Instructions for paper submission

Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another journal or conference for consideration of publication. Papers must be written in English and follow the publisher’s templates (www.wkap.com/ifip/styles); they should be at most 16 pages long in total, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. The paper should be intelligible without its appendices. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published in the conference proceedings, by Kluwer Academic Publishers.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper.

Abstracts and papers must be submitted in electronic form through the buttons below. All submissions will be acknowledged electronically. If you have not received an acknowledgment within 72 hours of submitting your abstract or paper electronically, please contact sec-submission@wcc2004.org.

To submit a paper, you must first submit an abstract by 9 February 2004. After abstract sub-mission, the contact author will receive a paper number by e-mail.

Using this paper number, you must then submit the full paper by 16 February 2004, by uploading the corresponding PDF or PostScript file (these are the only accepted formats). Please preview the manuscript in a viewer to ensure its integrity before submitting. Make sure you visually check uncommon fonts, symbols, equations, etc. A defective print can undermine your chances of success.

Papers submitted after 16 February 2004, or for which no abstract has been timely received, will be discarded without review.
