Instructions for authors
- Papers must not exceed 6 pages, including figures and references.
- Papers submitted to one of the special sessions (see topics and special sessions) must be identified on the paper submission form.
- The review process is single blind.
- LaTeX and Word style files are available. They must be used for generating the PDF file (see below). However the use of LaTeX is strongly encouraged, and the use of Word is discouraged as the latter usually generates many difficulties when the final proceedings are generated.
- Printing area must be 12.2 x 19.3 cm, centered on the A4 page. Left, Right, top and bottom margins will thus be respectively 4.4, 4.4, 5.2 and 5.2 cm. Complying with these margins and centering the text on the A4 sheets is mandatory: the manuscript will be reproduced in its original size in the proceedings, and margins will be cut to the book format.
- The pages of the manuscript will not be numbered (numbering decided by the editor).
LaTeX style file
Authors may download a LaTeX template and use its to typeset their manuscript.
Warning: although these templates have been succesfully used for years, they have some limitations. We regret that we cannot give support for their use. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the authors to check if a submission produced with the help of these files does correspond to the instructions for authors, in particular what concerns the margin requirements. If necessary, margins should be adapted to produce the required format.
The .tex file itself contains important instructions. In particular, do not forget to set the page size in your software (LaTeX, dvi2ps, and any other file generator used to produce the PDF file) to A4, not to Letter.
Please click on esannV2.tex to get the .tex source file to be used to typeset your manuscript, and on esannV2.cls to get the style file itself. An example of PDF file is available: click on esannV2.pdf. If you wish to recompile the esannV2.tex file, you should have the ESANN2005BW.eps figure too.
Word style file (not encouraged!)
Authors may download a Word template to typeset their manuscript; this template is available in .doc and .dot formats: please click on esannV2.doc or on esannV2.dot.

Authorized file formats
Your manuscript should be uploaded in PDF format (or, if needed, in PS format); any other format, including Word, is not accepted. Please use up-to-date professional software to generate your PS or PDF file.
Before uploading your file check that the format is A4 (and not Letter). Indeed some PDF generators generate by default a file in Letter format. If this is the case, please change the format to A4 both in your Word or LateX software and in the PDF generator, before uploading your file.
PDF settings must be set to 600 dpi..
Ethics, copyright transfer and registration
By submitting your paper (both the submission and the final version),
- you confirm that, in case of acceptance of your submission, at least one of the authors will register and pay the registration fee before 14.02.2025 (one full registration is needed for each accepted paper - see details on registration page for authors presenting multiple papers);
- you confirm that one of the registered authors will attend the conference and present the paper; the ESANN conference applies a strict policy about the presentation of accepted papers during the conference: authors of accepted papers who do not show up at the conference will be blacklisted for future ESANN and other conferences in the field;
- you confirm that you comply with ESANN publication ethics;
- you confirm that the same work has not been published or submitted elsewhere (conference or journal);
- you confirm that the same work will not be submitted to any other conference or journal before the notification of decision of your submission to ESANN;
- you give the rights to distribute and reproduce your paper in any form (paper and electronic) to the ESANN organization (d-side s.a.). In particular, you accept that your paper will be printed in the proceedings, made available on the web and on any possible electronic support. You keep the rights on your paper and you may freely distribute it and archive it in any repository, provided that full reference is given. Once it will be made available on the ESANN proceedings web pages, only this version may be distributed (it will contain the full references inserted on each page of the paper).
Making your paper available in a publication repository is not prohibited, provided that full reference is made to the ESANN submission (before acceptance) or to the ESANN publication (after acceptance). However, authors should be aware that the distribution of a submission before acceptance (in a repository or in any other way) has the advantage of ensuring a timestamp, but at the same time creates a risk of diminishing originality if other authors use this publicly available information. This risk is borne by the authors.
