Authors are asked to revise their submissions keeping in mind the formatting requirements.
Submission of final versions of accepted abstracts
The opportunity to submit extended abstracts for FPSAC 2016 is
closed. This page is intended for those whose submitted extended
abstracts have been accepted as talks or posters.
Before submitting a new version of your accepted extended abstract,
please follow the guidelines given below. There are requirements for
your final submission that are in addition to the requirements for your
original submission (see below). Papers not complying with these
requirements (in particular the 12 pages limit) cannot be published.
When your revised version is ready, please submit it through the START Conference Manager
(the possibility of uploading your submission may not be available yet
on the server. If this is the case, please wait for a few days). Your
new submission should consist of:
- Your LaTeX file
- All files required to compile the file (pictures, bibtex, dmtcs class file);
- A PDF file of your submission compiled from these;
- The copyright form filled in and signed.
Missing files cause delays. In particular, we cannot publish your paper if the copyright form is missing.
The deadline for revised submissions is April 1, 2016 at 23:59 (PST).
The accepted extended abstracts will be published in a proceedings volume of DMTCS (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science). The authors will retain the right to publish a full version of their work in another journal. Authors
who do intend to publish a full version elsewhere should, however, make
sure that their conference contribution is clearly an extended abstract
of this full version.
Instructions for authors specific to final version
- Since the proceedings are being published in DMTCS, you must continue to use the dmtcs.cls class file.
- Please take special care with the `author', `title', `keywords' commands and the `abstract' environment. None
of them should include unbreakable spaces (`\ ' or `~'), non-ascii
characters, `\cite' or `\ref' commands, or any user-defined commands. Write out any citations, rather than referencing the bibliography.
- While you were strongly encouraged to include a summary in French in your original version, you are required
to do so in your final version. If you are not a French speaker then,
as a first option, ask a French speaking colleague to provide an
abstract. If you cannot find anyone to help, please contact vincent.pilaud[at sign]lix.polytechnique.fr before March 1, and we will provide a translation.
- The final proceedings will be in PDF format. So, please send
your figures in pdf formats. The (standard) package graphicx is used by
dmtcs.cls to include graphical data; please do not use epsf or
similar. Use the includegraphics command to incorporate figures into
your extended abstract. Your use of the command can be as simple as
\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure_filename}
Note that the file name is given without an extension (pdf or
eps). Don't include the extension of the graphic file in the command!
Please leave the choice of the desired format to the graphicx
package. A typical inclusion of a figure as part of a LaTeX
figure environment would look something like:
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
%% Don't use epsfile!
\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure_filename}
\caption{Your caption here}
\label{fig:figure_label}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
- Extended abstracts, when compiled using the dmtcs.cls class file, must not exceed 12 pages, even after addressing the
referees' suggestions.
Submissions are now closed. Thank you to all authors that have submitted!

Guidelines for initial submissions
Accepted extended abstracts will be published in a proceedings volume of DMTCS (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science). 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. Program committee members cannot be the presenter.
Formatting requirements and submission procedures
In order to prepare your submission, please take the following steps to format your document according to the specifications of DMTCS. Please prepare your document using standard LaTeX. If you have any user macros, please include them in your submission. We thank you very much for your cooperation.
- Please download and unpack the file Sample.zip or, if you prefer, download the files it contains individually and place them all in one folder:
- the LaTex class file dmtcs.cls;
- the main LaTeX file sample.tex;
- the graphics files dmtcs.pdf and dmtcs.eps.
- If you wish to use BibTeX, you may also want the sample.bib file. Please LaTeX the sample.tex file and make sure that your output matches this sample.pdf file. Then use the sample.tex file as your template. Your submission should be in pdf format.
- Please follow the directions given in sample.pdf. When the instructions in sample.pdf are in conflict with the FPSAC-specific instructions given on this page, please follow the instructions on this page.
- Fill in your author and institution information.
- If your title is rather long, please give a short title substitution for the inside headers, e.g. \title[short title]{Long, wordy title}. The same goes for your name, if you have a preferred short form.
- You must provide 3 to 6 keywords in the form \keywords{keyword1, keyword2, keyword3} that describe the topic of your paper.
- Include a summary with citations written out rather than referencing the bibliography. FPSAC/SFCA has a tradition of encouraging bilingualism, and thus you are strongly encouraged to include a summary in French. There are people available to help with this, if help is required. Please format your summary as follows (note the nested structure):
\begin{abstract}
\paragraph{Abstract.}
text in english
\paragraph{R\'esum\'e.}
texte en français
\end{abstract}
- Extended abstracts, when compiled using the dmtcs.cls class file, must not exceed 12 pages.
Submit through softconf
Please follow the following link to make your submission. You will need to indicate the presenter name, and also if the paper qualifies for consideration for "best student paper".
