The conference will provide invited lectures (45 minutes including discussion) and contributed presentations (30 minutes including discussion). Each contributor must submit a title and an abstract in time.

Abstracts should be prepared in LaTeX format and not to exceed one A4-page. LaTeX macros can be sent to you by e-mail on request, or you can click directly on file names to obtain the style file abs4hpsc.sty and the macro/example file abs4hpsc.tex, as well as abs4hpsc.dvi and abs4hpsc.ps. If someone is really not able to prepare abstract in LaTeX format, we accept submission in MS-Word 2000 format. But be aware that some errors could occur when we transform them into LaTeX format later. Please read the instruction/macro file abs4hpsc.doc, or ask us to mail it to you.

Contributors have to send the LaTeX file of their abstracts to the e-mail address hpsc2009@math.ac.vn. If there are some troubles (e.g., mail server fails, or domain is over quota, etc.) then please send e-mails to the address hpsc2009@yahoo.com.

The conference Proceedings with selected high-quality contributions will be published by Springer. Submitted papers are expected to be written in English and in LaTeX format according to the instruction of Springer. Please click here to read more details and to download files.
