2) Diagramm about the statistics of incoming contributions (last update:
12th October, 1998):
3) Please note
- that press release took place on 11th December 1998, so changes will
only be relevant for the electronic version.
- the current (Fr. 23rd October 1998) release of
the LATEX version comprises
in total (with 79 contributions [9+29+41],
everything except the hardcover)
352 Din A4 pages.

- though the incoming contributions were not edited chronologically
(e.g. the reviews were edited first),
all talks and posters with TeX files ftp-ed (or changes mailed) before
23rd October 1998 (274 d after the workshop and
222 d after the deadline) should now
(Fr. 23rd October 1998) be embedded in
the electronic version of the proceedings
and thus also in the printed one.
- Thanks for your help!
III. Technical Information about the Electronic Version
of the Graduiertenkolleg Workshop Proceedings
The construction of the HTML version
has been started on Su. 08th Feb. 1998 with a test version for
GK-internal use only.
The WWW version will be optimized
for Netscape 4.0x and Amaya 1.3a [or higher]:
but should work with all other browsers obeying the
W3C
recommendations.
For use of special features I have used
HTML 4.0 and
CSS,
but we hope that this will not bother you too much
(note that there is no browser available which is fully compatible to
HTML 4.0, but this will change in future).
In the meantime please look at the following conversion table of
special symbols (which are only supported by Sep. '98 release Amaya 1.3a):
Concerning CSS the situation is even worse - the implemented CSS functionality
in all browsers is not like the W3C has specified it.
Despite of this situation I have embedded the test style sheet in all
contributions.
The result should look better with NN 4.0x than with a browser not
knowing CSS;
but other browsers pretending to obey CSS 1.0 or 2.0 ... - this fight is
in progress.
Right now I would recommend the use of the latest Netscape Navigator
(current best version is 4.08 [since 4.5 is not generally
available and has no real improvements], see this
download link)
or the latest W3C Amaya (current version 1.4a, see this
download link)
on Unix systems (preferably a Linux distribution
like S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3).
IV. General Remarks about the Submission of Workshop Contributions
This chapter lists a few points important for authors who want to submit
their contributions to the workshop proceedings.
Simultaneously we will develop the printed version and construct an electronic
(HTML) version available on our
server.
1) Please note that:
- new information (and the template file "gkwspt.tex")
is available on our homepage:
'http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~webgk/ws98proinf.html' (this page).
- the proceedings will be printed in a special format, so you
should insert plain text only (we probably will change minor
things concerning the layout); you should fill in text after
'% <v>'-lines according to the following
'% # example:'-lines.
- there is a maximum page count for the printed proceedings:
- the invited speakers now have a maximum of 14 ()
pages for reviews,
- all other speakers have a maximum of 4 pages and
- poster presentations should be summarized on 2 pages.
The page count is meant for 11pt font on Din A4 paper format.
Please use our template file "gkwspt.tex" to check it.
You can also download the German style file "german.sty" if you want
to use it.
- you should give remarks about possible links in commentary lines
beginning with: '% WWW:'.
For the electronic version (HTML)
we would like to have as much WWW URLs to private homepages, sites of
institutes and research pages as possible.
- one may mark the positions for embedded pictures and reserve the space
(e.g. 1.5 cm via '\vspace*{1.5cm}' and don't forget
a following empty line).
- you have access to the
GK FTP server via:
'ftp ftp.astro.uni-bonn.de', Name: 'ftp', Password: 'your_email_address'
There you can enter 'bin', 'cd /incoming/webgk'
and send your pictures (in PS, JPG, GIF or PCX format), LaTeX and readme
files [please begin the file names with your name to avoid problems]
by 'mput ...'.
Additionally you should write to us (e.g. to 'jbraun@astro.uni-bonn.de')
a separate mail about the details.
- you should write abbreviations, references etc. as recommended for authors
of "Astronomy
and Astrophysics" (A&A).
- there is a deadline to submit this file:
all information should come in by
Su., 15.03.1998
2) LaTeX template:
All authors should use the following template file (please download
"gkwspt.tex" now, and also "german.sty" if you need it)
for their contribution to the Workshop Proceedings:
