IMPORTANT DEADLINES

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Authors should submit a paper in English of up to 5,000 words, both by e-mail (attached file in an accepted format - see below) and surface mail (2 printed copies) to the conference secretariat (see address below). Papers received after the deadline may be returned unopened. The programme committee will review all papers and the first author of each paper will be notified of acceptance, by email. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable. Authors must also indicate the topic area to which the paper is submitted.

Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the maximum number of pages for each paper is limited to 5 (five). If absolutely needed, it is possible to increase the total number of pages up to 8 pages. However, for each page in excess of 5 the authors must pay an additional fee of £30 for each excess page.

- Format of the paper:

Submitted papers should be formatted for A4 size paper, and must be written in English, and carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling. Papers should be submitted in a 2-column format; each column should be 7.5cm wide, with a space of 0.8cm between the columns. The text should be in Times New Roman, 11pt, justified and single spaced. There should be no headers/footers and no page numbers. Margins requirements are as follows: Top: 3.3 cm; Bottom: 4.2cm; Left 2.6cm; Right: 2.6cm.

The title, author, affiliation(s), contact details, abstract and list of keywords should be justified and single spaced in a single column across the width of the printable area.

The paper should include:

• (a) The title: 14 pt bold type, centered over two columns, and in upper case.
• (b) Authors and affiliations (incl. full address and e-mail) should all be 11 pt, centered, under the title. Authors (bold) and affiliation/contact details (italic) should be centered. For multiple authors use a superscript to indicate affiliation/contact details.
• (c) Abstract: maximum 200 words, 11pt.
• (d) Keywords: maximum of five, under abstract, separated by commas.
• (e) Headings should be numbered and in mixed case 12 pt. bold text. Generally two, and at most three levels of numbered headings should be used.

• (g) Bibliographical references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper, before any appendices. Use 11 pt. single spaced text. References within the text, should be in the Harvard referencing style. Examples are given below: White, R., 1988. Advertising: what it is and how to do it. 2nd ed. London: McGraw Hill.

- Multiple submission:
