Style Guide

This page documents briefly the style recommanded for submission of papers and required for the camera-ready paper version for the technical programme of ECAI-2004 and PAIS-2004

The style for papers in the proceedings is basically the same as for previous years. The style is described in an example paper available as a postscript document and a PDF document. It is also supported through the provision of latex style files, including the source for the guidelines paper.


Submission procedure

Submission is a two-stage process. It will be described in detail in the ECAI-2004 Call for Papers and the PAIS-2004 Call for Papers.

Blind reviewing

Reviewing for ECAI-2004 and PAIS-2004 will be blind to the identities of the authors and their institutions. To allow for blind reviewing replace the authors line in your paper by the unique tracking number assigned by the submission of the summary form (or leave it empty in case you are not able to use the web-based summary submission form). Please avoid identifying self-references. Replace phrases like "We have shown in [n] ..." by "In [n] it has been shown ...".

Formatting guidelines

It is highly recommended to submit papers using the final camera-ready formatting style. Submissions must not exceed five pages in camera-ready format. Submissions of unformatted papers are limited to 6000 words including footnotes, figure captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page of figures will be counted as 600 words. (Please note that for some papers five camera-ready pages may be considerably less than 6000 words in practice.) Overlength submissions will be rejected without review. Authors submitting unformatted papers must include a word count on their paper.
