Papers must be submitted in English, with PS/PDF extension, at the following web page: www.discsubmission.org.

A submission for a regular presentation must report on original research that has not previously appeared and has not been concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings. Any overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.

Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages on letter paper using 11 point font (Times-Roman or similar), single spaced with 13.2 point leading (baselineskip), with a text block of 6.5 inches wide by 9 inches tall. The page limit includes title and abstract but excludes references. Additional details may be included in a clearly-marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Submission templates for LaTeX and Word are available here: disctemplate.tex, disctemplate.docx. The templates are provided for convenience; authors may use other word processors or templates that meet the format guidelines above

A brief announcement submission must not exceed 3 pages in the same format. It is permissible for the material in brief announcements to be published in other conferences.

Submissions not conforming to these rules will not be reviewed.

If requested on the submission system, a regular submission can be also considered for publication as a brief announcement. This choice will not affect consideration of the paper as a regular submission.
