Submission News

You will now need to provide us with a final version of the paper, according to the instructions for authors that are here

Please read the following items carefully for important news regarding ISMM'2002

1. The page limit for the final paper has been increased from 8 to 10. Please make sure that your final paper does not exceed 10 pages in length.

2. You will need to send us the revised version of the paper by Monday, January 14th 2002. This is very soon but we cannot afford any delay as the publishing deadline is very tight. We want to have the proceedings ready at the conference. Your paper will likely not be included in the proceedings if you do not submit your revised paper by that time, in the appropriate format.

3. You must take into account the referees' comments and correct your paper accordingly.

4. Because of submission and shipping delays we cannot have the proceedings published by Kluwer this time (ISMM proceedings have been traditionally handled by them). However the proceeding will still be published as a proper book, handled by CSIRO publishing. The book will be a high-quality hard cover which we expect will match previous conference's. Also this move has a number of positive outcomes:

• The proceedings are significantly cheaper, so the registration costs will be lower. The proceedings will be provided at cost.
  
• You will not be asked to give up your copyright to your paper, only to give CSIRO an exclusive permission to publish in print. As a result you will be able to put up your paper on your own web site if you wish without breaking copyright laws, for example.
• A CD of the proceedings will be available with each copy (with all the proceedings in electronic form). This means that colour illustrations are acceptable, for example. Short animated sequences and extra material (e.g. source code, etc) are also allowable.
• The proceedings will be available on the WWW at no cost, hopefully ensuring a wider distribution of your contribution.
• Unlike with Kluwer, the proceedings will be available as books after the conference for a reasonable price.

We hope these considerations will outweigh the negative of not being published by a large publication house like Kluwer.

5. In spite of the above we are still using the Kluwer style file for consistency with previous conferences. Please follow the instructions carefully. The style files are available on the conference site:

NOTE that these style file *CAN* be used with LaTeX2e without any problem.

Thank you very much for your contribution, and we are looking
forward to seeing you in Sydney in April 2002.

On behalf of the ISMM2002 committee,

Hugues Talbot & Richard Beare.
