Detailed Paper Submission Instructions
Thanks for your interest in IMC 2005. To submit a paper, you will need to complete the following 3 simple steps. Please follow the instructions carefully to avoid any problems with the handling of your paper.
On this page we give an overview of the steps and details of paper preparation. Details on how to actually go about submission are given on the paper submission Web site, which you should turn to after reading this page.
Please note that IMC is not double blind. Author names will be available to reviewers, and anonymization should not be performed.
