Program Committee has the right to reject without consideration the papers which aren't conforming to requirements described in this section.

The following types of the scientific work are acceptable at the conference:

a full article;

a short article;

a poster.

The program committee can admit article with the change of its status (e.g. the work claimed as a full article may be admitted as a short article or a poster). In this case, the author is to prepare the final version of the article according to its new status.

Requirements for the content of the article

Full article (up to 12 A4 pages) shows the results of the completed scientific research and usually has the following structure.

Introduction – issues, goals and objectives of the research, overview of the familiar researches.

Theory – formalized goal setting, problem description and analytical study of the mathematical models, methods and algorithms proposed by the author.

Implementation – description of the program implementation of the proposed models, methods and algorithms.

Results – results of the computing experiments confirming the adequacy and effectiveness of the proposed models, methods and algorithms, comparison of the approach with the existing ones.

Conclusion – summary of the obtained results, final conclusions and directions for further research.

Short article (up to 6 A4 pages) describes preliminary results of uncompleted scientific study. The structure of the short article basically follows the structure of the full one.

Poster (one A4 page long) contains information about plans and initial results of recently started scientific research.

Requirements for the formatting of the article

Page settings: page size is 297x210 mm (A4 format). All margins should be of the same size – 25 mm. Headers, footers and page numbering are prohibited.

The structure of the article. The submitted article should have the following structure:

Source code is formatted using Courier New font of 10 pt size.

Statements, lemmas and theorems are typed as separate paragraphs and are numbered in the order they appear in the text, starting with the number one.

Figures and tables. Every figure and table should have a caption. Figure caption is of 10 pt font with 6 points before and after spacing and begins with the bold keyword "Fig. <Figure number>." that places under the image. Please do not use color drawings. Table caption is typed in 10 pt font with 6 points before and after spacing and begins with the bold keyword "Table <table number>. " that places above the table.

Cross-references and footnotes. Footnotes are typed in 10 pt font with justified alignment and Arabic numerals numbering and are placed at the bottom of the page.
