Submission format

All electronic submissions must be in PDF format and prepared for 8.5 x 11 inch paper (US letter size). The cover page should include

1. title,
2. authors and affiliation,
3. postal and e-mail address of the contact author,
4. a brief abstract describing the content of the paper, and
5. an indication of whether this is a regular presentation or a brief announcement

Submissions of regular presentations should include the cover page followed by an introduction understandable to a nonspecialist including motivation and previous work, and a technical exposition directed to a specialist. It should not exceed 10 pages in 11-point font or larger (excluding the cover page and the references). More details (such as figures and proofs) may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to be read at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions for the SPAA brief announcements should be no longer than 3 pages (excluding the cover page) on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font. Papers significantly deviating from these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

For authors who are not sure about the right format, a simple Latex template can be accessed here.
