Instructions for paper submission
As usual, DCIS will accept regular submissions and shorter industrial communications. English is the official language of the Conference. Papers must be prepared using the A4 paper format and should not exceed 6 pages for regular papers or 4 pages for papers from industry, including the title page, all illustrations and references. Electronic submission is encouraged and should be in PDF or Postscript format. If it is impossible for you to submit your paper electronically, you can prepare it according to the instructions below and send it via regular mail to the DCIS2001 secretariat (see address below). Note that in case of acceptance of your paper, you must be aware that only the electronic format will be accepted for the final version. To ensure a blind review process, each paper submited must not include any reference to the authors or their affiliation. The identification of each paper is done with a submission ID that is assigned automatically when you submit your summary via the web page, or with a separate cover sheet if you send your contribution by regular mail.


Guidelines for formatting your paper
The guidelines for formatting papers can be downloaded from the links below:

MS Word (54KB)     RTF (134KB)     PDF (93KB)     PS (80KB)



Electronic submission
Electronic submission to DCIS'2001 is done in three steps: 
    1 - Summary submission 
    2 - Submission notification 
    3 - Paper submission 
1 - Summary submission
You must submit a summary of your paper including title, author information, contact person and abstract. To submit your summary please follow the link SUMMARY SUBMISSION

2 - Submission notification
Following the summary submission, you will then be assigned a paper ID that will be sent to you by email. This submission ID will be needed for submitting your paper.

3 - Paper submission
After you have obtained your submission ID, you must send the electronic version of your paper (PDF or PS format) to the DCIS2001 secretariat. You can send the file by email or anonymous ftp. In both cases, the file name should be #####.ps or #####.pdf, where ##### is the the paper ID that was assigned to your submission. Note that the submission should only include the paper itself, with no indication of the author names and affiliation to guarantee the blind review process.

3.1 - Submission by ftp
  • If your browser supports ftp, open ftp://ftp.fe.up.pt/dcis2001 and drop your file. Don't forget to change before the file name as explained above. 
  • If you use any other ftp program, open an anonymous ftp session to the address ftp.fe.up.pt, go to the directory /dcis2001 and transfer your file. Don't forget to set the transfer mode to ASCII for PS files and binary for PDF files. Note that you will not see any file in this directory and you will not be able to change the file name after upload.
  • Send an email to DCIS2001@fe.up.pt to notify you have uploaded the file.
  • If you need to resend an updated version of your paper, repeat the same procedure described above, but append a capital letter to the file name, starting from A. For example, if 345001 was the file name of the first version, use 345001A for the second version, 345001B for the third one, and so on. Don't forget to notify DCIS2001@fe.up.pt whenever you upload newer versions of your paper.
3.2 - Submission by email
Send an email to the address DCIS2001@fe.up.pt,with your PDF or PS file attached, and include in the subject field the text DCIS2001 PAPER ID #####, where ##### is the paper ID that was assigned to your submission. 



Submissions by regular mail
(ONLY if you cannot submit your summary electronically via the web page)
Each submission should include one cover page and 6 stapled copies of the complete manuscript, and must be sent to the DCIS2001 secretariat (see address at bottom of this page).
