Instructions for Authors
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to
any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or
workshop that has proceedings.
Submission Format: The submission must be anonymous, with no author
names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. It should
begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The
length of the submission should be at most 12 pages excluding
bibliography and appendices. It should use at least 11-point fonts and
have reasonable sized margins. The introduction should summarize the
contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist
reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the
paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting
these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Electronic Submission: Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. A
detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will
appear by January 20, 2001 at
http://www.iacr.org/conferences/c2001/electronic.html. Electronic
submissions must conform to this procedure and be received by February
12, 2001, 17:00 EST in order to be considered.
Hardcopy Submission: Authors unable to submit electronically may, as a
strongly discouraged last resort, send a cover letter and 21
double-sided hardcopies of their submission to the program chair at
the postal address below. Authors intending to submit via hardcopy
should contact the program chair on or before February 5,
2001. Submissions must be received by the program chair on or before
February 12, 2001, 17:00 EST. Late submissions, regardless of
postmark, and submissions by fax will not be considered. Hardcopy
submission must include a cover letter containing the paper's title
and the names and affiliations of the authors, and should identify the
contact author including e-mail and postal addresses.
Decisions and Presentation: Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be sent to authors by April 25, 2001. Authors of accepted papers
must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
Conference Proceedings: Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be
available at the conference. Clear instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of
accepted papers. The final copies of the accepted papers will be due on May 29, 2001.
