References

A list of references should appear at the end of the paper. Number all references consecutively with Arabic numerals in square brackets. When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference number in square brackets as [1].

L^ATEXStyle File

For the convenience of L^ATEXusers, we provide a L^ATEXstyle file iwvcc08.sty which automatically formats the manuscript in accordance with the workshop requirements. A L^ATEXsample file iwvcc08.tex will show you how to use the style file, and a sample PDF iwvcc08.pdf. Since we do not provide a Microsoft Word template, please follow information described above.

Creating PDF files

Software

As mentioned above, only electronic submission of papers in PDF format is accepted. There are several methods for creating PDF files: Adobe Distiller, PDFWriter, ps2pdf, dvipdfm, pdflatex, and so on. Generally Adobe Distiller provides higher quality output than others, and is therefore preferred.

that come with Acrobat Reader, so that the file can be viewed correctly on any computer. The method of embedding fonts is different on various systems and PDF creation mechanisms; for example, in Adobe Disitller, choose Job Options and check Embed All Fonts. For authors using other software, please refer to your own help sources.

Before submission, please make sure that all fonts are embedded into the PDF file you have created. To view the font information for a PDF, open the file in an Adobe Reader, go to the File menu, select Document Info, and then Fonts. The Font Info dialog box displays font information.
