Acceptance of contributions will be determined on the basis of
Draft Final Papers. Each paper must explain clearly
- what problem it is trying to address,
- what has been tried before and why it isn't good enough,
- WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHY IT IS BETTER,
- some proof that your method is sound (or reference to it),
- how it will help others/apply to other problems,
- some results/proof it works.
Draft Final Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced A4 pages
(maximum 43 lines, max. line length 160 mm, 12 point), in
English. They have to contain the final text to be submitted,
including graphs and pictures. However, these need not be of
reproducible quality.
They must carry the title, author(s)
name(s), and affiliation (incl. e-mail address, if possible) in
this order, and must include an abstract.
Please specify the symposium in which you would like to
present your paper. Each scientist shall submit only one
paper. Please send four hard copies of the Draft Final
Paper to the Conference Secretariat (not to symposia
chairpersons!) Electronic or fax submissions cannot be
accepted.
October 20, 1999
Submissions received after the deadline cannot be considered.
Authors will be notified about acceptance or rejection no later
than December 7, 1999. Successful authors will be provided by
the conference secretariat at the same time with the
instructions for the preparation of the final paper, which will
also be available via ftp and World-Wide Web.
The final paper will be limited to a maximum of 6 pages
(10-point, double column). Camera-ready copies of the final
paper will be due at the conference secretariat by February 11,
2000. Acceptance of the final paper will be based on compliance
with the reviewers' comments.
The EMCSR'2000 Proceedings will be printed using the photo-offset print
process directly from camera-ready copy furnished by the authors. To
ensure that all papers in the Proceedings have a uniform appearance,
authors are asked to adhere to the instructions to be found
here.
