INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF TWO PAGE SYNOPSES AND ABSTRACTS

Anyone wishing to present a paper at FEC 2002 is requested to submit a two page synopsis (to be used for paper selection by the Programme Committee) and a short abstract (to be used for the Book of Abstracts) to the IAEA not later than 12 April 2002.

(a) Web Browser Based File Transmission

The two page synopses and the abstracts must be submitted in electronic format (no paper copies should be submitted). For the submission of the synopses and abstracts the IAEA will provide a web browser based, password protected file submission system called LISA 2002 (Lightweight Interactive Storage Application for the Collection of Conference Contributions Online). The two page synopses and abstracts must be submitted through LISA 2002; submission by e-mail, on CD-ROM or floppy, or as paper copies cannot be accepted (a previous version of LISA was used for electronic paper submission and production of the electronic conference proceedings of the Fusion Energy Conference 2000, held in Sorrento, Italy, in October 2000 (http://www.iaea.org/programmes/ripc/physics/)).

LISA 2002 will be operational from 5 March to 12 April 2002 for abstract and synopsis submission (no access before and after this period). LISA 2002 can be accessed using a web browser (e.g. Netscape Navigator 3.0 or higher, Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, iCab (for Macintosh users only), etc.) through the following Internet address:

http://www.iaea.org/programmes/ripc/physics/fec2002

Authors will be guided through LISA 2002 step-by-step. Access to LISA is password protected. For the first time login a common password has to be used. This common password will be communicated to scientists potentially interested in submitting a paper, to the members of the International Fusion Research Council and to the members of the Programme Committee. Interested persons who did not receive this information should contact the IAEA Scientific Secretary by e-mail (u.schneider@iaea.org) providing the following information: (i) in the subject line: FEC 2002 LISA; (ii) in the body text: full name, affiliation, full address and e-mail address (no file attachment, no other information).

In the course of the first login every author has to define his/her individual password. This password is needed for any subsequent login to submit author information, abstracts, two page synopses and, in September 2002, full manuscripts of accepted papers.

Besides the individual password you have to provide your e-mail address, which is a kind of “user name” of your LISA “account”. Do not forget the e-mail address (your “user name”) you chose for your first login and your chosen individual password! Within one LISA account (“user name”) you may submit information for different papers. This makes it possible for a co-ordinator or secretary to submit information for different authors, or for one author to submit several conference contributions.

If you experience difficulties when uploading the synopsis (see the next section, Electronic Format) and need to retry or if you want to change the information you have already submitted, you may visit LISA again until 12 April 2002. However, you should note that not more than 10 uploads of your abstract and synopsis are possible (per contribution; if you manage information for more than one contribution, you have 10 tries for each of them).

The ultimate deadline for electronic submission of the two page synopses and abstracts through LISA is 12 April 2002. New or replacement abstracts and synopses will not be accepted after 12 April 2002!

(b) Electronic Format of Two Page Synopses and Abstracts

Two Page Synopsis: Portable Document Format (PDF) or, in exceptional cases, when an author is not able to produce a usable file in PDF, PostScript (PS) format, will be the required format for submission of the two page synopses (see specifications below). No other formats will be accepted. Instructions on how to produce PDF or PS files will be posted on the FEC 2002 web site in February 2002. LISA will check your uploaded PDF or PS file(s), as past experience has shown that PDF and PS files may contain errors and may not show up correctly on different computers. LISA will inform you about any errors and their reasons; in that case you will have to prepare and resubmit a new PDF or PS file (please keep in mind the maximum limit of 10 uploads per contribution).

Abstract: All information required for the short abstract and the abstract text must be typed into special text boxes provided by LISA. Please note: (i) these text boxes provide only limited space that cannot be exceeded; (ii) mathematical characters and expressions, Greek or other symbols, and superscripts or subscripts may not be used in the abstract text boxes; use, for example, “beta” instead of “ß”, “n(e)” instead of “ne”, etc. The input provided in the text boxes will be used for producing the Book of Abstracts. More details will be posted on the FEC 2002 web site in February 2002.
