3) Page Size and Page Breaks:

Submissions that do not conform to the given template standards will be returned to the author. Do not change page size. Do not change letter/word/line spacing. Be sure that there are no bad page or column breaks -- Meaning no widows or orphans (last line of a paragraph at the top of a column). If this happens, either tighten the previous column or force a line feed. Section and Sub-section headings should remain with at least two lines of body text when near the end of a page or column. Do not modify the margins of the paper to gain space. If the margins are modified, the paper will be returned to the author.

4) Figures:

Figures may be printed in black and white (grayscale). We suggest that you test print a black and white version your paper to ensure that the illustrations reproduce well. Figures will appear in their original color in the pdf-files in the publisher's digital library. We recommend images to be at least 300 or 600 dpi for quality reproduction.

5) Fonts:

Paper should have Type 1 fonts (scalable), not Type 3 (bit-mapped). All fonts must be embedded within the PDF file. Remember to check that all fonts are embedded and included in the figure correctly (Tip: try to avoid non-standard font sets in your figures).

6) Page Numbers, Headers, and Footers:

The final submission MUST NOT contain any footer in the footer area, headers, line or page numbers. The papers will be paginated in a determined order by the chair.

7) Footnotes:

Footnotes should be numbered in consecutive order throughout the text.

8) Acknowledgements:

The placement of the Acknowledgements is after the actual text of the paper, just before the References section, and after any Appendix(es). All acknowledgements of financial support must be placed as the first footnote below the first column of the paper. Write the Acknowledgements in the third person.

9) Camera-ready Submission:

Authors of accepted papers will be notified via easychair.

At least one author per accepted paper must contact the Program Chair(s) and Publication Chair as soon as possible.

Finally, authors of accepted papers are encouraged to address reviewers comments and suggestions in their camera ready version of the manuscript. Authors may be requested to send to the Publication Chair a document explaining how they addressed each reviewer comment in their final version of the paper. Delays in accomplishing this task may entail delays in the publication of the proceedings volume.
