1. General

In order to ensure high quality of the volume of abstracts the authors are kindly asked to submit extended two-page abstracts in English in a form suitable for photo-copying (camera-ready). The aim of such abstracts is firstly to advertise the topic considered in the paper and secondly to provide the readers with some detailed information. Please, describe briefly the area of interest, basic assumptions and method used and highlight the main results of the paper. A list of basic references is recommended.

Note that this kind of publication serves the above mentioned aims and is by no means a full length paper. The authors are encouraged to submit full-length papers for the NATO Science Series published by Kluwer after the Workshop (please, refer to the Second Circular for more information).

The abstracts must reach the Organizing Committee by September 30 2002.

2. Paper size, margins and paper length

Please, use the standard A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper size. Allow 2-cm left and right margins and 2.5 cm top and bottom margins (use the typing area of 17 x 24.7 cm). Contributions longer than two pages or having bad presentation in terms of English language or typing quality will not be included in the volume of abstracts.

Two copies printed using a laser printer on a good quality white paper are required (do not type on two sides).

3. Font size, spacing, title, headings

Times Roman fonts of 12 point size should be used throughout all the paper with single spacing between lines of text.

The title should be left aligned in all capital characters and bold face. Do not leave any additional space above the title. The title should be followed by authors names (bold-italic) and respective affiliations (italic, indented by 1 cm). Leave two empty lines between the title and authors names and three empty lines between the affiliation (Institution, city, and country) and the beginning of the text. In order to save space, the affiliation should not include the full address of your Institution, which will be given in a separate participant list.

The section headings (if used) should be left aligned with no indentation set in bold face with extra space of 12 points above and 6 points below. The paragraphs should be left and right justified with 1-cm indentation of the first line. Page numbers must not be typed on the sheets.

4. Tables, figures and equations

Figures, tables and their captions should be centred and numbered. Leave 12 points above and below the figure/table.
