Authoring Guidelines

A proceedings volume of the 28th Annual Conference of the GfKl will be published as a special volume in the Series "Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization'' by Springer-Verlag.

A summary volume with the abstracts of papers selected for presentation will be distributed to conference participants. Therefore there are also guidelines for the submission of the abstract.

The LaTeX-guidelines for the abstract and for the papers are found for download at the bottom of this page. We describe the format instructions and the submission procedure both to be followed seriously. The text of these guidelines is written in the prescribed format and can be used as a specimen.

Note: The instructions displayed on this web page are only an excerpt of the complete guidelines to be followed. Please download the template files below.

Please, use the style file gfkl2004.cls and standard fonts only. This file takes care of all the formatting. Do not include other packages than these:

   \usepackage{amsmath} 
   \usepackage{amsfonts} 
   \usepackage{latexsym} 
   \usepackage{psfig} 
   \usepackage{graphicx}

The text of the submitted abstract should be written in English or German and must not exceed one page using the gfkl2004.cls style file.

The paper manuscripts should have a length of maximum 8 pages (invited speakers 12 pages) using the gfkl2004.cls style file. An abstract paragraph of 6-9 lines is to be included after the heading. Do not specify keywords in your paper.
