Abstract: This document is written in the layout required for
the final paper to be submitted to the FSR 2001, 3rd International
Conference on Field and Service Robotics. We hope that every author understands
that it is necessary to follow carefully the given instructions in order to
obtain proceedings of good and uniform quality. The abstract should be a
concise, one-paragraph summary describing the general thesis and conclusion of
your paper. It should give a good reason for importance of paper and its
purpose. The abstract may not be longer than 10 lines. The submission day for

Keywords: final paper, layout, CD ROM and PDF
Final papers for
the final paper must be written according to the layout and instructions given
in this document. Please use good explicit English. Consult a native speaker or
a dictionary if necessary.
The advisable
length of the paper is six (6) pages and the maximum eight (8) pages. All
illustrations and references must be included in the 8-page allowance. The text
should be clearly typed on one side of the A4 sheet. Do not write page numbers
on the pages. Please test the quality
of your papers by printing them to ensure they will be printable according to
given instructions.
Please use 25 mm
left, right, top and bottom margins on the A4 (21,0 cm x 29,7 cm) sheet. If
your word processor do not use A4 sheets, letter size (8,5" x 11")
may also be used, but then the margins must be adjusted accordingly to produce
a printing area of 6,30" x 9,72”; maintain 1" left margin.
The text of the
final paper must be in two columns with single line spacing. Width of columns
are 7,37cm and gap between columns is 1,25 cm. Please use Times New Roman font.
The font sizes to be used in different parts of the final paper are given in
Table 1.
Begin all paragraphs
with a 5 mm indentation. Do not add blank lines between paragraphs. Leave one
line space above all headings. Use three levels of numbered headings at most.
The title of the final
paper, full names, organisations and addresses of the authors should be
centred. The title must not exceed two lines. Try to avoid acronyms and
abbreviations in the title.

3 Figures, tables and equations
Figures and
tables should be referred to in the text and they should be placed on the same
page, where they have been first discussed.
Please test the quality of your
papers by printing them in black and white before sending them. Check also that
pictures will fit in the width of one or
two columns.
Figures must be
readable: text strings included should be 10 points minimum. The minimum
printable line width is 0,3 mm. Black and white figures are preferred, because
colours do not reproduce when printed. Place figures according to columns width
7,37 cm. If figures are placed at the bottom or top of a page they may run
across both columns. In that case the maximum size of a picture is 15 cm x 10
cm (width x height).
Figures have to
be numbered and must have captions under the figures. Use one empty line
between figures, captions and texts.
Figure 1. The figure gives the limits, which must be followed in order to get a good result for your paper in the proceedings. This is an example of the maximum size of a figure if placed at the top or bottom of a page.
Tables must be
numbered and have captions above the tables.
Equations should
be placed on separate lines and numbered. They should be indented by 5 mm,
and the numbers should be within brackets and right aligned. See the example
(1).
(1) (1)
The paper starts
with the title, author(s) information, abstract, and keywords (max. 5).
After the main text there is a list of references. Citations within the text should include the author's last name and the year of publication, for example [Cheeseman, 1985]. Append lowercase letters to the year in cases of ambiguity. Treat multiple authors as in the following examples: [Abelson et al., 1985] (for more than two authors) and [Brachman and Schmolze, 1985] (for two authors). If the author portion of a citation is obvious, omit it, e.g., Levesque [1984b]. Collapse multiple citations as follows: [Levesque, 1984a; Haugeland, 1981].
