15 June 2006
(International submission of abstract will be accepted for consideration of presentation at the conference. These submissions when accepted, no full paper will be accepted for reviewed unless the full paper is submitted before July 15).

   Once your abstract is accepted by the IPC, you have the option to submit a full paper for that abstract. The full paper will be BLIND reviewed by peers and IPC. Their recommendations will be further reviewed by the editorial board for consideration to appear in the Proceedings of the conference. Submission of a full paper for REVIEW should only be in PDF and also must be submitted via the Web (If you need help in converting a Microsoft Word document to PDF, please email to either IPC co-chair). You will find the full paper submission link once log on to the ATCM conference submission site (as you did when you submitted your abstract).

Here are some important notes when submitting full papers for reviewto ATCM 2006

1. Each full paper must have, in addition to the paper content, an abstract, and no author information (just a title). It must be submitted online via the Web no later than July 15, 2006.
2. Each full paper will be reviewed and recommendation will be sent to the author(s) before or no later than September 15, 2006
3. Each full paper must not be longer than 10 single-spaced pages of A4 size, inclusive of figures, tables, and references.

  For accepted full papers (that have not been published elsewhere, or available in a website), publication in the Proceedings will follow if and only if the paper is presented at the conference, and the following guidelines must be followed. Manuscripts that fail to adhere to the following format will not be published.

• Two camera-ready copies of the manuscript must be submitted on A4 white paper. The manuscript must be printed with a laser printer of resolution at least at 1200 DPI. Do not staple. Do not fold. Only on-time receipt of this hardcopy manuscript has guarantee of its appearance in the Proceedings. The hardcopies must be postmarked by the date specified if the acceptance email along with the postal address to which the full papers are to be sent.
• A softcopy of the same manuscript in PDF must be sent, with the same deadline as the hardcopy, to BOTH email accounts in your notification email (e.g., atcminc@yahoo.com); on-time receipt of this softcopy manuscript, signed copyright statement (paper copyright | abstract copyright) and paid registration will ensure the inclusion of the manuscript in the electronic Proceedings, provided all the other formatting guidelines are met.

A sample paper in Microsoft Word is provided; it can be used as a template. Here are some points to note when preparing your full paper for publication:

• No page number should be printed. Default font used must be Times New Roman. Instead, page numbers must be written using a soft lead pencil on the back of each page (on both hard copies submitted) along with your paper reference number (e.g., 2006P100).
• Paper title: 20 pt Times New Roman, bold, centered
• Author's name: 14 pt Times New Roman Italics, centered
• Author's affiliations: in 12 pt Times New Roman, centered
• Author’s email address, in 12 pt Times New Roman, centered, must be included right below the author's name.
• Abstract: each manuscript must have an abstract, in 10 pt Times New Roman, justified single-line spacing
• Section headings: 14 pt Times New Roman Bold, left-justified
• Subsection headings: 12 pt Times New Roman Bold, left-justified
• Body text: 12 pt Times Roman, justified single-line spacing
• Margins must be set based on A4 paper size (210 x 297 mm or 8.27" x 11.69").
• Left and right margins must be set at 2 cm or 0.8";
• Top and bottom margins must be set at 3.2 cm or 1.26";
• Any text or figure that appears outside of this margin is not printable, thus the manuscript cannot be included for printing.
• Tables and Figures must be properly captioned and numbered. These should be placed as close as practicable to the first reference in the text. About 10mm should be left clear above and below each figure and table. For Figures, the caption should appear at the foot of the figure. For Tables, the caption should appear immediately above the table. Place all the figures and tables in the center of the page.
• References must be cited properly in the text of the article (it is very unlikely that an accepted full paper that has no references)
• Acknowledgements, if any, should be added just before the references.
• Paper length is limited to a maximum of 10 pages. A fee will be charged for any paper that exceeds the paper length limit.
• Keywords are not needed.
