All submitted papers will undergo a standard review process and the selection of papers by the program committee will be based on their originality and significance of contribution as well as their presentation. The Proceedings of ASCM'2000 will be published as a volume in the Lecture Notes Series on Computing by World Scientific Publ., Singapore/River Edge, and will be available at the symposium.

Accepted papers should be formatted, for publication in the proceedings, using LaTeX with the Proceedings Style Files (General Trim Size 8.50" x 6.00") available at http://www.wspc.com/. (Follow the link "For Authors". Click on the "Proceedings Style Files" and you will see a list of available style files. Use the one for book size 8.5" by 6".)

You may also get the styles files from this web page. Please read splread.1st to see how to prepare your papers. sprocl.sty is the LaTex style file for ASCM'2000 papers and sprocl.tex is a LaTeX sample file.
