Papers submitted to ISPA'03 must be written in English, with a maximum limit of six A4 pages. These six pages should include ALL the contents of the paper, including abstract, figures, references, etc. The paper formatting instructions, provided by the IEEE Computer Society Press, are modified for A4 page size, and are available here both in a text file (instruct.txt) and in a Word file (instruct.doc). Please do not include page numbers. You can check the resulting PDF document page size by viewing it in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Word users:
The Word file instruct.doc serves also as
a sample of the paper layout that is requested. Please make sure that
the paper size in Word is set to A4 and that the generated Postscript and
PDF files are in A4 format. If you use any non-standard fonts make sure
that the fonts are embedded in PDF file.
LaTeX users:
ISPA_LaTeX.zip - This zipped file contains all
necessary LaTeX files.
Note that both current versions of LaTeX, 2e and 2.09, have the same
macros -- refer to the start of the latex8.sty file for the opening
statement for each.
When converting from dvi to Postscript make sure that you convert your
dvi file to Postscript format using the command:
dvips -P pdf -T A4
"-t A4" option forces generation of A4 paper size.
"-P pdf" option is required to generate correct Postcript file,
which uses Type 1 scalable fonts instead of bitmapped fonts.
This ensures generation of correct PDF files, which can be viewed both
on the monitor screen and can be printed on paper.
