Submissions must be original, unpublished work containing new and interesting results that demonstrate current research in all areas of the subject, focusing on modelling, simulation and applications in science, technology, business and commerce. <o:p> </o:p> A paper should clearly indicate the relationship of the work described to the most relevant previous work. Most formulae in a paper should be accompanied by brief explanations in English. When mathematical proofs are not given, it is common to cite a technical report or other source where interested readers may find them. <o:p> </o:p> The author is responsible for obtaining any necessary copyright releases for material which has been published previously, as well as all required corporate and security clearances prior to submitting material for consideration. It is UKSim's policy to assume that all clearances have been received by the author by the time a paper is submitted for publication. No paper published in other journals or books can be considered for publication in the International Journal of Simulation: Systems Science & Technology. Concurrent submission to other publications and this Journal is viewed as a serious breach of ethics and if detected will result in immediate rejection of the submission. <o:p> </o:p> <h2>Preparation of Manuscript: Important Change<o:p></o:p></h2> As from Vol.10, No.1 IJSSST format will follow a similar template to that used by IEEE conferences, the main exception being the Abstract is spread over the paper width rather than the top of the left column. See http: //ijssst.info/info/template.doc, http://ijssst.info/info/template.pdf<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Headers and Footers: authors must insert headers and footers as follows:<o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> Headers: header text must be in Times New Roman size 10 points, centred across the top of the page between the same margins as the main text, with the Header from Top and Footer from Bottom both set to 1cm. The header text must consist of the first author's initials (without full stops) and surname followed by et al (in case of multiple authors) followed by a colon and a portion of the paper title up to the end of the line, in upper case, e.g.<o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> S B YAAKOB et al: MAINTENANCE OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHT<o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> Footers: must be centred across the bottom of the page between the same margins as the main text with the page number in the centre, in Times New Roman size 10 points including the volume number, the issue number and the paper number within the issue, e.g. for volume 15, issue 1, paper number 3, the footer would be as follows, where x is the page number within the paper starting at 1:  <o:p></o:p> DOI 10.5013/IJSSST.a.15.01.03__________________3.x___________________ISSN: 1473-804x online, 1473-8031 print REFERENCES: Follow the IEEE guidelines <a href="http://www.ijssst.info/info/IEEE-Citation-StyleGuide.pdf">http://www.ijssst.info/info/IEEE-Citation-StyleGuide.pdf</a> <o:p></o:p> Page Limit: 20PAGES.

This guarantees online publication within 12 months of acceptance. Rates for faster online publication are available for within 6 months, 3 months, 6 weeks and 3 weeks of acceptance.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <h1>ISSN: 1473-8031 Print<o:p></o:p></h1> ISSN: 1473-804x Online <a href="http://www.ijssst.info/">http://www.ijssst.info</a> <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> A Word .doc and PDF versions of this document are available online as:<o:p></o:p> <a href="http://ijssst.info/Submission_Policy-new.pdf">http://ijssst.info/Submission_Policy-new.pdf</a> and <a href="http://ijssst.info/Submission_Policy-new.doc">http://ijssst.info/Submission_Policy-new.doc</a> respectively.<o:p></o:p> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1'> <td width=736 colspan=2 valign=top style='width:552.05pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; border-top:none;mso-border-top-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'> TRANSFER OF COPYRIGHT <o:p></o:p> International Journal of Simulation: Systems, Science & Technology (IJSSST)<o:p></o:p> PAPER EDAS ID CODE: Paper Title: Author(s): May be completed by any one of the authors I hereby transfer exclusively to the International Journal of Simulation: Systems, Science & Technology (IJSSST) all rights granted to me by the copyright laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and other countries, subject to the reservations below. <ol start=1 type=1> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>The transfer of copyright shall become effective only upon IJSSST's acceptance for publication of the work.</li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>The author(s) reserve all proprietary rights (such as patent rights) in this work other than the copyright transferred to IJSSST by this document.</li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>After this work has been published by IJSSST, the author(s) retain the right to republish it in whole or part in any book of which he/she is an author or editor and to make personal use of this work in lectures, courses, or otherwise.</li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>If this work is in the public domain, such as education or other public service, I/we simply authorise its publication.</li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>If this work is subject to security clearance, I certify that as of the date below it has been cleared.</li> </ol> I warrant that the above work has not been previously published elsewhere, or, if it has, that I have obtained permission for its publication in IJSSST and that I will promptly supply IJSSST with wording for crediting the original publication and copyright owner.
