The title (in capitals) as well as the authors and their affiliations must be included on the top of the text. Papers and publications Papers of the invited lectures will be published as a special issue of Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion. Copies of the Journal will be distributed to the participants by the publisher after the conference. Papers should be submitted on the first day of the conference and will be refereed by the Programme Committee of the EPS-2001. The Conference Proceedings containing the 4-page contributed papers will be published on Compact Disc (CD-ROM) after the meeting. The Conference Proceedings will be distributed to the participants presumably early next year. A contributed paper will be included in the proceedings only if at least one of the authors attends the conference and has paid the conference fee. Submission of the 4-page contribution The four-page contributions should be written in clear English, in A4 size (21.0 x 29.5 cm) with a full 2.5 cm margin on all four sides, using 12 pts letter-type for words and one-and-half line spacing. The title (in capitals) as well as the authors and their affiliations must be included on the top of the text. The contributed papers should be submitted electronically between 28th May and 17th June 2001 to our web server running the Elise software <http://elise.cfn.ist.utl.pt>. You can obtain the users guide for this software in PDF format here, but probably you will not need it because the server has plenty of instructions online. Usernames used for abstract submission will not be deleted. Please enter as registered user if you remember your login information. Papers can be submitted in Postscript or PDF formats. Submission must allways be initiated on the webpage. The advised method for uploading the files is using the web browser. Upload using FTP is also possible but we suggest not to use this method unless 'direct upload' in the web browser doesn't work. The new PDF version 1.4 isn't supported. If you are using a rather new software, namely ®Adobe 5, for producing the PDF files for submission, please check the settings of your PDF program to assure that the files you upload are in version 1.3 or older. Uploaded files will be checked for length and format automatically. After modification the file should be uploaded again. The procedure should be repeated until no errors are found by the program and the author is satisfied with the proof. Sometimes Elise seems to be too strict on the verification of margins, refusing documents which supposedly should have margins of 2.5 cm. If that happens to you, we suggest you to increase the margins by some tenths of mm. Submission by email isn't available anymore directly in Elise. If you really aren't able to upload and confirm your contribution in Elise, please send the your contribution by email to the Secretariat (eps2001@cfn.ist.utl.pt). Please use this later method only as the last resource, i.e., after trying several times in different hours of the day to do the submission directly in Elise. Please check carefully format rules described above and try sticking to Arial/Helvetica and Times fonts or some much similar. For back-up a camera-ready copy of the 4-page papers must be handed in at the registration desk at the conference.
