Below are the instructions for this year’s Proceedings:

1. Papers chosen for oral presentation may be up to FIVE (5) pages long, total. This includes images and references. In fairness to all authors, any paper that is longer will be refused.

2. You must adhere to the document format requirements of IOS Press. Please download the instructions here. Note the templates offered for your use. The instructions also serve as an example of a correctly formatted document (with the exception of page headers).

3. You should submit your paper in two formats: an MS Word document and an identical high-resolution PDF file with all fonts embedded. Submissions can be sent to Conference Coordinator Mr. James Cullen at jcullen@vrphobia.com.

4. Files should be labeled with first author’s surname and first initial. If two papers have the same first author, then use an additional suffix of “_1” and “_2”. Consider these examples:
   
   WIEDERHOLD_B.doc
   (Brenda Wiederhold’s single paper, Word version)
   
   WIEDERHOLD_B.pdf.
   (Brenda Wiederhold’s single paper, PDF version)
   
   WIEDERHOLD_B_2.doc
   (Brenda Wiederhold’s second paper of two, Word version)
   
   WIEDERHOLD_B_1_Fig3.tif”
   (Figure 1 in Brenda Wiederhold first paper of two, third figure in TIF)

After reading the IOS Press Instructions, please note these answers to the FAQ.

1. (Important!) Your paper settings in MS Word AND in your PDF conversion software must be for A4 paper, not US Letter Size. If you normally use Letter Size, please be sure your final documents are correct. Paper size affects pagination and, in many cases, compliance with the maximum page limit.
2. Use single-column format only. Justify left and right margins for a neat appearance. Carefully note the publisher’s required margins.
3. Papers should include a brief abstract and keywords. (This abstract is not the same one- or two- page PDF “Abstract” submitted during the Call for Papers).
4. Use high-resolution versions of images, following the publisher’s explanation.
5. The Proceedings will be printed in black & white. Be sure to test your images for clarity if you provide them in color. In your descriptions, do not refer to colors in illustrations.
6. Do not paginate your paper or include any other header or footer info. IOS Press will assign this information.
7. If English is not your native language, please have your paper proofread by a native speaker, preferably one who is familiar with the described technology.

The March 15 deadline is not flexible. IOS Press has a very strict production schedule: time must be allowed for editing, production, and shipment to the conference.
