Author Guidelines
Camera-Ready Papers.
The ER2003 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series. Springer-Verlag publishes a full-text electronic version
of LNCS in parallel with the printed version, thus the electronic source
of accepted papers is required (Springer-Verlag strongly prefers the
LaTeX 2e format, but Word format is acceptable). See the Springer site
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
for author instructions. Please follow the author instructions
carefully.
Be sure to respond to referee comments in revising
your camera-ready papers.
Research papers are limited to 14 pages. (Workshop papers are limited
to 12 pages, and will be published in a separate proceedings -- contact your
workshop chair for instructions.) Extra pages are available for $150/page,
but the number of extra pages available is limited. If you wish to reserve
1 or 2 extra pages, send an e-mail to the
volume editors.
Industry abstracts are limited to 2 pages and may be sent in electronic
form only (no hard copy required) if the paper is easy for the editors
to print. Word, WordPerfect, LaTeX should all be fine.
Please send your camera-ready papers to the program committee co-chairs
by June 14. You must send both a printed copy and an electronic copy of
your paper. Send the printed copy (on U.S. letter or A4 paper) to:

Please send the electronic copy as a compressed archive via e-mail to

etc.), but please send only a single archive file. For authors using a
word processor, send the original file. For authors using LaTeX, send
all the files needed to compile your paper. Also include a PDF or
PostScript copy of the paper. Please name your archive according to your
paper number, e.g., er2003paper101.zip. In the subject line or your
e-mail write "ER2003 Camera Ready Paper 101".
In your e-mail, please
tell us what changes you have made in response to referee comments.
Springer requires a signed copyright form with each paper. Only

Springer Web site
to get the copyright form. For the first two fields, write the
following:
