Please note that it is extremely important to adhere to the instructions and deadlines. If you do not follow the guidelines for preparing your electronic format paper, we may not be able to include your contribution in the proceedings. If you miss the deadlines, there is no guarantee that your paper can be included. Please ensure that you include all forms fully completed in one package with your submission.

The conference proceedings will be prepared in electronic format. There will be a book of printed summaries which will be typeset by Civil-Comp Press. The conference papers will appear on a CD-ROM. The papers must be supplied by you in electronic format and Civil-Comp will convert them and add a uniform title block to each of them.

However, the submission procedure is not electronic. All information and forms that you need to return to us are available from this webpage. You must print out the forms, complete them and return them to the editor by post (NOT EMAIL) together with media containing the electronic form of your paper and your summary.

Please follow the checklist:

1.	Download and print out the submission form. Complete ALL the required information on the form.
2.	Print out this copyright form two-sided, complete it and sign it.
3.	Print out the format template for the main paper. Please be careful to print the template to true scale (100%). Do not select the fit to page option. Next download and print the paper formatting instructions. You could also download the following: LaTeX preamble for the paper LaTeX preamble for the summary MS Word example document for the paper MS Word example document for the summary
4.	Prepare your paper according to the instructions and information you printed or downloaded before. Save your paper on any of the accepted media formats. Please make sure that you send source document files (i.e. MS Word files or LaTeX file and eps figures). Do NOT send PDF files.
5.	Prepare a summary following the additional instructions given below. Please do not confuse the summary with the abstract you initially sent to the conference editor or special session organiser. The summary is based upon your full length-paper and has the same formatting instructions.
6.	Send the following items in ONE package to the editor's postal address: The completed and signed copyright form. A printout of the summary. A printout of the paper. The electronic files of the summary on the medium of your choice. The electronic files of the paper on the medium of your choice. The completed submission form (checklist). Please make sure you are sending us the final version of your paper and NOT a draft. We cannot accept modifications or second versions after submission. Please ensure that the person submitting the paper is available in the six weeks after the submission period (at the address, tel, fax and email given on the submission form) to make corrections to paper if required by us because of non-compliance with the instructions.

The editor's postal address is:

The submission deadline is clearly stated in the important dates section of each conference description. If possible please send your submission earlier. Do not send duplicate versions.

The summary should be formatted according to the same template as the full paper with the same page layout, font, spacing, reference conventions, etc. It is therefore easier to prepare the paper first.

• The length of the summary should be between 300 and 500 words (including the references and keywords).
• In the grey shaded area on the first page you should include the following extra information: Paper title, author(s) names and affiliations in the following style:

  THE ROLE OF FOOTBALL IN A TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

  A.B. Smith¹ and J-F. Wesson²,
  ¹Centre for Special Studies, Tower University, London, England,
  ²Institute of Computer Generated Information, University of Ostend, Belgium.

  Please note: The affiliations should be in English without abbreviations. Author's first names are abbreviated to initials. This information is used to prepare the title block for your main paper. If you make sure it is correct then we can ensure your title block is correct too.

• The summary should clearly state what is new in the paper and the major conclusions.
• The summary must consist of text alone. Figures, graphs and equations are NOT permitted in the summary.
• The summary is different from the abstract in your full paper. It includes a full description of the paper and is generally longer. Please note your full paper abstract should be around 100 words. This summary should be 300-500 words. They are NOT the same!
• All references listed at the end of the summary should be cited within the text of the summary.

Please note that you must read and comply with the above specifications for the summary. Failure to do so, will result in your paper being rejected. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY!
