SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors should submit manuscripts via the ER2000 Web site, in the form of PostScript or PDF files (contact Stephen Liddle, the conference Webmaster, er2000@byu.edu, if you need assistance). Papers may not exceed 5000 words. Additionally we suggest using at least an 11-point font and no more than 20 pages. The ER2000 home page (www.er2000.byu.edu) contains further details on electronic submissions.
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Springer-Verlag publishes a full-text electronic version of LNCS in parallel with the printed version, thus the electronic source of accepted papers will be required (LaTeX 2e format is strongly preferred). Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for possible publication in the Data & Knowledge Engineering journal.
