Abstract—These instructions give you guidelines for
preparing papers for the JoPhA journal, based on IEEE style.
Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft
Word 6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an
instruction set. The electronic file of your paper will be
formatted furthe. Define all symbols used in the abstract. Do
not cite references in the abstract. Do not delete the blank line
immediately above the abstract; it sets the footnote at the
bottom of this column.
Index Terms— JoPhA, journal, LATEX, paper template.
I. INTRODUCTION
T
HIS DOCUMENT is a template for Microsoft Word versions
6.0 or later. If you would prefer to use LATEX, download
JoPhA’s LATEX style from the same Web page.
II. PROCEDURE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
A. Regular Papers
Authors of regular papers may prepare their papers for
review using any word processor, two columns, single
spaced. Please follow the writing style specified in this
document. Most authors will find it convenient to use
Microsoft Word and this template or LATEX.
B. Submission instruction
JoPhA publishes scientific papers that should reflect
original, previously unplubished work, and not
simultaneously under consideration for publication
elsewhere. The manuscript, if accepted, will be disseminated
to the readers. It is the responsability of the authors to obtain
written permission of the material used in the article
previously published.
Manuscripts intended for publication in the Journal of
Physical Agents should be written in English and sent
electronically in single-spaced, double-column format using
the JoPhA (LaTeX) style file or the Word template (this file).
Please, follow the instructions given in the format file.
Articles will be limited to 15 pages. Longer papers will be
rejected without review. Upload your manuscript (pdf
format) at www.jopha.net The work will follow a double
blind review. Once accepted, original LaTeX files and
graphics (or Word files) will be required. Authors are
encouraged to use the LaTeX template provided at
http://www.jopha.net Please review all submission
requirements listed on this page before submitting.
Miguel Cazorla is with University of Alicante.

III. HELPFUL HINTS
A. Keywords
Choose one among (not limited to): Physical agents,
Mobile agents and multiagent systems, Domotic agents &
applications, Smart- sensors networks, Intelligent robots
applications, Man-Robot interaction, Intelligent sensors
networks, Robotic manipulators, Robocup and soccer
robots, Mobile robots, Autonomous and semiautonomous
robots, Cooperating robots, Industrial robotics, Applied
intelligent robotic systems, Computer vision and robotics,
SLAM, Artificial Vision, Vision and robotics.
B. Figures and Tables
Because we will do the final formatting of your paper,
you do not need to position figures and tables at the tops and
bottoms of columns. In fact, all figures, figure captions, and
tables can be at the end of the paper. Please mark in the text
where the figures and tables are supposed to appear. Large
figures and tables may span both columns. Place figure
captions below the figures; place table titles above the
tables. If your figure has two parts, for example, include the
labels “(a)” and “(b)” as part of the artwork. Please verify
that figures and tables that you mention in the text actually
exist. Please do not include captions as part of the
figures. Do not put captions in “text boxes” linked to the
figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your
figures. Use the abbreviation “Fig.” even at the beginning of
a sentence. Do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables are numbered
with Roman numerals.
C. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1].
The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2]. Multiple
references [2], [3] are each numbered with separate brackets
[1]-[3]. When citing a section in a book, please give the
relevant page numbers [2]. In sentences, refer simply to the
reference number, as in [3]. Do not use “Ref. [3]” or
“reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence:
“Reference [3] shows ... .”
Papers that have not been published should be cited as
“unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been submitted or
accepted for publication should be cited as “submitted for
publication” [5]. Papers that have been accepted for
publication but not yet specified for an issue should be cited
as “to be published” [6]. Please give affiliations and
addresses for private communications [7].
Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for
proper nouns and element symbols. If you are preparing a
conference-related paper and are short of space, you may
omit paper titles. However, paper titles are helpful to your
readers and are strongly recommended. For papers
published in translation journals, please give the English
citation first, followed by the original foreign-language
citation [8].
D. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are

Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com) [10]
for equations in your paper (Insert > Object > Create New > [11]
Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over [12]
[13]
text” should not be selected. [14]
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers [15]
in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First use [16]
[17]
the equation editor to create the equation. Then select the [18]
“Equation” markup style. Press the tab key and write the [19]
equation number in parentheses. To make your equations [20]
[21]
more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp [22]
function, or appropriate exponents. Use parentheses to avoid [23]
ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations when they [24]
are part of a sentence, as in [25]
[26]
[27]
r2 [28]
∫0 F(r ,ϕ ) dr dϕ=[ σr 2 ¿ (2 μ 0 )] [29]

[33]
(1) [34]
[35]
[36]
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been [37]
defined before the equation appears or immediately [38]
following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, [39]
[40]
but T is the unit tesla). Refer to “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or [41]
“equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: [42]
“Equation (1) is ... .” [43]
[44]
Please confine equations to one column width and break [45]
equations at appropriate algebraic symbols. [46]
