Final steps

When your paper has been accepted for the conference you can submit your manuscript for publication. The required formats can be checked under Final Manuscripts. The format is the same for all papers to be published, also poster papers.

We wish to simulate the usual appearance of typeset papers in technical journals. Accordingly please follow the instructions for the final manuscripts as closely as possible. Also note that all papers have to be registered for, which can be done through the web site. Contributions cannot be included, unless registration, proof of full payment of the fee, manuscripts and abstract are received by the dates specified under Important Dates. It may not be possible to include manuscripts in the conference proceedings, if they are not prepared according to the instructions as described.

Presentation at the conference

Each paper, apart from poster papers, will be presented orally by one of the authors. The time assigned for each paper is 20 minutes, including 5 minutes for discussion; the indicated time for presentations does not apply to keynote, plenary or tutorial speakers. The conference language is English. Each conference room is provided with an overhead projector for transparent films and a data projector for powerpoint presentations.

For any further requirements the Congress Organizer must be contacted by email one (1) month prior to the conference. We will then inform you as soon as possible about options and costs. The organizers will try to honour special scheduling requests, but cannot guarantee to do so. Requests must be received as early as possible. Poster papers are presented in special poster sessions. The subjects are discussed and authors will get peer feedback on their work. Authors of poster papers are responsible for the composition of the poster. The measurements can be maximum 39.37 inch (100 cm) wide by 59.05 inch (150 cm) high. There is no specific format required.

Form of Proceedings

Proceedings will be available at the congress in the form of a printed abstracts booklet including a CD- ROM with the full papers. ICSC will not publish a printed edition with the full papers. All accepted papers (also poster papers) will be included in the congress proceedings, published by NAISO Academic Press, Canada/The Netherlands.

Possible is also the inclusion of tutorial and workshop papers, plenary and/or keynote presentations, if respective material has been submitted in time.

A selected number of papers will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in special issues of leading international journals.
