Format
Your camera-ready paper is
due on 5 June 2000 (5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time). Instructions on how to prepare your paper for publication in the
conference proceedings are available in <format.doc>. All
papers must be formatted in accordance with these instructions. For
information on page-length restrictions, see Uploading Your
Camera-Ready Paper.
The
following files are available to help you
format your paper:
 |
<vldb.sty>
is a LaTeX style file, defining environments that conform to the
publisher's guidelines. It should work with LaTeX versions 1 and 2.
(Note: When tested, vldb.sty could be made to work only by including
it through a \documentstyle directive like this: \documentstyle[vldb]{article}
(this
may prevent access to some LaTeX 2 features).
|
|
<vldb.doc>
is a Word version of the publisher's guidelines, appropriately
formatted. This file includes the required copyright notice. |
When your paper is complete,
it must be converted to a PDF file, 8 1/2 by 11. To minimize problems with PDF files, please refer to Recommendations
on PDF Conversion. Please
be sure that your camera-ready paper, when printed, adheres to the
specifications outlined in <format.doc>.
Copyright

paper must include a copyright notice. The style files <vldb.sty
and vldb.doc> include this notice. The notice can also be copied
from <copyright.notice.txt>.
A Copyright Transfer Form is also required. See <copyright.form.doc> for
the Copyright Transfer Form.
