General Hints
It is very important that you pay close attention to the format. Especially, do not produce text, formulas or figures outside of the main text area. This will render the paper unacceptable and therefore cannot be printed. (and you really do not want that to happen). Please remember that the length of your paper is limited to 14 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers. Figures should be in black and white, limited use of grey-scale. If figures are in color avoid yellow, light blue & green. These will not reproduce in black and white.
