• Submissions for MWSCAS 2023 are blinded BUT NOT double blinded (i.e., reviewers are anonymous but not authors). PLEASE INCLUDE AUTHOR names and contact information in your submitted manuscript. 

• Paper Size: US Letter (8.5" x 11") or A4 (210mm X 297mm)

Please see below for templates to use in preparing your paper(s).

Automatic PDF Conversion: If you are preparing your file using MS-Word or LaTeX, the PaperCept platform can convert your file to an Xplore PDF compliant file automatically. At the point when you are asked to upload your file, instead of an already created PDF file, you can

• MS-Word: Upload your MS-Word1 file in the required form, and the PDF file will be created for you. Please inspect the file and if margins are within prescribed gray background, you can simply click on Submit button to deposit your file. Make sure that the path to your MS-Word file or its name does not contain non-ASCII characters.
  1Please be aware that Word 2003 or earlier sometimes have flawed equations (in particular large brackets). It often helps to save these files from Word 2007 or 2010 as docx files before conversion. If there still are flawed equations these should be redone with the Equations editor for Word 2007 or 2010.

• LaTeX: Upload your LaTeX source file together will all images and style files in a SINGLE zip archive. The main LaTeX file must be called root.tex. Make sure that the path to your zip file or its name does not contain non-ASCII characters.
  When converting from .tex2 -> .pdf you have a choice of:
  LaTeX: use if you have postscript code (PSTricks) or eps graphics in the tex file, it can also handle png and jpg images
  pdfLaTeX: use if all images are pdf, png, jpg - does not support eps or postscript without external packages
  XeLaTeX: use if you have unicode fonts. Supports PSTricks, TikZ and all 4 image formats
  Auto: Let the system analyze and use the best package
  In every case, download and inspect your file. If the output depends on some resources only available on "your" system, it may not appear the same as what you see as the output of your local installation.
  2Documents prepared using "Scientific Workplace" or "Scientific Word" are not supported.

• Your own PDF file: If you are uploading your own PDF file created using pdfLaTeX, please make sure to use
  \pdfminorversion=4 OR
  \pdfobjcompresslevel=0
  in the .tex file preamble, else the generated PDF file will be corrupt.
