    Papers submitted to GWC 2004 must not be under review by any other
    conference or publication during the GWC review cycle, and must not be
    previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere.

    As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors'
    names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the
    author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...",
    should
    be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed
    (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements
    above
    are subject to be rejected without review.

    Final papers should be submitted in electronic form (Word or LaTeX in
    the LNCS style).
    Style sheets can be dowloaded from:
