  Abstract. The following instructions are to be followed by the authors preparing their manuscripts in
  camera-ready form for publication in the Proceedings of the Conference. The structure and page
  layout of this document illustrate these rules by themselves.

INTRODUCTION

VKP-2 organizing committee asks the authors to strictly adhere to this instruction and prepare their
manuscripts with maximum care. It would allow drawing a polygraphic standard of the Conference
Proceedings near the high scientific standard of your presentation.

GENERAL TEXT STRUCTURE

The text of any paper should consist of the following obligatory components: the title of the paper,
the author or the list of authors, place or the list of places of residence (cities), abstract, the main
text, bibliography. The text must be typed using any non-portable typewriter, “Optima” being
preferable. The carbon ribbon should be medium thick and the typescript should be carefully
cleaned. The text must be typed using 1,5-line spacing on the special sheets provided. The text’s
width must not exceed the length of the sheet’s upper guideline, and the left margin of the text must
coincide precisely with the left end of the guideline. The right margin alignment is desirable but not
mandatory. The text on a page must start 3 line spaces below the guideline and end no lower than 3
line spaces above the page number position marked by two dashes. Page numbers should not be
typed. They will be typed in later at the proceedings’ stitching. Text highlighting using spacing and
underlining is allowed.

DESCRIPTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS

The title of the paper must be typed in capital letters at the top of the page 1 centered on the width of
page.

Authors. The names of the authors must be entered in capitals two lines spaces below the paper title
with initials preceding the last name. The name of the last author must be separated from the rest of
the list by comma and not by “and” conjunction.

Cities. A city name is typed in a regular way in brackets, line-centered, and with 1-line spacing from
the list of authors. If authors reside in several cities, city names are typed not in correlation with
each author but are grouped in a list.

An abstract is typed 2 line spaces below the list of cities and is indented to the right. Abstract length
must not exceed half of a page.

The main text is separated from the abstract by two-line spacing. Paragraphs are marked by a four-
spaces indentation from the left margin. Footnotes should be avoided. It is desirable to use no more
than two types of headings in the main text: chapter names and paragraph names. A chapter name is
typed in capital letters with one-line spacing between previous and subsequent parts of the text,
without dot at the end. A paragraph name is typed indented together with the subsequent paragraph
text and is marked by underscoring. Section names may be numbered, chapters being numbered
normally and paragraphs having double numbering through dot sign (2.1 being the 1^st paragraph of
the 2^nd chapter). Bibliographical references are indicated by numbers between square brackets where
the number corresponds to a position in bibliography list. Several reference numbers may be put
inside the same square brackets. Pictures must be written or pasted in the appropriate places in the
text. Letters ant symbols not available on the typewriter should be hand lettered carefully using
black ink or drawing ink (please do not use ball-point pens giving faltering line).

 Bibliography. All references should be numbered sequentially, reference number being separated
from the reference by dot sign. References should be arranged according to the sources citation rules
of “Kibernetika” journal [1,2].

If an author runs short of the special sheets provided, it is possible to make them on one’s own using
chalk-overly or other good quality white paper and precisely maintaining the special sheet format
(25 x 16 cm).
