15th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering
25 - 29 August 2002
Praha, Czech Republic
Instructions for Authors of CHISA Congress

Final summary (to be printed in Set of Summaries)
A final summary must be submitted if it is different from the preliminary one. Please follow all the instructions in the example very carefully to achieve the formal appearance of a summary as closely as possible. The summary should contain the maximum amount of relevant information and must not exceed two pages. Regrettably, most of the preliminary summaries have not complied with these instructions which were already published in the first circular. Therefore, they had to be re-edited by the Scientific Committee, which is not responsible for possible changes ensuing from such reformatting. 
The final summary must be submitted before 31 May 2002. The best way to submit the summary is direct uploading at the address www.chisa.cz/2002/appl using your personal log-in password. This is also the easiest way to change the title, authors, affiliations, etc. Alternatively, it can be sent by e-mail to: paper@chisa.cz as an attachment. Please, do not use fax since the quality is not acceptable for reproduction. The preliminary summary will be used if the final summary is not obtained by the deadline. 

Full text (for CD-ROM) 
The length of a full text including figures and tables should not exceed 20 pages. The first page should start with a title of the paper, the names of the author(s) in proper sequence (without titles or academic degrees), the affiliation address (university, institution, company), and contacts (telephone, fax, e-mail, website). Full texts are required for both lectures and posters. If the full text is not received by the deadline, the final summary will be used instead.
The full text must be prepared in MS Word (*.doc or *.rtf file). Use only standard fonts - Times New Roman recommended. Figures and tables should be placed within the body of the text. Please do not draw figures directly using the Word editor since such figures may become distorted. Alternatively it is possible to submit the full text in PDF format (with fonts embedded in the document), or as a postscript file. This format preserves the exact appearance of the page. To create a postscript file (e.g. in Windows) you must install a postscript printer driver. Keep in mind that the text is stored in a vector form when the text is exported into such a file (type 1 font, not in bitmap form). If you have figures in colour, use a colour postscript driver.
The full text should be submitted preferably in electronic form to this address: paper@chisa.cz as an attachment. It may also be sent on a diskette; hard copy will be accepted only as an exception. The full text must be submitted before 31 May 2002. If you are unable to observe this deadline, please inform the Organising Committee when you send it.

Poster presentation
The majority of papers will be presented as posters and thus they are a very important part of the Congress program.
Scope. Try to arrange your poster in such a way to provide a clear comprehensible image of your work at first sight even for those participants who are not conversant in your special field of interest. Give preference to diagrams, pictures and charts. The text should be very concise and accentuate the particular aim of your work, its importance, application, and the key formulas and symbols. Leave details to the discussion with interested people and to the full text. 
Form. The size of the poster board is 120 cm (height) by 150 cm (width). The presenters will mark their posters with a heading (max. 20 x 120 cm), containing the title (size of letters 4 cm, at least), and the name(s) of author(s), affiliation, city and country (size of letters 2 cm). Letters under 1 cm are not suitable. Posting only a printout of the full text does not do credit to the sense and purpose of poster session. 
Presentation. The presenters will arrange their posters at designated panels before the beginning of the poster session and remove them immediately after the closure of the session. The presenters must attend their posters during the coffee break from 15.20 to16.00 h.

Lecture presentation
Since the oral sessions are based on rigid time schedules, a regular lecture including discussion can last no longer than 20 minutes. Forty minutes are reserved for keynote lectures only. 
Projection. Overhead projectors (with 21x21 cm square active field) for transparencies will be available. Attention should be paid to the preparation of sheets; be aware that no one can follow overfilled transparencies displayed for only several seconds. It is not advisable to use complex drawings, diagrams or tables. Only a few lines should be presented on a single transparency or in a table containing written text. We recommended a graphical representation over a tabular one. A slide projector will not be available. 
Data projectors. Lecture rooms will be equipped with dataprojector/PC with 3.5" diskette and CD-ROM drives, and with PowerPoint software (version 97). A PC for checking the PowerPoint presentation beforehand will be available in the Congress Reading Room. We would prefer each lecturer to bring his personal notebook. Note: Mackintosh software will not be available, power supply is 220. A connection to Internet will not be available in the lecture rooms. 
Oral presentation. The lectures should be presented in English. Kindly use short sentences, a slower pace of delivery and clear and distinct pronunciation. This concerns specifically those presenters who speak in their mother tongue (i.e. English).
