Main Theme
"Applications of Technology in Mathematics Research and Teaching
for the 21st Century"
ATCM'99 will provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and
teachers in education, mathematics and mathematical sciences, together
with researchers and developers of computer technology, to present
their results in using computer technology and exchange ideas and
information in their latest development. The conference will cover a
broad range of topics on the relevancy of technology in mathematical
research and teaching. These include but not limited to:
1. computer-aided teaching in mathematical sciences
2. computer algebra (systems) in research and teaching
3. multimedia and distance learning
4. graphing calculators
5. mathematical research and teaching using technology
6. numerical analysis
The conference will consist of plenary sessions by invited speakers,
parallel sessions by contributed papers, and tutorial sessions on
software and hardware relevant to mathematical research and teaching.
Books, software and hardware may also be on display.

one A4 or letter size page; see this example in pdf format
(http://www.cs.runet.edu/~atcm/ATCM99/GUIDELINES/abstract.pdf. Abstracts
can be
submitted by electronic mail in either generic LaTeX (no special style
files
other than those provided in LaTeX) format, in HTML (Hyper Text Markup
Language),
or ASCII text form. Use the LaTeX template or the HTML template or the
ASCII
template provided at http://www.cs.runet.edu/~atcm/ATCM99 if at all
possible.
Also, abstracts can be submitted electronically via the WWW from the
site
(http://www.cs.runet.edu/~atcm/ATCM99/SubmitForm.html).
Or, if you have no access to internet email, you can submit your
abstract as a
hard copy by postal mail.
Accompanying each abstract (except for submissions via the Web), you
must include
a text file/typewritten page that indicates the primary contact person.
Information of the contact person includes full name, postal mailing
address,
email address (preferred), phone number and fax number if any.
Each abstract must be sent to both chairs of the International Program
Committee.

Notification of acceptance of abstracts for presentation at the
conference will
be sent out on 15 July 1999. Also, authors of accepted abstracts will be
invited
to submit the full paper version. All full papers will be refereed.
Accepted full
papers (that are presented at the conference) will appear in the
Proceedings
(Hard Copy) and the Electronic Proceedings. Submission guideline for
full papers
is given next.
Full Papers
Papers shall not exceed 10 printed A4 pages (12 pt and no less) in
length. Papers
contributed by Plenary & Special Session Speakers shall not exceed 15
printed A4
pages (12 pt and no less) in length.
Detailed specifications are given in full guidelines as PDF.
Specifications
relating to page dimensions, font size etc. are given in page
specifications in
page specifications (a PDF file). (If you use the LaTeX2e proforma
format, all
these specifications are taken care of automatically.)
You must choose any one of the following two formats to submit your full
paper.
The Editor-in-Chief/Editors reserve the right not to publish in the
Electronic
Proceedings, or EP, papers which are in exotic format X (regardless of
acceptance
by referees based on content), if, in their judgment, it is too
difficult to
achieve a uniform style in the EP with papers in exotic format X.
HTML
The use of HTML should be restricted to articles that have a minimum of
mathematical symbols. All figures must be in either GIF or JPEG format.
All
references should be cited using the numerical system (e.g., [3]) in the
order in
which they appear in the text. All references to a Web Site should be
written
using the anchor tag.
If you are preparing your document using some word processing software
which has
a conversion-to-HTML facility, please follow the guidelines given in the
page
specifications.
LaTeX2e
Guidelines in LaTeX2e format are given in this file. The guidelines can
be used
as a LaTeX2e template. They contain a description of how to include any
postscript (EPS/PS) files. In order to run this file Guidelines.tex you
will need
to download also the files atcm99.tex, bibtexlogo.sty, and
fourierfig1.eps. Make
sure you use the correct filename when "save".) A copy of this file can
be viewed
as a pdf file.
Tutorials
The ATCM'99 would like to invite educators and researchers in
mathematical
sciences to submit proposals to conduct tutorials for participants
during the
conference. The scope of proposal should be consistent with the themes
of
ATCM'99. The ATCM'99 will be an excellent opportunity for the computer
hardware,
software and calculator companies to bring in experts to conduct
hands-on
tutorials for the interested participants in ATCM'99. We expect to
attract over
400 educators and researchers around the world.
Guidelines for submission follow the same as submission for abstracts
and/or full
papers where applicable. Accepted full proposals will be compiled in the
Electronic Proceedings only. The URL will be published in the hardcopy
of the
Proceedings. Tutorial proposals should also indicate the proposed number
of
hour(s) to conduct the tutorials, and equipment needed. Notification of
acceptance will be sent out on or before August 30, 1999.
Interested parties may submit the ABSTRACTS and FULL PROPOSALS to BOTH
parties

Exhibitions
ATCM'99 will provide spaces during the period of the conference for
software,
hardware, calculator companies, and the book publishers to display their
latest
products or books in the field of mathematical sciences.

training qualified personnel for the elementary education and the social
and
economic development of the city.
GNU is easily accessible by all means of transportation. During ATCM
'99, GNU
will provide a shuttle bus service between the campus and the Baiyun
International Airport and the Guangzhou Railway Station.
We can arrange the following accommodations for the participants:
Guest House : US$22 per night
Academic Exchange Center, GNU (3 Stars) : US$35 per night

*All the rates given are on the basis of a standard hotel room with two
separate
beds. If you want to share a room, each of the roommates pays half of
the price.
Price does not include breakfast. Cost of breakfast is very affordable
though.
