Important: SBCCI 2003 is running a blind review process. In preparing your manuscript, do not include any information which could reveal your identity, or that of your co-authors. The title section of your manuscript should not contain any author names, email addresses, or affiliation status. In the body of your submission, your should eliminate all direct references to your own previous work. That is, avoid phrases such as "this contribution generalizes our results for XYZ". Also, please do not disproportionately cite your own previous work. In other words, make your submission as anonymous as possible. We need your cooperation in our effort to maintain a fair, blind reviewing process - and to consider all submissions equally.

 
Please submit the following in PDF or PS format:

One PDF of PS file which should contain the complete paper including the title and abstract. Remember, no author or affiliation information. The submissions web page allows you to upload your paper and to type the author and affiliation directly. It also contains a list of keywords identifying possible topic areas, please mark the ones which most closely relate to your paper.
 
Please direct any questions to:

Reinaldo Bergamaschi and/or Wolfgang Rosenstiel
SBCCI Program Chairs
