The proceedings of the Gaia Symposium "The Three Dimensional Universe with Gaia" will be published by the European Space Agency in early 2005 as part of its Special Publications series (this proceedings will be SP-576). All papers must be prepared using the LaTeX templates provided (see below for files and instructions). All components for the papers (i.e. the tex file, all figures, and a pdf version of the paper) must be submitted to Gaia_Symposium_2004 at rssd.esa.int.
The deadline for submission of final papers is 12 November 2004. Papers received after this deadline will not be included in the printed proceedings.
Instructions for authors are contained in the file Gaia2004_instructions.pdf. In addition to practical details such as page limits and submission details, the instructions also describe how to use the LaTeX class file (Gaia2004.cls), and how to prepare the paper. If, having read the instructions, you still have questions about preparing your paper, please contact Gaia_Symposium_2004 at rssd.esa.int and put 'Gaia 2004 proceedings' in the subject line.
