Authors of accepted abstracts should prepare camera-ready papers in accordance with the instructions given below. The formatting and layout instructions have been provided by the publisher of the ISASE 2026 Proceedings, CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group). All instructions must be read very carefully before commencing the writing of the paper, and strictly complied with in order to ensure uniformity and consistency in the quality of the Proceedings. All submitted papers will be reviewed, and only papers that are accepted will be published. The ISASE 2026 Proceedings will be submitted for indexing in Scopus and other major engineering research databases.

In particular, the text of the paper must generally be laid out in two columns on every page (except for the title and the abstract at the top of the first page). The permitted maximum length is 6 pages. Papers exceeding this limit will be returned to the Authors for shortening.

The following documents are provided in order to assist with the preparation and layout of papers (these may be downloaded via the links in the right column): (i) the Read-Me file with general instructions (this must be read first); (ii) detailed instructions (as issued by the publisher) on the layout and formatting of text, equations, tables and figures; (iii) sample paper on A4 pages (the content of this is actually the layout and formatting instructions of the publisher); (iv) template for the layout of text on A4 pages; (v) LaTex files; (vi) artwork instructions. Authors will also need to complete and submit (vii) the copyright transfer form, and (viii) the permission & AI verification form, both of which are also available via the links in the right column.

The attention of Authors is particularly drawn to the correct overall appearance of the manuscripts:

• At the top of Page 1 of the paper, the title, author details and the abstract must be laid out in one column across the full width of the page, while the rest of the text of the paper after that must be laid out in two columns.
• The paper must be suitably structured into sections and subsections, with figures and tables incorporated within the body of the paper, and a list of references featured at the end of the paper.
• The length of the paper must not exceed 6 pages, and must not be less than 4 pages.

The sample paper (see link on the right) is intended to show what the finished paper should generally look like. Please note that this sample paper (which is used for all Balkema conferences) is simply the layout and formatting instructions of the publisher typeset to look like a paper. It does not reflect the specific length requirements of individual conferences, which generally differ from conference to conference. The ISASE 2026 International Symposium requires full papers to be a maximum of 6 pages.
