 In the format of those files, a conference paper is approximately 28 pages in length and a journal paper approximately 40 pages.  Note that if you have had a conference paper accepted, you typically would have to add about 40% which results in a journal paper of about 56 pages.  (This is considered long by most journals to which we submit, in particular KAIS and DKE, causing one of those dilemmas of publishing.  Notice that workshop papers are often shorter, which decreases this problem.  However, I do not travel oversees to only present a workshop paper.) In the format of those files, a conference paper is approximately 28 pages in length and a journal paper approximately 40 pages.  Note that if you have had a conference paper accepted, you typically would have to add about 40% which results in a journal paper of about 56 pages.  (This is considered long by most journals to which we submit, in particular KAIS and DKE, causing one of those dilemmas of publishing.  Notice that workshop papers are often shorter, which decreases this problem.  However, I do not travel oversees to only present a workshop paper.)
  
 +===== Font size issue =====
  
 +Sometimes there is a problem using <notwiki>LaTeX</notwiki> to create first a .ps document and then a .pdf document where the font size shrinks.  This was found to  be caused by an A1 paper setting in the dvips command which causes this behavior.  Use "''dvips -t letter <filename>''" to resolve.

 +===== !BibTex author entries =====
 +
 +''{ firstname lastname and firstname lastname ... }'' To cause the correct placement of "et al" use "''and others''" in the author entry.

 +===== Escape italics in Definition =====
 +  
 +If you are using an environment such as "definition" or "theorem" and you want to escape the italics formatting use: <code> \textnormal{my text} </code>  Within a math environment you can also use <code> \mbox{} </code>
