All Civil-Comp conferences are based on the no-abstract, no-paper, no-podium rule. This means that to make a presentation you must submit your paper by the due date in the specified format. Papers may be submitted only when the abstract of the paper has been accepted. So if you wish to present a paper at the conference you MUST submit an abstract of your paper by the specified date.

Please remember that submission dates are final and abstracts and papers should be submitted earlier and not later than the specified date.

The abstract should clearly state what is new in the paper.

Abstracts can be submitted in two ways:

• by using the electronic form below (preferred)
• by email to the conference Editors

Details of the conference Editors email are a given on the appropriate conference web page.

If you decide not to use the electronic form (because for example it contains equations or figures), please download the following abstract submission form and include it with a PDF version of your abstract. Abstracts submitted by email and not accompanied by the submission form may be sent back.

• Do not submit the same abstract to more than one conference!
• Abstracts should be 200 to 1000 words.
• In the electronic submsission form all fields (except the special session) are compulsory.
• Please format author names and affiliations in the following style:

  A.B. Smith* and J.F. Wesson+,
  *Centre for Special Studies, Tower University, London, England,
  +Institute of Computer Generated Information, University of Western Flanders, Ostend, Belgium.

  Please note: The affiliations should be in English without abbreviations. Author's first names are abbreviated to initials.

• The title should be maximum 80 characters long including spaces between words.
• Keywords: 6-12 keywords should in decreasing order of importance indicate the topics addressed by your paper.
• Corresponding author: name, title, full postal address, telephone, fax and email. Please note that this information must be accurate if you are to receive further conference information including acknowledgements, acceptances, registration information and paper preparation details. Ideally the corresponding author should be the person who will present the paper at the conference but it may be appropriate for another co-author to be the corresponding author. We can only hold the name of one corresponding author with respect to each paper.
