Instructions for Authors

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings, or has submitted/is planning to submit before the author notification deadline to a journal or other conferences/workshops that have proceedings.

Submission Format:

• The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.
• The length of the submission should be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. It should be in single column format, use at least 11-point fonts, and have reasonable margins.
• The submission should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. .

Decisions and Presentation: Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors on May 7, 2007. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
