Guideline for Submitting the Final Version

The program committee members have put in a significant effort in order to provide useful feedback to the authors, it may not always be available. Please find the comments on your paper at your user account at the conference site. When preparing the final paper, please take into account the referees' comments.

The proceedings of WINE 2005 will be published in the Springer's LNCS, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, series and be available at the conference. Read carefully Springer's instructions on preparing the manuscript before you submit the final version. See
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Latex/Tex Files:
It is required that you use the llncs.cls style file, which you can download from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Make sure that you follow LNCS template.

WORD/rtf Files: You should also use LNCS templates

Do not squashed your paper by removing vertical spaces or changing font sizes, etc., then the paper will be reformatted and the final pdf will cover more pages than the original. You would risk your paper be truncated  improperly ended.

Three other very important points are: firstly, please make sure that there is only one set of source files and pdf files per paper. Any older versions of papers should on no account be sent on to us. Secondly, please make sure that, if an author has several papers in one volume, he or she writes his name consistently. This is not only important for the Author Index of the volume, but also for the author himself / herself. Thirdly, please make sure that it is clear which of the authors' names are first names and which are surnames. This is particularly important for Chinese or Spanish names. The names appear as initial(s) plus surname(s) in the running heads and surname(s), first name(s) in the author index.

COPYRIGHT form:
It is required that you use the llncs.cls style file, which you can download from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
At least one author of each accepted paper must sign the copyright form (download here), which is
also located at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/copyright.html.
Your signed copyright form must be sent to us, either by Fax or mail, on or before September 15, 2005. September 15, 2005 is also the deadline for us to receive
the final electronic files. (NOTE: Volume Editors: Xiaotie Deng and Yin-yu Ye)

The final submission of your paper (maximum length 10 pages, HK$400 for each extra page) comprises of three components:

    1. a completed and signed copyright form,
    2. electronic files of your paper::
            -text files (latex, tex or word files) and .eps files for the figures,
           - the final DVI file (for papers prepared using LaTeX or TeX),
           - the final PostScript file (not in reverse page order),
           - if possible, the pdf file of the final version of your paper.

    3. registration form  for at least one author per paper.

Please send your copyright form in hard copy to:

phone: (852) 2788 8632

The copyright form can also be sent by fax at (852) 2788 8614. Please clearly write "Attention: Xiaotie Deng" on the form since it is a shared fax machine.

Alternatively, you can scan in your copyright form in a pdf file and zipped in your electronic files to upload into the submission system.

Note: We must receive the copyright form by September 15, 2005 at the latest.
Please mind the mailing delays (Hong Kong is far away from North America and Europe) and post your copyright form rightaway.

Upload your electronic files to the conference submission system.

To avoid confusion, name all files in the following fashion: Use
always 10 characters plus an extension (wineNNNC.XXX). wine is a
fixed string. NNN is the paper id number assigned to you.
To distinguish several files of the same type (e.g., EPS
files) use characters a, b, c,... in the field C.
XXX identifies the file type (tex, ps, etc.). For example, the files in a
final submission could be named wine009a.tex, wine009a.dvi, wine009a.ps,
wine009a.eps, wine009b.eps, and wine009c.eps.

It is required that you compress the files with zip format.. Use wineNNN as the base name for the
compressed file (e.g., wine009.zip).
