A submission should start with the title of the paper, the author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results. This should be followed by a scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques,
and a full description of the results achieved.  A clear indication of the motivation and comparison with prior or related work should be presented. The paper should not exceed 10 pages on letter-size paper using 11 point or larger font.

Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines and electronic submissions that are unprintable risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available for distribution at the conference.  A subset of selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of Algorithmica and Journal of Combinatorial Optimization.
