Abstract. This document provides information and instructions for preparing a paper to be included in the
Proceedings of the CESARE’17 International Conference. The paper file format must use the Portable Document
format (.pdf), but the MS Word 2000 and later (.doc) format as well as the MS Rich text format (.rtf) are acceptable
as well. Follow this order when typing your paper: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Keywords, Abstract, Main text,
Acknowledgements, References.
1 INTRODUCTION
The proceedings will be edited in a CD-ROM, including the texts and figures, using Portable Document Format
(PDF). Afterwards, the CD will be forwarded to the publisher, who will produce a booklet containing the CD
augmented with a browser and an index. The editors will translate the paper from MS-Word or MS-Rich Text Format
to PDF. For this purpose:
- In the case of submission by e-mail, please upload the paper in one of the aforementioned formats, as attachment.
If needed, the following file compression tools may also be used: Winzip or WinRar.
- In the unlikely case where e-mail is not possible, submission can be done by courier service, using a CD, a flash
memory stick or a 3.5'' DOS formatted diskette, containing:
a)
The MS-Word, MS-RTF or PDF files.
b)
A hard copy printout of the file should also be included.
All this information may seem redundant, but it is probably the best way to avoid errors. A second storage device
containing exactly the same information should be sent to serve as backup. All material should be clearly labeled with
the title of the paper, the corresponding author and the type of word processing used. If needed, the following file
compressors may be used: Winzip or WinRar.
The best way to label the electronic files containing the text material is “First.A.Author_CESARE14.extension”.
Please upload the paper following the guidelines at the CESARE’17 website. All pertinent addresses are collected
at the end of this set of instructions.
