Contribution Submission
Step 1 of 4: Information on the contribution submission
This abstract submission system allows you to submit a contribution to "XVI International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena". The submission procedure takes four steps. Beside filling the online form you need to upload a two page summary in PDF format (see the additional information below). Your contribution is properly submitted after performing all the steps only. You will get a proper success message online and by email.
The online submission system properly handles numerous special characters. Details are available at the information page on special characters. Optionally you can also create mathematical symbols and formulas via LaTeX. Unfortunately some characters will get a special meaning once LaTeX is activated and the characters need to be replaced by proper code. You may also use a local LaTeX installation for abstract preparation. In case of problems with the online submission system technical support is available at up08@sciconf.org.
Please take care of the following hints:
- Do not use CAPITAL WORDS for example in author names or the title (except for common acronyms). Use standard mixed-case like in "André Wobst".
- Be sure to not exchange the first name and the surname. Otherwise you will be listed by your first name in the author index.
- Prefer to use full first names. Middle initials can be added after the first name. Do not state academic titles.
- The abstract text is limited to 35 words (counted by spaces between the words). Don't misuse the optional LaTeX functionality to create additional inter-word-spaces as this will get a penalty in the abstract grading.
- Do not misuse the LaTeX functionality to alter the font. However it's acceptable to use single italic words or the usual bold notation for volume numbers in citiations. Do not create empty vertical space. Do not use "\\" to create line breaks. Use empty lines to separate paragraphs in your input.
- You need to upload a two page summary in PDF format. This extended version of the abstract will be included at a conference CD. See the example for details regarding the format.
Alternative 1: Restore an already filled form
It is possible to fill out a contribution form and to create a format test but instead of submitting the contribution right away you can download your data in form of a LaTeX file. Using this file you can then later on restore the filled form.
Alternative 2: Modify an already submitted abstract
In the exceptional case an already submitted contribution needs to be modified, please fill in the key for modification you received during the contribution submission. The deadline for submission of the papers is Monday, May 26, 2008, 6 p.m. (GMT+1, local time on site).
