TROUBLESHOOTING:
If you experience problems with the uploading your material or logging in, you should contact the web-administrator. Note that, if your problem is due to an error in code or problems with the server, it might take even few days until we solve it. This website is maintained on voluntary basis. See also the official disclaimer.
SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS:
Before you submit your article, advertisement or other short communication,
please check if it fulfills following requirements:
- Contents
The document has to be directly related to PM and its activities. The following short communications are especially encouraged: short
reports from conferences/workshops (preferably with photos), announcements
and scholarship offers. We will also accept shorter discussions, book
reviews, technical communications (collectively called "Articles")
and URL links.
- Style
When writing a report from a conference, you should try to give as many
technical details as possible rather than just giving your own opinion
(see most recent examples). If you would like
to make an announcement for a meeting or a job offer, please make sure
that you provide all relevant information, including the dates, locations,
conditions, contact info etc. Please make sure that the grammatical and graphical quality
of the documents is high.
- Format
The articles need to be submitted as HTML with attached graphical files. At the top of the document authors e-mail address or a link to his personal profile under members.asp.
Please also take care that the total size of the files is not
larger than 1 MB.
PREPARING ARTICLES:
First step to prepare articles is to download a template BLANK article file to your PC.
In this file, you will see the HTML code with areas to include your text in. For those who are less experienced with the HTML, we advise to browse the html code tutorial. In principle, the most simple approach for begginers is just to enter the text and then preview the results. HTML follows very similar principle as with the TeX language, which is now very common for writing research articles. The images need to be in the same directory, otherwise they will not be visible when uploaded.
Note that the text needs to be edited in a clean HTML editor such as Mozilla editor. DO NOT USE MS WORD OR SIMILAR MS SOFTWARE to prepare articles. Otherwise you will either get poor results or error in your article. We also advise you to preview your article several times before uploading the materials.
Once you have tested your HTML code and you are satisfied with the layout, you can upload your article by selecting the "Add new article" button under the internal pages (you need to login first of course). There, you will need to select your files for upload and enter title and summary of your article. Note that, once the article is uploaded, the users will be able to send you comments that you can latter on reply on.
