Accepted extended abstracts will be published in a proceedings volume of Séminaire Lotharingien Combinatoire. Authors will retain the right to publish a full version of their work in another journal, provided that the conference contribution is indicated as an extended abstract of the full version.
For each submission, you must indicate which author will present the work. A change of presenter will only be possible after advance consultation with the program committee. Each person may be the presenter (i.e., correspondent author) for at most one submission.
Authors should indicate any potential conflict of interest that may exist with program committee members in the submission form.
You have a conflict of interest if a program committee member:
As is tradition, there will be a prize for the best student paper. In order to qualify for this prize, all authors on the qualifying submission must be students at the time of submission. You will be asked on the submissions website if your submission qualifies, so please remember to indicate this if it does.
As for the scientific content of the work, the originality of the results and the clarity of exposition will be the primary criteria used to determine which submissions will be accepted.
In order to prepare your submission, please take the following steps to format your document according to these specifications. Please prepare your document using standard LaTeX. If you have any user macros, you must include them in your submission.
\documentclass[submission]{FPSAC2018}

\author[optional shorter names]{longer names};
\thanks{…}

etc. to include the institution(s) of the author(s), and then use \address{\addressmark{1}…}
to match author to institution;\received{date}

to include your English language abstract. Please do not include any citations in your abstract with \cite{…}
. If you need to cite something in your abstract then write it out, as (author year). Also, do not include any custom commands in your abstract;\resume{…}

commands. Wherever possible, please use .pdf versions of your figures.
\includepackage{…}
command in the preamble.\bibitem{…}
commands at the end of the document. This will make life much easier for the editor, as it simplifies the process of making bibliographies consistent. The sample.tex file uses the biblatex package, where the commands%preamble code
\usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{sample.bib}
are included in the preamble, and then \printbibliography
is used at the end of the document. (This may require installation of the biber package or the texlive-bibtex-extra package (Ubuntu) if you don’t already have it. See below if you are having compile problems). Alternatively, if you wish you can remove these commands and use something like
%bibliography code
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{sample}
at the end of the document. Please use numerical citations in the text, ie. [xx, yy].
tlmgr update --all
” in the Terminal, or use the TeX Live Utility app in/Applications/TeX.tlmgr update --all
” command. To use biblatex you may need to install the separate texlive-bibtex-extra package (on Ubuntu. Your system package may be different).Please follow the link to the SoftConf website to make your submission. You will need to indicate the presenter name and also if the paper qualifies for consideration for the "best student paper" prize.
