Authors presenting a paper at the symposium are pleased to perform the final
lay-out according to the instructions below:

Get instructions as:

   * Postscript (53 KBytes)
   * Postscript, compressed (22 KBytes)

If you did not yet receive a letter with the formal acceptance note
including the guidelines and if also, for any reason, you cant access or
print the postscript files, please send an e-mail or fax indicating your fax
number. You will then receive the instructions by fax.

According to many questions we are currently receiving concerning the
formatting in LaTeX, we state the following: We've prepared a LaTeX version
of the guidelines ourselves, since the editor could only provide a version
on paper. Doing so, we've also noted, that this format is not easy to obtain
in LaTeX. To do the job, we've thus created a version mainly formatted by
hand. You may perhaps want to get the file as a sample:

   * Get the LaTeX-version of the instructions.

Authors having difficulties with the style required may note the following:
It is absolutely required, that the page-formating corresponds to the
guidelines and that a 10-point times-roman font is chosen. For the optical
appearance of the book, it would be nice to be as closed as possible to the
detailed formatting advises. Slight variations may however not disturb too
much.

Due to a French law it is required that all papers presented in France are
supplemented by a title and an abstract in French language . French
abstracts should have the same size and content as their English
counterparts in the papers. As guideline for the length of abstracts, please
refer to the instructions. Since this may be difficult to do for non French
speaking persons, we propose the following:

   * If you are a good French speaker, you are pleased to provide us a
     translation of the title and abstract. Please send it along with the
     paper in printed form and, if possible e-mail it to the organizers as
     LaTeX or ascii.
   * If you have difficulties in writing a French abstract, it will be
     written for you. Note however, that this may falsify the contents. If
     ever possible, avoid not to send a French version.
   * Please do not include the French abstract in your English paper, but
     use a separated sheet.

Please note, that all papers will be reviewed before being accepted for
publication in the symposium proceedings. Good emphasis on original work and
new results are therefore strongly encouraged. Please check your paper
thoroughly after typing. To allow for eventual changes and to be on time for
printing, the paper should be received by us no later then May, 20, 1996.

All contributions from delegates, regardless the scheduling for oral or
poster presentations are restricted to 8 pages (format 120mm width x 180mm
height, font with 10pt), please see instructions. All papers exceeding 8
pages will be charged $80.00 (FF 410.00) per each additional two pages, to
cover the higher printing costs. Papers in excess of 12 pages cannot be
included.

Sending your paper:

The editor requires the papers as hard-copies. To transfer the paper to us,
you may do one of the following:

   * Send us the paper and two copies by normal mail. If possible use an
     express delivery and in any case air-mail for long distances. If you
     send your paper from Africa, Asia, Overseas or eastern European
     countries, please fax it as well to INSA, Fax-Nr.: +33 35 52 83 32
     since mailing may sometimes take long.
   * Send a full ready to print PS-version of the paper, compressed or
     gzipped and uuencoded by e-mail to: rouen96@vug.uni-duisburg.de Please
     do NOT use PC-like packing or any other but compress and gzip.

If the size of the files is too large for reasonable e-mails, we may also
open up an incoming ftp-server for you. You may as well indicate us where we
may get it via ftp from you.

Very important: Please send your papers directly to one of the members of
the organizing committee and NOT to the editor.

Presentations in oral sessions:

All papers will be presented in plenary sessions. Oral presentations are
scheduled for 20 minutes including a few minutes for discussion. Authors are
thus pleased to concentrate on the essentials of their papers. We recomend
overhead projection. Upon request, slides projection is also available.

Presentations in poster sessions:

Poster presentation will include an optional five minutes plenary oral
introduction by the authors during a consecrated session, and around sixty
minutes presentation time for the poster itself. Poster sessions are thus
intended to provide opportunity for efficient informal discussion on more
specific topics. Authors, presenting a paper in a poster session are thus
pleased to give a summarizing overview of their work, when introducing it.
