submission of final versions of accepted abstracts
The option to submit extended abstracts for consideration for FPSAC 2010 closed on December 10, 2009. This page is intended for those whose submitted extended abstracts have been accepted as talks or posters for FPSAC 2010.
Before submitting a new version of your accepted extended abstract, please follow the guidelines given below. There are requirements for your final submission that are in addition to the requirements for your original submission. These additional requirements are given first. When your revised version is ready, please submit it through the START Conference Manager. The submission page now includes an opportunity for students to indicate their eligibility for the award for the best extended abstract submitted by a graduate student. The deadline for revised submissions is June 15, 2010 (11:59 pm Pacific Time).
The accepted extended abstracts will be published in a proceedings volume of DMTCS (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science). The authors will retain the right to publish a full version of their work in another journal. Authors who do intend to publish a full version elsewhere should, however, make sure that their conference contribution is clearly an extended abstract of this full version.
instructions for authors specific to final version
- Your new submission should consist of your (La)TeX file, along with any supporting files. Since the proceedings are being published in DMTCS, you must continue to use the dmtcs.cls class file.
- Please take special care with the `author', `title', `keywords' commands and the `abstract' environment. None of them should include unbreakable spaces (`\ ' or `~'), non-ascii characters, `\cite' or `\ref' commands, or any user-defined commands. Write out any citations, rather than referencing the bibliography.
- While you were strongly encouraged to include a summary in French in your original version, you are required to do so in your final version. Please contact peter.mcnamara@bucknell.edu if your original submission did not include a French summary and you need help with translation.
- Since the local proceedings will be available in both postscript and pdf formats, please send your figures in both postscript (eps) and pdf formats. The (standard) package graphicx is used by dmtcs.cls to include graphical data; please do not use epsf or similar. Use the includegraphics command to incorporate figures into your extended abstract. Your use of the command can be as simple as
\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure_filename}.Note that the file name is given without an extension (pdf or eps). Don't include the extension of the graphic file in the command! We will be processing your file for both postscript and pdf, so please leave the choice of the desired format to the graphicx package. A typical inclusion of a figure as part of a LaTeX figure environment would look something like:\begin{figure}[htbp] \begin{center} %% Don't use epsfile! \includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure_filename} \caption{Your caption here} \label{fig:figure_label} \end{center} \end{figure} - Extended abstracts, when compiled using the dmtcs.cls class file, should not exceed 12 pages, even after addressing the referees' suggestions. Extended abstracts should be submitted electronically through the START Conference Manager by June 15, 2010 (11:59 pm Pacific Time).
instructions for authors
For your reference, we include here the instructions that were given for your original submission.
In order to prepare your submission, please take the following steps to format your document according to the specifications of DMTCS. Please prepare your document using standard LaTeX. If you have any user macros, please include them in your submission. We thank you very much for your cooperation.
- Please download and unpack the file sample.tar.gz or, if you prefer, download the files it contains individually and place them all in one folder:
- the LaTex class file dmtcs.cls ;
- the main LaTeX file sample.tex ;
- the graphics files dmtcs.pdf and dmtcs.eps .
- If you wish to use BibTeX, you may also want the sample.bib file.
- Please follow the directions given in sample.pdf. When the instructions in sample.pdf are in conflict with the FPSAC-specific instructions given on this page, please follow the instructions on this page.
- Fill in your author and institution information.
- If your title is rather long, please give a short title substitution for the inside headers, e.g. \title[short title]{Long, wordy title} . The same goes for your name, if you have a preferred short form.
- You must provide 3 to 6 keywords in the form \keywords{keyword1, keyword2, keyword3} that describe the topic of your paper.
-
Include a summary with citations written out rather than referencing the bibliography. FPSAC/SFCA has a tradition of encouraging bilingualism, and thus you are strongly encouraged to include a summary in French. There are people available to help with this, if help is required.
In addition, since Spanish is an official language of FPSAC 2010, authors have the option of including a summary in Spanish. Please format your summary as follows (note the nested structure):
\begin{abstract} \paragraph{Abstract.} text in english \paragraph{R\'esum\'e.} texte en françaisOptional:\paragraph{Resumen.} texto en espagñol \end{abstract} - Extended abstracts, when compiled using the dmtcs.cls class file, should not exceed 12 pages. They should be submitted electronically through the START Conference Manager as either postscript or pdf files (see above for requirements for final submissions).
participant support
The conference expects to provide limited financial support to contribute to travel and living expenses during the conference. First priority will be given to graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty, and--in some exceptional cases--to qualified undergraduates. We encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.
The option to apply for financial support for FPSAC 2010 closed on April 1, 2010.
