Submissions
Submission of final versions of accepted abstracts
The option to submit extended abstracts for consideration for
FPSAC 2013 closed on November 23, 2012. This page is
intended for those whose submitted extended abstracts have been
accepted as talks or posters.
Before submitting a new version of your accepted extended abstract,
please follow the guidelines given below. There are
requirements for your final submission that are in addition to the
requirements for your original submission. These additional
requirements are given first. When your revised version is ready,
please submit it through the START
Conference Manager (the possibility of uploading your submission may not be available yet on the server. If this is the case, please wait for a few days). The submission page includes an
opportunity for students to indicate their eligibility for the award
for the best extended abstract submitted by a graduate student. The authors must all be students. The
deadline for revised submissions is
April 29, 2013 at 23:59 (PST)
.
The accepted extended abstracts will be published in a proceedings
volume of DMTCS (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer
Science). The authors will retain the right to publish a full
version of their work in another journal. Authors who do intend to
publish a full version elsewhere should, however, make sure that their
conference contribution is clearly an extended abstract of this full
version.
Instructions for authors specific to final version
- Your new submission should consist of:
- your LaTeX file
- All files required to compile the file. Since the proceedings are being published
in DMTCS, you must continue to use the dmtcs.cls class file;
- A PDF file of your submission compiled from these.
- Please take special care with the `author', `title', `keywords'
commands and the `abstract' environment. None of them should
include unbreakable spaces (`\ ' or `~'), non-ascii characters,
`\cite' or `\ref' commands, or any user-defined commands. Write out
any citations, rather than referencing the bibliography.
- While you were strongly encouraged to include a summary in French
in your original version, you are required to do so in your
final version. If you are not a French speaker then, as a first
option, ask a French speaking colleague to provide an abstract. If you
cannot find anyone to help, please contact mmishna[at
sign]sfu.ca and we will provide a translation.
- The final proceedings will be in PDF format. So, please send your
figures in pdf formats. The (standard) package graphicx is used by
dmtcs.cls to include graphical data; please do not use epsf or
similar. Use the includegraphics command to incorporate figures into
your extended abstract. Your use of the command can be as simple as
\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure_filename}
Note that the file name is given without an extension (pdf or
eps). Don't include the extension of the graphic file in the command!
Please leave the choice of the desired format to the graphicx
package. A typical inclusion of a figure as part of a LaTeX
figure environment would look something like:
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
%% Don't use epsfile!
\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure_filename}
\caption{Your caption here}
\label{fig:figure_label}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
- Extended abstracts, when compiled using the dmtcs.cls
class file, must not exceed 12 pages, even after addressing the
referees' suggestions. Extended abstracts should be submitted
electronically through the START
Conference Manager
- Finally, please fill in the copyright form and send it to
fpsac13[at]liafa.univ-paris-diderot.fr before May 1st 2013.
It is important that we have your copyright form before May 1st. Thank you!
Note for authors of posters:
The maximum size of a poster is vertical A0, i.e.
