Final Paper Submission (for accepted papers only)
- The proceedings of COCOON'2003 will be published in the Springer-Verlag
series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Read carefully Springer's
instructions on preparing the manuscript before you submit
the final version, check LNCS's
Authors Instructions for these guidelines.
- We request that you use the llncs.cls style file, which is available
from
LNCS and can be downloaded over here
. Using other styles might delay the publication process. If you have some
technical questions on Latex2e, try to ask an expert and we are also willing
to help.
- One author of each accepted paper must sign the
copyright form, try to download it from
Springer's Copyright Form.
Your signed copyright
form must be sent to us, either by Fax or mail, on or before
April 28, 2003.
- The final submission comprises three components:
- a single-sided, camera-ready printout (not a photocopy)
of the final version of your contribution (maximum length
10 pages),
- completed and signed copyright form,
- electronic files:
- your source (input) files, (e.g., .tex files for the
text and .eps files for the figures),

TeX),
- the final PostScript file (not in reverse page order),
- if possible, the pdf file of the final version of your paper.
Please send your printed manuscript and copyright form carefully packed to:

form by April 28, 2003
at the latest. Please mind the mailing delays
and post your submission early enough.

Recommendation:
To avoid confusion, name all files in the following fashion: Use
always 8 characters plus an extension (cocnNNNC.XXX). cocn is a
fixed string. NNN is your submission number with possible leading
zeros. To distinguish several files of the same type (e.g., EPS
files) use characters a, b, c,... in the field C. XXX identifies
the file type (tex, ps, etc.). For example, the files in a final
submission could be named cocn023a.tex, cocn023a.dvi, cocn023a.ps,
cocn023a.eps, cocn023b.eps, and cocn023c.eps. We would appreciate if
you could compress the files with zip, tar, tar.gz, or tar.Z format.
Use cocnNNN as the base name for the compressed file (e.g.,
cocn023.zip).
Following these instructions not only makes the organizer's life easier,
it is very possible that it will also make your own life easier (e.g.,
you will not be asked to re-send your files, etc). If you have any
questions concerning the final submission, contact
cocoon03@cs.montana.edu.
