Obtaining the LaTeX macros: -------------------------- Contributions must be formatted with LaTeX using the LaTeX macros which are available from the Springer ftp host via the URL: http://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/beiglphys/proc/ Please read the instructions in the file ftpinfo.txt, and then retrieve the files in the "author" directory and its subdirectories. Preparing your contribution: --------------------------- The files 1readme.PDF (pdf format) and 1readme.doc (MS Word format) contain detailed instructions for authors. The file author.tex contains a sample contribution, which can be used as a template for your own text. The files author.dvi and 2demo.ps are the .dvi and .ps files generated by running LaTeX and dvips on author.tex, and the file figure.eps is a sample figure. If you include your own LATEX command definitions, please keep these to an absolute minimum, and do not change the macros. Figures should be provided as PostScript files and should if possible be incorporated in your contribution using a package such as the "graphicx" package used in the demo file author.tex. Page limits: ----------- The page limits are: Invited paper: 6 pages Oral contributed paper: 3 pages Poster paper: 3 pages Please try to observe these limits. It is anticipated that some editorial overview will be exercised and authors may be requested to make changes to their papers. Colour illustrations: -------------------- Due to the high cost of colour plates (up to around DM 1000/page) we can accept them only at the expense of the author. Submitting your contribution: ---------------------------- Please e-mail the LaTeX source file of your contribution, and PostScript files of any figures, to roma2000@ias.rm.cnr.it. The deadline for receipt of manuscripts is JANUARY 31, 2001. Refereeing process ------------------- The editors will take provision to ask to the authors for amendments of their paper on the basis of a referee report.
