Authors must submit an online title page and an electronic version of their paper in pdf format only. Electronic papers not in pdf format will be rejected without review. Papers cannot be submitted by email or FAX! To submit a paper, you first need to register in Confmaster system as new author, and then submit your paper. These two steps are described hereafter:

1. Register Author

• Open the KR2004's paper submission URL

  http://KR2004.confmaster.net

  and register on this site as new author. You must fill the slots requesting your address, and propose a login name.

• Click on the link labeled "Register as new author" on the left hand menu. This will open up a form to register as a new author. All of the fields marked with a * are required. At the bottom of this page, you enter a login name.
• Once this form is completed, click on "Submit" button. You will then receive an email confirming your registration to KR 2004, and giving the password of your account.
  After you have received the message with your login and password, you will be able to submit your paper, edit your data, and change your login and password.

2. Register Paper

• Once your account has been created, you can login.
• On the left hand menu appears submenu "Author". Click on the link labeled "Register Paper", and a form will open. All of the fields marked with a "*" are required. At the bottom of this page, you enter the name of your PDF file.
• Once this form is completed, click on "Submit" button. Your paper is now uploaded and you will receive an email confirming your submission to KR2004.

NOTES

• You can upload your paper at any time, and you can re-upload your paper any time before the submission deadline. To do this, login to the KR2004 Paper Submission site and click, in the right hand column, on "view own papers". A list of papers you have registered will appear. On the EXTREME RIGHT HAND side of the web page (you may need to scroll the window to the right to see it), there are two "floppy disk" icons. The left one (with an up arrow) is to upload (or re-upload a new version) of your paper. The right one (with a down arrow) is to download the latest version held by the KR2004 Paper Submission site.
• Abstracts need not be anonymous - ie you can have the author's names on the pdf of the extended abstract.
• Appendices beyond the 12 page limit are not allowed! Authors could point to extra material on the web however reviewers are under no obligation to access or read the extra material.
• The online abstract length is limited to 500 words. New lines (carriage returns) are counted as a word.
• You can delete or edit a paper you registered, even if some part of the registration failed (such as overlong abstract). Just click on "view own papers" and then the icons on the FAR RIGHT of the page let you edit or delete your registration.
• The HTML generated by the KR2004 Online Submisison System assumes a fairly wide screen, and as a result in many of the tables that appear there are active buttons on the far right side of the page. It is likely that you may have to scroll the web browser to the right to see some of these buttons.
• PC members are already registered with the KR on-line submission system. You do not need to register again. There is a "Password Forgotten?" link on the front page which will email you your password if you forgot it. If your email address has changed since you were registered, you will need to send mail to KR2004Chairs@it.uts.edu.au and one of us will update your email address.

If you have difficulties please contact the Program Chairs KR2004Chairs@it.uts.edu.au.
