page (orphan).
2.7	Figures, Tables and Equations
Place figures and tables as close to the text where they’re mentioned as possible.  Lettering in figures and tables should be large enough to reproduce clearly.  Please use the approved fonts whenever possible.
All figures and tables must be given sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and have captions (12-point font) placed below figures and above tables being described.
Text should not be obscured by figures.  For more information on working with figures in Microsoft Word (including how to insert them in the most efficient manner), see the Microsoft Word help files.
If a displayed equation needs a number, place it flush with the right margin of the column (see Eq. 1).  Units should be written in the roman font, not the italic font.

2.8	References
All bibliographical and web references should be numbered and listed at the end of the paper in a section called “References.”  When referring to a reference in the text, place the corresponding reference number in square brackets [1-3].
2.9	Footnotes
Footnotes on the title and author lines may be used for acknowledgements, affiliations, etc.  A nonnumeric sequence of characters (*, #, †,‡) should be used.  All other notes should be included in the reference section and use the normal numeric sequencing.  Do not use Word’s footnote or endnote features to insert footnotes or references.    
2.10	Acronyms
Acronyms should be defined the first time they appear.
3.	Page Numbers
DO NOT include any page numbers.  They will be added when the final proceedings are produced.
4.	Templates
Templates and examples can be retrieved through Web browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer by loading to disk.  See your local documentation for details about how to do this.
Authors are required to use templates for the correct paper size and are advised to use the template corresponding to the correct version of Word.  Do not transport the document across different platforms, e.g., Mac↔PC.
5.	Checklist for Preparing Your Manuscript
•	Use only Times (bold or italic) and Symbol fonts for text—12-point minimum.
•	Figures should be in Times (bold or italic) and Symbol fonts when possible—8-point minimum.
•	Check that the postscript file prints correctly.
•	Check that there are no page numbers.
•	Check that the margins are correct on the printed version.  There may be differences of ±1 mm on the margins from one printer to another.
•	Check the size of the postscript file—an average size should be about 100-300 kbytes.  If the file size is over 300 kbytes, please try to make it smaller.
