WSC 2009 Author Kit

This page contains instructions and templates for preparing your 2009 WSC paper or poster abstract. The files have been considerably reworked from previous versions to simplify the editorial process and to reduce the number of files that you need. In addition, the WSC has moved from a two-column format to a single column format, effective with WSC 2009. So please use the WSC 09 templates, rather than recycling old template files!

All submissions should follow the formatting instructions in this kit. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in a paper being rejected or returned for revision. We look forward to reading your work, and thanks for contributing to the preeminent conference on computer simulation!
