INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT

Because of the proliferation of laser printers, SCS feels it is now
possible to achieve high-quality, camera-ready copy on standard A4
(Authors outside the Europe may use standard 8 1/2" 11" sheets).

The Proceedings will be printed directly from the manuscripts submitted
by authors.
It is important to note that the appearance of your paper in the
Proceedings will depend largely upon the care you take in preparing
the original manuscript and graphic material.  The organization is
not responsible for replacing or correcting papers or pages.
Please be sure your camera-ready paper is free of typographical errors
and omissions before sending it to the HMS Secretariat.

TYPING AND LAYOUT SHEETS

PLEASE FOLLOW THE SAMPLE PRINTOUT FOR GUIDELINES ON MARGINS, LAYOUT
STYLE, ETC.

1. Manuscripts must be typed two columns to a page. Use one side of
sheet only.

2. For 100% size: Your text should be no smaller than 8 point type,
and no larger than 10 point. Choose a standard font.

It is acceptable to use a printer that produces typewriter-quality
print-out. Use any good quality bond paper. Printout from many dot
matrix printers does not reproduce well and is therefore generally
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Please do not use a dot matrix printer unless it provides good, clear,
dark print. Again, use a new ribbon.

3. The text need to be justified (squared on the right and also on the left).

4. Text should be single-spaced, with double spacing between
paragraphs, and with a 5-space paragraph indentation.

5. Manuscript pages must be kept clean. Bad erasure marks, strikeovers
(even with correction paper), or smudges will show up in the printed
volume. In the case of an error, new lines or paragraphs may be pasted
over old areas, if the length is the same. Correction paint may also be
used if applied carefully and completely.

6. The title and author information should be centered.
 
 

HEADINGS
TITLE OF PAPER
Type the title in capital letters, centered on the page horizontally,
1" from the top edge of the first page. Space down three lines, then
type the name of the author (first name first), author business or
school affiliation, complete address, and e-mail using upper and lower
case letters. Make it a complete mailing address, for example,
PLEASE include your AFFILIATION and EMAIL in the paper.

FOOTNOTES
Use footnotes sparingly. Begin two line spaces from previous text by
typing a short horizontal line, using the underscore key 13 times. Skip
1/2 or one line space, type footnote symbol, then type footnote.*

REFERENCES
In text, references should be cited by the last name of the author and
the year of publication, all in parentheses. The Reference List should
be organized alphabetically by the name of the author, followed by the
author's initials, year of publication, and other complete information
about the published work. It should not be numbered. Only references
that may be readily obtained should be cited in the list. Others may be
referred to as "personal communication" in the text. In the reference
list, multiple entries with the same author are arranged
chronologically. Italicize the name of the publication in which the
article is found, or the title itself if a separate publication
(underline if italicizing is not possible). For laboratory, company, or
government reports, all information on how to obtain the report should
be included. For Ph.D. and M.S. theses, the institutions granting the
degree should be given. References to proceedings should include the
full name of the proceedings, how to obtain it, year of publication,
and page numbers of article cited. A reference to part of a book should
include the range of pages in which the material is cited. Names of
periodicals should be written out in full, and the range of pages
cited.
For style and consistency, The Chicago Manual of Style will govern.

PAGE NUMBERING AND PAPER IDENTIFICATION
DO NOT TYPE PAGE NUMBERS. Simply write the sequential numbers and total
number of pages to your paper on the back of each page (e.g., 1 of 6, 2
of 6, etc.). Final page numbers will be inserted by the publisher.

Print your paper code (assigned by HMS Secretariat) on the back of each
page of the original manuscript and on the first page of all copies,
in pencil only.
Write the first author last name on the back page just above the page
numbering. This is for handling and identification purposes only and
will not be reproduced.

TABLES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
All artwork, figures, captions, graphs, and tables will be reproduced
exactly as you submit them; however, if you have requested the larger
mats, please remember that all such items will be reduced 70% when they
are printed.

In the interest of clarity and uniformity, graphs and tables should be
kept within a single column, if possible. If not, extension across two
columns is permissible. If pasting on a table or graph, tape is
permissible. Also, any type of paper glue is permissible.

If you include photographs, convert them into Velox prints or halftones
(screened reproductions) and paste or tape them into place. An 85-line
screen is recommended.

BIOGRAPHY
If space permits, it is worthwhile to include a brief biography (no
more than 300 words) of the author(s) at the end of the manuscript.
This allows the viewing and reading audience to become familiar
with the background of the author, thus giving the paper greater
impact and validity.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS, IT
IS BEST TO HAVE THEM ANSWERED NOW CONTACT THE HMS SECRETARIAT FOR ANY
CLARIFICATION.

INTRODUCTION
Good visual aids can greatly enhance the effect your presentation has
on the audience. Experience at past conferences has shown that many
of the oral presentations have not been adequately prepared.
Often an attempt was made to present too much material and too
much detail. Visual aids, the primary means to hold the attention of
the audience, were often poorly conceived and inadequately prepared.
It is our hope that these guidelines will help you prepare a better
visual presentation.

HMS 2000 plans call for the nominal session to run 105 minutes without a
break and to include 4/5 papers. This allows 3/5 minutes for
introductions and then 20/25 minutes per paper, of which 5 minutes should
be reserved for audience questions and comments.

REMEMBER, your entire paper is published in the Proceedings. Your
objective in the oral presentation should be to describe the highlights
of your paper, progress since the paper was written, and future plans.
Do NOT try to present the paper in its entirety, or to read it!
 

PREPARATION OF PRESENTATION

BASIC ORGANIZATION
The most significant constraint facing the speaker is the time limit
for presentation. As described above, presentations are nominally
allotted 20 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for questions and
discussion. This allows time to speak about 2000 words -- far less
than the size of  a paper.

This time limit also restricts the number of concepts or major
technical points that can be made by the speaker and absorbed
by the audience. As a guideline, it is suggested that a presentation
cover no more than 10 technical points.

Logically linked by the theme of the paper, each of these technical
points can be expressed as a declarative statement, substantiated with
supporting material. Though the selection of no more than 10
significant points may seem like a great hardship, it will enhance
the audience appreciation of a paper by focusing on the most
significant information.

VISUAL AIDS
The best way to present material in a limited time period is to use
well-conceived visual aids that support each of the points to be made.
As a first approximation, the speaker should PLAN FOR overhead foils or
"VIEWING FRAMES" FOR EACH OF THE 10 TECHNICAL POINTS to be presented.
All rooms will be set up for overhead presentations. Any additional
audio-visual requirements must be arranged through the SCS office prior
to the conference.

Visual aids significantly simplify the presentation task. They
simultaneously focus the audience attention and provide cues for the
speaker. The speaker should plan to speak about all of the material on a
foil (or it shouldn't be there) before amplifying a single item.

In general, include no more than six supporting concepts on each foil
presenting one technical point. If there are more, simply select the
most pertinent. Remember once again, visual aids are not a complete
reconstruction of the manuscript. The full story appears in the
Proceedings and visual aids are only attention-focusing cues for the
most interesting highlights.

TIMING
A speaker can expect to speak about SIX SENTENCES PER OVERHEAD, WHICH
NORMALLY RUNS ABOUT 120 WORDS OR 1 TO 1.5 SPOKEN MINUTES. Since a
speaker will have ten OVERHEAD FOILS, the basic presentation will run
ten minutes. This allows 5-10 minutes to title, identify, and summarize
the basic material, recognizing that audience receptiveness peaks at
the beginning and conclusion of each talk.

SPEAKER ATTITUDE AND SPONTANEITY
The primary advantage for the speaker who organizes his presentation in
this manner is that he can approach the audience with the assurance
that HE CAN EASILY AND EFFECTIVELY PRESENT THE SALIENT POINTS IN HIS
PAPER.

Since the speaker is cued by his overhead foils, and since he certainly
can speak to any of the technical points he has selected for at least
one minute, the speaker no longer needs a written speech or even
prepared notes. Thus, a measure of spontaneity can enter the technical
presentations.

DEVIATIONS FROM GUIDELINES
The Session Chairperson makes the final decisions regarding timing of
presentations, subject to the constraint that all papers in the session
must be completed within the time allotted. Any deviations from these
guidelines should be approved by the Chair.

SPEAKER'S BREAKFAST
On the morning of your presentation, a Speaker's Breakfast will be held
for you to meet with your Session Chair and Co-Presentors. This meeting
is mandatory.
 
 

LIST OF AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT

Please note that a LIMITED number of computer equipment, projectors
and videotapes will be available for presentations at no extra fee,
so please contact the Organization early in order to check
the availability.

OVERHEADS/ 35MM PROJECTORS
Each meeting room will be equipped with an overhead unit for 8 1/2
11 transparencies.

VIDEO EQUIPMENT
Those who wish to make presentations via videotapes must MAKE
ARRANGEMENTS TO PAY FOR THE EQUIPMENT THEMSELVES. Authors should
remember that video equipment and computer projector rental rates are
relatively high ($125-$400 PER DAY) and the 21" or 25" screens are
undesirable for use with an audience of over 40 attendees.

LCD PROJECTOR
LCD projectors must be reserved with the SCS Office prior to the
conference. Cost is $100.00 per presentation (based on availability).

COMPUTERS
Speakers bringing microcomputers for demonstration during their session
should notify the SCS office at least four weeks in advance of the
meeting so that a table and power will be available. Speakers are
responsible for their computer systems and must MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO PAY FOR THE EQUIPMENT THEMSELVES.
The organization accepts no liability for them.
