The deadline for the receipt of contributions to the Proceedings of PCaPAC 2012 is Wednesday, 31 October 2012.(Extended up to November 28, 2012) All contributions should be submitted via the JACoW SPMS according to the Paper Submission Instructions. Authors are reminded that, since no contributions are accepted for publication only, any paper accepted for presentation, which is not presented by one of the authors at the conference, will be excluded from the proceedings. Furthermore, the Scientific Programme Committee reserves the right to refuse papers for publication which have not been properly presented in the poster sessions. Manuscripts Authors are advised to use the Templates and in case of difficulties they should consult the JACoW electronic publication help pages. The templates contain styles which, when applied, will automatically ensure correct typesetting and layout. Length of Contributions Papers for both contributed oral and poster presentation can’t be more than 3 pages long. Papers for invited oral may be up to 5 pages long. General Layout See the templates for a typical implementation of the requirements.
The margins should be as follows:
Authors should use only Times or Times New Roman (in roman, bold or italic) and Symbol fonts. All contributions should use 10pt fonts for the normal text. Title The title should use 14pt bold uppercase letters and be centred on the page. The names of the authors and their organisation/affiliation and mailing address should be listed alphabetically in 10pt upper and lower case letters, grouped by affiliation. When there is more than one author, the submitting author's name should be listed first, followed by the other names in alphabetical order. Section Headings Section headings should use 12pt bold uppercase letters and be centred in the column. They should NOT be numbered. Widow and Orphan Control: All headings should appear next to the following text - there should never be a column break between a heading and the following paragraph. Subsection Headings Subsection headings should use 12 pt italic letters, be left aligned and justified in the column. As for section headings, they should NOT be numbered. Paragraph Text Paragraphs should use 10pt font and be justified (touch each side) in the column. The beginning of each paragraph should be indented approximately 3 mm (0.13 in). The last line of a paragraph should not be printed by itself at the beginning of a column nor should the first line of a paragraph be printed by itself at the end of a column. Figures, Tables and Equations Place figures and tables as close to the place of their mention as possible. Lettering in figures and tables should be large enough to reproduce clearly, using only the approved fonts. Use of non-approved fonts in figures often leads to problems when the files are processed and may even cause loss of information. All figures and tables must be given sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and have a caption placed below the figure or above the table being described. A simple way to introduce figures into a Word document is to place them inside a table which has no borders. This can be achieved by doing the following: To insert a full width figure:
If a displayed equation needs a number, place it flush with the right margin of the column. References All bibliographical and web references should be numbered and listed at the end of the paper in a section called References. When referring to a reference in the text, place the corresponding reference number in square brackets. A URL may be included as part of a reference, but its hyperlink should NOT be added.See the templates for a typical example. Acronyms Acronyms should be defined the first time they appear. Page Numbers DO NOT number pages. Page numbers will be added by the Editing Team when they produce the final proceedings. Templates Authors are strongly advised to use the template corresponding to the correct version of WORD and not to transport the document across different platforms e.g. MAC <-> PC or across different versions of WORD on the same platform.
