Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XV

Abstract:

All the information concerning the procedures for creation of a paper suitable for submission to the ADASS conference proceedings are contained in the files available in the manuscripts instructions download directory.

1) Introduction

In order to ensure that papers received for publication from different authors are consistent in format, style, and quality, authors are required to type their manuscripts in LATEX format exactly according to the instructions given in the manuscript instructions directory. The editors will modify the electronic manuscripts as necessary to insure that they conform to these standards.

Papers by invited speakers are allotted a maximum of ten (10) pages in the Proceedings. Regular oral presentations, posters, and demos are limited a maximum of four (4) pages each; BoF summaries are limited to one (1) page. Presenters of multiple papers will be permitted to submit a manuscript for each for inclusion in the Proceedings, although it is necessary that we receive a completed Publication Agreement and Copyright Assignment form for each submission. Because of the extremely high cost, color illustrations will not be published in the paper version of the proceedings, but may be included in the electronic version of the proceedings. All authors should send black-and-white figures, plus the color versions of their figures if they wish to. Any figure sent in color version only will be reproduced in black and white in the Proceedings book.

Authors must submit their manuscripts and associated figures electronically by October 31, 2005. See §2 for details on using anonymous FTP to submit your files.

2) Submission of Manuscripts

Completed manuscripts should submitted via anonymous FTP using the following procedure:

  1. Change into the pub/adassxv directory:
    cd pub/adassxv

  2. Create a subdirectory whose name is the paper identification code. Use upper case for letters. Change directory to this new directory. For example:
    mkdir O4.1
    cd O4.1

  3. Upload your files using the put command. Identify the LATEX manuscript giving it a name using the paper identification code (e.g., ``O4.1.tex''). Any EPS files should be identified in a similar way (e.g., ``O4.1_1.eps'', ``O4.1_2.eps''; see also §2.11 ). Note that you will be able to see a listing of the files you upload using ls; however, you will not be able download, delete, or overwrite them after the upload. If you wish to upload any other files please name them using the same convention, i.e., starting with your paper identifier (e.g., O4.1.junk).

  4. Disconnect by typing bye.

Here is how a sample session might look:


     % ftp xmm.vilspa.esa.es
     Name (xmm.vilspa.esa.es:xxx): anonymous
     Password: [your e-mail]

     ftp> cd pub/adassxv
     ftp> mkdir O4.1
     ftp> cd O4.1
     ftp> put O4.1.tex           
     ftp> put O4.1_1.eps	      
     ftp> put O4.1_2.eps	      
     ftp> bye

If you have figures that cannot be sent in PostScript form, you can mail them to the address given in section 3.

Manuscripts must be received no later than October 31, 2005, in order to be assured publication in the Proceedings.


3) Copyright Agreement

All authors should have returned a completed form of the Copyright Assignment form, file during the conference. If you did not return the signed form to us at the conference, you must download the Copyright Assignment form, and send the completed form to the ADASS XV editors at:
