PAGE FORM and ELECTRIC SUBMISSION:

Please prepare your U.S. Letter-size (8.5" x 11") paper as a plain ASCII PostScript file with NO encoding, condensing, or encapsulation. If you plan to submit a PDF file, you MUST adhere to the following PDF specifications:
Basic PDF distiller settings MUST be changed to:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Authors must check their final PDF files before submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and subset. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not embed. These fonts must be avoided.

Guidelines for generating and submitting PostScript files are available on our Internet site at: http://computer.org/author/psguide.htm

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please use your last name, first initial when naming and sending your file to the above FTP site, followed by a keyword from your paper title. For example, the filename for J. Smith submitting the paper titled: "On Urquhart's C Logic" would be smithj_urquhart.ps
