Guidelines for paper submission

The deadline for full paper submission (4–6 pages) is June 20, 2007. Papers are to be sent by e-mail to specom2007@mail.ru. All manuscripts must be in English. Please note that the size of a single letter must not exceed 10 Megabytes (that is, the total size of all the attached files should not be greater than 7 Megabytes to leave room for recoding operations performed by the e-mail software). In case the paper files are larger than 7 Megabytes, it is recommended to pack them into a split WinRar or WinZip archive and send part by part in a series of letter.
In the following you will find guidelines for preparing your full paper to SPECOM’07 electronically.

• To achieve the best viewing experience both for the Proceedings and the CD (or DVD), we strongly encourage you to use Times Roman font. This is needed in order to give the Proceedings a uniform look. You can download a sample file here.
• Authors are requested to submit PDF files of their manuscripts, generated from the original Microsoft Word sources. PDF files can be generated with commercially available tools or with free software such as PDFCreator.
• Paper Title - The paper title must be in boldface. All non-function words must be capitalized, and all other words in the title must be lower case. The paper title is centered.
• Authors' Names - The authors' names (italicized) and affiliations (not italicized) appear centered below the paper title.
• Abstract - Each paper must contain an abstract that appears at the beginning of the paper.
• Major Headings - Major headings are in boldface.
• Sub Headings - Sub headings appear like major headings, except that they are in italics and not bold face.
• References - Number and list all references at the end of the paper. The references are numbered in order of appearance in the document. When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference number in square brackets as shown at the end of this sentence [1].
• Illustrations - Please caption and number every illustration. All half-tone or color illustrations must be clear when printed in black and white. It is preferable that you put all the pictures you use in separate files linked to the MS Word document rather than embed them in the .doc (.rtf) file. If possible, please use the JPEG format for halftone pictures and GIF for lineart ones.
• Do NOT include headers and footers. The page numbers, session numbers and conference identification will be inserted automatically in a post processing step, at the time of printing the Proceedings.
• Apart from the paper in PDF format, authors can upload multimedia files to illustrate their submission. Multimedia files can be used to include materials such as sound files or movies. The proceedings CD (DVD) will NOT contain readers or players, so only widely accepted file formats should be used, such as MPEG, Windows WAVE PCM (.wav) or Windows Media Video (.wmv), using only standard codecs to maximize compatibility. Authors must ensure that they have sufficient author rights to the material that they submit for publication. Archives (RAR, ZIP or ARJ format) are allowed. The archives will be unpacked on the CD (DVD), so that authors can refer to the file name of the multimedia illustration from within their paper. The submitted files will be accessible from the abstract card on the CD (DVD) and via a bookmark in the manuscript. The total unzipped size of the multimedia files should be reasonable. It is recommended that they do not exceed 32 Megabytes.
• Although no copyright forms are required, the authors must agree that their contribution, when accepted, will be archived by the Organizing Committee.
  Authors must proofread their manuscripts before submission and they must proofread the exact files which they submit.
