Instructions for authors
- Papers must not exceed 6 pages, including figures and references.
- Papers submitted to one of the special sessions (see topics and special sessions) must be identified on the paper submission form.
- The review process is single blind.
- LaTeX and Word style files are available. They must be used for generating the PS or PDF files (see below). However the use of LaTeX is strongly encouraged, and the use of Word is strongly discouraged as the latter usually generates many difficulties when the final proceedings are generated.
- Printing area must be 12.2 x 19.3 cm, centered on the A4 page. Left, Right, top and bottom margins will thus be respectively 4.4, 4.4, 5.2 and 5.2 cm. Complying with these margins and centering the text on the A4 sheets is mandatory: the manuscript will be reproduced in its original size in the proceedings, and margins will be cut to the book format.
- The pages of the manuscript will not be numbered (numbering decided by the editor).
LaTeX style file
Authors may download a LaTeX template and use its to typeset their manuscript.
Warning: although these templates have been succesfully used for years, they have some limitations. We regret that we cannot give support for their use. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the authors to check if a submission produced with the help of these files does correspond to the instructions for authors, in particular what concerns the margin requirements. If necessary, margins should be adapted to produce the required format.
The .tex file itself contains important instructions. In particular, do not forget to set the page size in your softwares (LaTeX, dvi2ps, and any other file generator used to produce the PS or PDF file) to A4, not to Letter.
Please click on esannV2.tex to get the .tex source file to be used to typeset your manuscript, and on esannV2.cls to get the syle file itself. An example of compiled format is available PS and PDF formats: click on esannV2.ps or on esannV2.pdf. If you wish to recompile the esannV2.tex file, you should have the ESANN2005BW.eps figure too.
Word style file (strongly discouraged!)
Authors may download a Word template to typeset their manuscript; this template is available in .doc and .dot formats: please click on esannV2.doc or on esannV2.dot.

The style file itself contains important instructions. In particular, do not forget to set the page size in your softwares (Word, and also any printer driver or file generator to produce the PS or PDF file) to A4, not to Letter.
Authorized file formats
Files uploaded in PDF and PS format are accepted (any other format, including Word, is not accepted). Please use up-to-date professional software to generate your PS or PDF file. For LaTeX users, please generate a dvi file and convert it into PS using the "dvips -P pdf" command (the -P pdf option generates a PS file smoother on the screen when further converted to PDF). Other options such as using LaTeX to PDF or dvi to PDF utility generally does not produce PDF files as clean as those obtained through the above method.
During the electronic submission procedure, you will be asked to upload a file with your paper. Authorized file formats are PS (PostScript) and PDF (Postscript Description File). Depending on your preferred Word processor, please generate your PS or PDF file as follows. In both cases (LaTeX and Word users) please print the PDF or PS file on your PostScript printer, and check manually if the margin requirements are fulfilled. Indeed it happens that, depending on the configuration of your software, the PS or PDF file generation modifies the margins or sets the page format to Letter instead of A4. In both cases, the problem must be solved before uploading your paper.
PDF settings must be set to 600 dpi.
Once again, please pay a special attention to configuring your software with a default A4 page format, not Letter; the uploaded file must be in A4 format.
Registration and copyright transfer
By submitting your paper (both the submission and the final version),
- you confirm that, in case of acceptance of your submission, at least one of the authors will register and pay the registration fee before 24.08.2021 (one full registration is needed for each accepted paper - see details on registration page for authors presenting multiple papers);
- you confirm that one of the registered authors will attend the conference and present the paper; the ESANN conference applies a strict policy about the presentation of accepted papers during the conference: authors of accepted papers who do not show up at the conference will be blacklisted for future ESANN and other conferences in the field;
- you confirm that the same work has not been published or submitted elsewhere (conference or journal);
- you confirm that the same work will not be submitted to any other conference or journal before the notification of decision of your submission to ESANN;
- you accept not to distribute your paper before the conference (in particular, you will not make it available on a web page or in a publication repository);
- you give the rights to distribute and reproduce your paper in any form (paper and electronic) to the ESANN organization (d-side s.a.). In particular, you accept that your paper will be printed in the proceedings, made available on the web and on any possible electronic support. You keep the rights on your paper and you may freely distribute it and archive it in any repository, provided that full reference is given. Once it will be made available on the ESANN proceedings web pages, only this version may be distributed (it will contain the full references inserted on each page of the paper).
