Paper Submission (preliminary instructions subject to minor changes)
Papers of up to 15 pages must be sent to iwp9papers at ericjul.dk
in PDF or PS format. The call for papers is not here yet.
Please do not forget to include the e-mail address of the contact author.
Submissions will be acknowledged via e-mail (please allow for a small delay).
Papers must be visually similar to Plan 9 papers that can be found
at /sys/doc/9/ in order to compile a homogeneous proceedings book.
See for example this paper.
These macros and this mkfile
can be used to duplicate this look.
Please keep this look and feel, use the same fonts and do not include page numbers.
For accepted papers, besides the PDF/PS file, it would be nice, if authors could provide
a LaTeX (or troff) source as to facilitate the compilation of the proceedings printable version.
This is not mandatory.
In the worst case, page numbers and a toc will be added by hand. You might, however, have to compensate
for this at an Irish pub.
The workshop proceedings will be published in electronic form.
We are also considering the edition of a printed version with ISBN, to be distributed during
the workshop.
