Please follow the general guidelines for layout and style of papers found at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/tmesauth.asp. This site also has both Latex and Word templates for papers. Please use these templates even if you are submitting for the proceedings or sending just an abstract.

All papers and abstracts will be reviewed and may be selected for publication (as above), for oral or poster presentation, or may be rejected.
