Instructions for Authors

Abstracts, papers and their final versions should be submitted electronically via dedicated pages

• paper submission (note: paper must not contain authors' data!): (will be available soon)
• conference registration (for those who do not submit any paper): (will be available soon)

If you have any problems using these forms, please contact us at jacek.wachowicz@zie.pg.gda.pl. If the problem persists, a paper can be submitted by email as well. In this case, please send the abstract and the paper in two separate attachments to jacek.wachowicz@zie.pg.gda.pl. Papers must be written in English or in Polish. All important dates can be found here.

Editorial notes

A submission is supposed to consist of two separate parts:

• the data describing paper - the title of the paper, the authors' names together with their affiliations and email addresses, and a contact address - this part is entered in conference's paper management system only;
• the text of the paper itself (including abstract) - with no information about authors. Please keep in mind that the final version of the paper (which will include also the authors' names, the abstract etc.) should not exceed 12 pages. An additional fee will be charged for pages exceeding the limit (see the details here).

MS-Word 97 or MS-Word 2000. We strongly recommend using ecom_eng.doc, which contains an example Word document with all the necessary styles defined.

For those who do not want to (or cannot) use the templates we offer some instructions with respect to the text layout:

• the page format should be A4, and the printing area should be 122mm x 193mm (left margin = right margin = 4.4cm, top margin = bottom margin = 5.2cm);
• the main text should be set to 10-point Roman or Times font with single-lined spacing, and justified to occupy the whole line width. In consequence, some 45 lines should occur on a full-text page;
• the title should be 14-point bold, centered;
• subtitles: the 1st-level headings (section titles) - 12 point bold, justified; the 2nd- and the 3rd-level headings (subsection titles) - 10 point bold, justified;
• please produce your figures electronically (if possible) and integrate them with the text of your paper into one file. If you cannot provide your figures electronically, paste originals into the manuscript and center them between the margins. Please remember that in both cases the figures will be reproduced in black and white!
• the list of references (headed simply "References") should be placed at the end of the paper.

If you need some rest while preparing the paper, you may read how you can have your paper rejected. The manual was prepared mainly for mathematicians. Most remarks, however, are pretty universal.

Preparing the final version of a paper

After the notification of acceptance, the authors of accepted papers will have to prepare camera-ready versions of their papers. The final version of a paper must conform to the reviewers' remarks, and has to be prepared page layout definitions (see above). The final version of a paper have to include: the title, the authors' names with their affiliations and email addresses, an abstract, the text of the paper, and the list of references (bibliography). The whole paper should not exceed 12 pages, or an additional charge must be paid (see the details here). The layout requirements are the same as before.
