along with the PHYSICA E version (see separate instructions). The envelope has to be marked clearly "PAPER".

At the same time, the authors are encouraged to send an electronic copy of their camera-ready manuscript for the workbook to the e-mail address ep2ds14@fzu.cz as attachment(s). The electronic submission in general speeds up the production procedure and yields better results; however, the hardcopy is obligatory as it is the last chance to get your work printed when something goes wrong. Note: you still have to bring your diskette for PHYSICA E!

Instructions

You may copy a properly formatted sample page containing some basic instructions from the download area of the Conference server.

The Camera-ready version of your manuscript should be identical to the PHYSICA E version in contents (i.e., it should describe the same facts/results). It should be typed (or word processed) on good quality A4- or letter-size paper inside a rectangular area 16.5 cm x 22.9 cm (6.5"x9"); This area should not contain any page numbering, just the text mirror.

Note added after the first 10 papers arrived: 6.5"x9" is identical neither with 6.5"x9.5" nor with 6"x8.5".

The font to be used is your choice but it should not be smaller than 12pt (=1 pica). It is advisable to use a standard font, e.g. Times or Computer Modern. The title should be set in the same type as the main text, boldface, one step bigger in size (e.g. 14pt if the main text is set in 12pt).

The camera-ready version of the manuscript should be single spaced with references numbered consecutively in brackets [1] (parentheses, if brackets are not available). All figures should be sized appropriately such that the entire manuscript including

• title
• authors
• affiliation
• abstract
• text
• equations
• references
• figures
• tables
• figure and table captions

Electronic Submissions

The authors are asked to send the postscript/pdf version of their camera-ready paper as well as the manuscript (or manuscript and figures) in the native format in which it was prepared. In particular, the TeX/LaTeX...etc users are advised to send us also the dvi files and the eps-files of their figures.

What Will Happen with My Submission

To give the technically/typographically inclined authors an idea, how the quality of their printouts may be optimized we briefly describe further procedure

• Electronic submission:
  The procedure is optimized for quality reproduction of text and line drawings. The pages will be reduced to 3/4 of the original scale, i.e., to the rectangular area target size approx 12.3 cm x 17.2 cm (4.875"x6.75") and, where necessary (non-manipulable postscript code...), rasterized electronically for the target resolution of 600dpi b/w (if you wish to create the postscript/pdf/eps/gif... at this target size/resolution by yourself you are welcome; this is particularly true if you want to present some photographs). TeX users: if you use "dvips" to create postscript files, you may reduce the size to 3/4 of the original scale at the correct target resolution by running "dvips -x750 -X600 -Y600 -mode ljfour".
• Hardcopy submission:
  The pages will be scanned black and white ("lineart") at a resolution 450dpi and reduced electronically to 3/4 of the original scale, i.e., to the resulting bitmaps of approx 12.3 cm x 17.2 cm (4.875"x6.75") at 600dpi.
• Common:
  Further, the eps-files/bitmaps (approx. 2925x4050) will be included one per page in a LaTeX document containing the headers, footers, etc. This document will be mirror-inverted electronically, printed on special film on a laser printer and delivered to the printing works.
