Submission Process

The submission process to FIST 2011 differs from the submission process to its hosting event ICNP in several important points. Authors need to comply with these guidelines:

1. -Paper submission will not be blind. The submissions need to indicate the names and affiliations of the authors in the paper.
   

2. -Do not submit abbreviated versions of journal or conference papers. In particular, submissions to FIST 2011 must not be concurrent with a substantially similar submission to a conference or workshop, including condensed versions of work that has been submitted and is currently under review.
   

3. -We do encourage submissions of work-in-progress based on novel and interesting ideas.
   

Paper Format and Length

Submitted papers must be no longer than six (6) pages in double-column format with standard margins (i.e., at least one inch all around) and at least a 10 point font. This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. Papers should include a title; full list of authors, with their organizations and email addresses; and an abstract of fewer than 200 words. Please visit the ICNP 2011 website and select "Paper Submission" to find format templates for manuscript preparation.

Electronic Submission

Authors are to submit PDF versions of their manuscripts compliant to the instructions above. The electronic submission for the workshop will use the EasyChair system.
