Submitted papers should be written in syntactically correct HTML 4.0 or later. Please download to your system and link your html files to the CUG style sheet <link rel="stylesheet" href="emx_nav_left.css" type="text/css"/>. Browser-specific tags (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer extensions) should not be used.
A word of caution
Many good word processing and page layout programs do a very poor job of converting/exporting to HTML. We have found that HTML exported from Word, FrameMaker, PageMaker, InDesign, or Quark Xpress produces very complicated HTML at best. Much of it does not conform to HTML coding rules and/or makes assumptions about coding that is browser or platform specific. If you do export from these or other programs, please review your HTML source to ensure it conforms to the tagging rules below.
The files you submit for your paper should be in a folder named "YOURNAME" (where "YOURNAME" is your last name) with a home page file named, "index.html".
The first page of the paper should include the title, author information, abstract, and a list of key words. Please include all author names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. The HTML coding for this page should be exactly as follows. Note the use of the "BODY BGCOLOR" tag to specify white as the background color.
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>
<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>Title</H1>

Standard HTML tags should be used for section headings, bullets, and tables. Mathematical formulas and many symbol characters may need to be treated as in-line graphics. Remember, DO NOT use tags not supported by HTML 4.0. In particular, please avoid the use of the <FONT> tag which may not translate correctly across platforms.
<H2>Section Title</H2>
<H3>Subsection Title</H3>
We will not retype equations. Thus, whenever they cannot be created using HTML text, the author must provide them in GIF format. This can be done quite easily by converting graphics files of equations to GIF files. A number of utilities exist for this purpose. You may contact the Proceedings Publisher for assistance.
Equations keyed in LaTeX are acceptable if the author uses latex2html to translate the file. The use of LaTeX derivatives, such as LaTeX2e, is discouraged, since these cannot be handled by the translator, latex2html.
Figures (illustrations) should be included as in-line images. GIF and JPEG (8-bit color only) are acceptable formats. The maximum horizontal size must be no more than 450 pixels. Figures of large size may be linked as external images with a smaller thumbnail version in the text.
Lettering should be large enough to be readily legible when displayed on a screen.
Captions on an image itself have to display in a size and thickness corresponding to <H5> in the HTML document. Captions that are not part of an image should be put in <H5> and appear immediately below the corresponding image. We recommend the latter approach.
For tables, HTML table tags are recommended. Alternatively, use the preformat tags (<PRE> ... </PRE>) for small tables and in-line images for large tables.
We distinguish three types of links
Publication in HTML allows for nontraditional components such as animation or interactive demonstrations to be included. These "active parts" in your paper should be treated as an illustration to the main text and be delivered in a separate file using a local link. Any use of active components that might require special arrangements on the Web server (e.g., a CGI script) must be discussed in advance with the Proceedings Publisher.
When including simple in-line images or multimedia components in your document, be sure that all links are relative/local links and that the components are included with the submitted paper.
Use the HTML standard tags for superscripts (<SUP></SUP>) for footnotes with an internal link to the list of footnotes. The list of footnotes should appear at the end of the paper, but before the reference list. For example:
The first footnote in the text of the paper <A HREF="#f1"><SUP>1</SUP></A>.
The second footnote in the text of the paper<A HREF="#f2"><SUP>2</SUP></A>.
<HR>
<H2>Footnotes</H2>
<P> <A NAME="f1"><SUP>1</SUP></A>Footnote 1 here.</P>
<P> <A NAME="f2"><SUP>2</SUP></A>Footnote 2 here.</P>
References within the paper should include an internal link to the reference list at the end of the paper. For example:
The first reference in the text of the paper <A HREF="#r1">[1]</A>.
The second reference in the text of the paper <A HREF="#r2">[2]</A>.
The definition list construct (<DL><DT><DD></DL>) should be used for the reference list. The title of the reference should be boldface with a space added between the reference number and the author name. For example:
<HR>
<H2>References</H2>
<P>
<DL><DD><A NAME="r1">[1]</A> Author. <b>Title.</b> Source. Date.
<DD><A NAME="r2">[2]</A> Author. <b>Title.</b> Source. Date.</DL>
</P>LaTeX users should use the following format for references in their LaTeX file to ensure consistency with other papers: author's name, (bf) title, publisher/source, date.
Example:
begin{thebibliography}{1}
\bibitem{LaTeX}
Leslie Lamport,
{\bf A Document Preparation System: \LaTeX, User's Guide and Reference Manual}, Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1986.
\end{thebibliography}
A section titled <H2>Author Biography(ies)</H2> may provide a quarter- to half-page biographical sketch for each author. The biographical sketch(es) should be at the end of the paper with an internal link from the author's name, where it is listed at the beginning of the paper. In addition to the usual biographical information, a biographical sketch may include a small picture (an inline GIF or JPEG image), a URL if the author has a home page, and a "MAILTO:" link for the e-mail address.
You may link to a template of a paper that was produced according to our HTML specifications. Please note that the paper offered here is provided with the permission of its authors. We thank them for their generosity.
Authors who use LaTeX for writing scientific papers may use the latex2html converter, but the latex2html output does not conform to our guidelines. Thus, the HTML created by latex2html must be concatenated into a single file and edited so that it conforms with our HTML coding and style specifications. Be sure to remove unnecessary internal links.
If your paper was created in a word processing or page layout program in addition to HTML, then please output your paper to a PDF file in addition to submitting it in HTML. See Desktop publishing guidelines.
