Templates and instructions for Extended Abstracts and Full Papers
Scientific papers according to the themes are subjected to a peer review process to assure maximum quality. The final acceptance of the presented works is based on the result of the review of the full papers, which is performed by the International Scientific Committee. The proceedings are published in collaboration with Taylor & Francis and will be indexed in a bibliographic database.
The Word templates (2 column text) are the same for Extended Abstracts and Full Papers. The only difference is the maximum number of pages allowed. Extended Abstracts are limited to 2 pages. Full papers are limited to 8 pages.
Word templates are located at (link). Besides templates,the same directory contains:
oArtwork.pdf: Instructions on how to submit your artwork (figures)
oConsent.pdf: Form to transfer the copyright
oGuidelines to create PDF file.pdf: how to make a pdf file
oRead Me.pdf: instructions from the conference organizers
oCPI_AR_PDF1.7.joboptions: Job settings that should be used to create the PDF file
oInstructions.pdf: Sample paper with instructions

B2procLe.dot: Microsoft Word Template - template for paper size US-Letter
Please make sure you first read the ReadMe file in the same directory.
Any of the two versions (A4 format or US letter format) are OK to use. The Copyrigth Transfer Form is available in the same directory. It should be submitted with the full paper, but it applies to both extended abstracts and full papers.The job-options file(CPI_AR_PDF1.7.joboptions) in the same directory should be used to create the pdf file. You will need to use the option 'embedded fonts' in pdf-file preparation (see guidelines to create PDF files.pdf). Please be sure that all letter fonts are included when you create the PDF file (see guidelines_to_create_PDF files.pdf). Pdf files from scanned documents are not acceptable.
Please make sure that your paper is prepared and formatted following the instructions for text, figures, references, etc. If a paper does not follow proper format it will be returned to the authors. If the LOC does not get the paper in correct format by the appropriate deadline (for either Extended Abstracts or Full papers), the paper will be rejected.
Please make sure colour figures, if included, print well in black and white, as the extended abstracts will be published as a book with black and white figures. This is less a concern for the electronic book containing full papers.The publisher will reduce your paper to 75% and print it in black. For this reason, please check if your figures will be legible after reduction.
The LOC does not accept any submission via email.
The members of the LOC are looking forward to receive your contribution, and hope to meet you in July 2016 in St. Louis, USA.
