Article Submission

Articles should be written and hence submitted following the general instructions detailed here. The paper should be sent to icefa2007@univ-bpclermont.fr for Submission, and the file should be renamed as icefa2007_Name.doc, where Name is the name of the corresponding Author.

We remember that Articles should describe original work which should clearly indicate the new and significant advances and their importance. Once received Articles will be sent to the Scientific Committee. The respect of the redaction guidelines and the accordance with the topics concerned with the Conference will be examined. The revised Article will be sent back within a fortnight after the Referees advices.

Guidelines for Oral Contributions

The details of the Sessions can be found in the Final Program and Book of Abstracts. The duration of the oral contribution is fixed to 25 minutes of which 15 minutes dedicated to discussion. The numeric support should be compatible with Power Point for Windows Xp and Windows Vista. During the Conference it will be asked the files of the contributors so as to display the whole of the presentations on the web site after the Conference.
