Please follow these format instructions carefully. All articles for the proceedings must be submitted electronically and cannot be more than 500K in size. Your refereed research paper must be submitted in PDF format in order for it to be published in the Decision Sciences Institute’s Conference Proceedings. Recall that proceedings will only be distributed in electronic form, on CD-ROM, yet submissions should nevertheless comply with the formatting guidelines below.

Only after you have carefully proofed your paper should you put it in the PDF format. We recommend that you print samples of your paper to verify the correct margin settings. Papers that deviate from these instructions may not be published at the discretion of the Proceedings Coordinator.
