Instructions to Authors (AMSE periodicals)

Except for some survey papers, the papers must be original (research, development, results). Papers should be related to Modelling and/or Simu1ation. Then, authors are requested to indicate (if possible) to which AMSE periodical their paper is intended, although Referees may suggest another choice. Submissions are in English. All contributions are assessed by Referees.

In order to allow a correct reproduction of the paper, submissions Must comply with the following requirements:

*Titles (character size being 16), and section headings, should be clear and concise, typed in bold characters and not in capital letters; (the rest is in Times 12, or equivalent).

*Authors’ names and institution full addresses must be clearly indicated. Institution addresses are placed below the authors and before the abstract. Do not give telephone numbers.

*An Abstract (in English) of less than 150 words must precede the text; it follows immediately (on the first page) institution addresses. Abstracts in French and/or Spanish are welcome; if they are introduced, they follow immediately the abstract in English.

First page top margin should be set to 4 cm. Also, a discussion and a conclusion are expected.
