Information for authors and presenters is given below.

Formatting Instructions

The workshop proceedings will be published by the University of Salford and will subsequently be distributed by ai-cbr. The workshop proceedings will be prepared from camera-ready copy supplied by the authors of accepted papers. A formatting specification for the proceedings is provided below (these are the same as Springer's LNAI guidelines)

For those who do not wish to use a Latex style file the instructions are available as a Microsoft Word  document here, together with a specimen page grid.

Instructions for users of Latex Style Files

The necessary files are held on the CTAN archive at Aston University (UK).

The files can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk where the files:

• wicread.me
• wicsadv.org
• wicsadv.tex
• wicsbook.org
• wicsbook.sty

are held in the directory \pub\archive\macros\latex209\contrib\springer\wics

Correctly formatted papers should be submitted by email to ukcbr4@ai-cbr.org as Word doc files, compressed postscript files or Adobe pdf files no later than 1st September 1999.

Presentation Facilities

The workshop room is equipped with a computer projector and a PC will be available on the day. The PC runs W95 and Microsoft PowerPoint. It is preferred that you use the PC provided so bring your PowerPoint presentations on floppy disk (remember to check the "Embed True Type Fonts" option when you save your PowerPoint file as this ensures any special fonts you use are included in the presentation).

If you intend to give a live software demonstration you may bring your own computer. Please contact ukcbr4@ai-cbr.org if this is not a PC to ensure computability with the projection equipment.

A conventional OHP will be available.

A video player is available on request from ukcbr4@ai-cbr.org

It will not be possible to gain entry to the workshop room before 9.00 am on the morning of the 15th September, so if you require any special facilities please contact ukcbr4@ai-cbr.org.

Timing

You will be given 25 minutes to present and you should plan to talk for 20 minutes leaving 5 minutes for questions. As a guide you should not have more that 20 slides in your presentation (i.e., plan for one slide per minute). If you have more than 20 slides it is probable you are trying to cover too much and will run out of time.
