Working Language
The working language of the conference is English, which will be used for all printed material, presentations and discussions.
Writing a Paper
Papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings from the author-supplied 'camera-ready' copy. Please do not page number your file. Original material must be provided in all cases and the paper must be in the form of a two (2) page .pdf document.
It is essential that authors make sure all fonts are embedded and .pdf files are submitted unlocked. If files are submitted in ‘Read Only’ format or with security we may be unable to publish your paper. If fonts are not embedded in the .pdf the file may not print correctly and again may have to be omitted from the proceedings.
Use of the full paper template is required and only full papers following the instructions provided will be considered.
Each paper must have at least one author registered by Monday, 21 February 2011, to avoid the paper being withdrawn from the conference proceedings. You are reminded that the organisers or other associated societies cannot meet any travelling or subsistence expenses for authors, either prior to or during the conference.
Authors will be informed as to the status of their submission on Monday, 13 December 2010. Should your paper be accepted you may be notified of a requirement for corrections and or amendments before your paper can be included. If this is the case we will provide re-submission details at the time of notification.
All successful authors are expected to present their papers at the conference. All presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings, provided that a paid registration has been received from the author(s). There will be no parallel sessions, and all contributions will be presented as interactive poster sessions.

Poster / Interactive Display
You should clearly display the following information on your poster board:
- The title of your paper
- The authors’ names and their affiliations
- Your usual contact details (e.g. an Email address) to allow delegates to follow up discussion.
In addition to your written two page paper included in the Conference publication, the poster session is your opportunity to present your work directly to other registrants and to discuss it with them. It is a particularly useful format for small group discussion and debates.
Try to attract the registrants to your poster. Unless they come to it, you cannot expect to have a discussion with them. The display should therefore be visually appealing and should contain the essence of your paper in a form that is easy to understand.
Your display should consist chiefly of keywords, diagrams, photographs, etc. Colour photographs are particularly attractive in a poster display. Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read. Handwritten text or diagrams are not recommended. All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use colour to emphasise important features.
The poster display is important. You are recommended to take as much care with it as you did in preparing your written paper.
Display Board
A display board approximately 2 metres high and 1 metres wide will be provided for your poster display. If you are pre-preparing your poster as one large sheet, please ensure that it is in Portrait format and we recommend size A0.
Overview of Topic Area
Some authors will be invited by the Conference Committee to prepare, in addition to their poster presentation, an overview of the topic area of their paper to be presented in an oral session preceding the interactive poster session. These authors will be notified in early January 2011.
