How to Submit an Article to the Issue.
The length of an article is not limited. Deadline for paper submission is November 1, 2008.
Publication will be done only on the results of the peer review according to refereeing policy of SIGMA. We would like to stress that SIGMA does not distinguish between regular papers and the proceedings contributions: they will be refereed by at least two referees within the usual procedure of the journal. Only the papers containing new results that were not published or submitted elsewhere are accepted for consideration. Review papers will also be welcome, but they should not be simply reviews of authors' own work that is already published elsewhere.
If you have your paper ready earlier than the deadline, we encourage you to send it now. We will start the reviewing process and publish the paper as soon as the positive publication decision is made. The paper will be indexed in the relevant databases as soon as it is published without waiting for completion of the special issue.
