This is to certify (again) that you are on the mailing list concerning ISPRS Congress 1996. For further information look from time to time to the home page of the WWW with the browser - URL http://www.ipf.tuwien.ac.at/isprs.html The announcement for exhibitors is printed. For requests please use my email. ***The Second Announcement is being printed (for distribution from May 1995 onwards) where you will find all the necessay information, the forms for registration, hotel reservation, and also the call for papers, and the Form for Abstracts. It will inform you about details.YOU ARE ON THE MAILING LIST (if you have sent us your full postal address). ***The Second Announcement and other useful information you may receive also >from congress@mondial.via.at Many authors wish to have the informations about the submittance of papers already now. So I have prepared - and updated - the following summary: The Council of ISPRS agreed to the following procedure: You are asked to submit extended abstracts of 750 to 1500 words length (or the full paper), ***or of 750 words and of one page with graphics,together with the Form for Abstracts (follows attached). Both please send to me, if without illustrations - you may send it by email in advance. But, as you can see from the Form for Abstract, we need your signature, and that is the reason, why we need it anyhow by (air)mail. The deadline for the receipt of extended abstracts is 15 October 1995. These abstracts may be written in one of the three official ISPRS languages, in English, French, or German, and they have to contain enough detail to clearly convey the approach and the results of the research, the idea behind your proposal, the very reason , why you think your report or application being an interesting message for others. The topics of your paper or the paper itself should not have been published before in one of the main journals for photogrammetry and remote sensing, please submit only original material. Your paper should contain some new idea, some new method, something really interesting, some important news for the reader. Papers are to be written for the reader, not for the author(s)! And the abstract should present already the main topics, facts, and results, not only the contents. The reader is in hurry like you yourself, when you are searching for interesting things in thick journals. Write papers of such a type you wished to read or study yourself. The extended abstracts are the basis for acceptance, which is the responsibility of the Commission Presidents who cooperate with their Working Group Chairmen. Together, they are responsible for the reviewing. The papers will get a remark line at their end saying e.g.: Received (Date). Reviewed and accepted by Comm.X as Invited Paper by (Name) or Received (Date). Accepted by Comm.Y for Poster presentation by (Name) There will be, as always, different classes of papers.(I use the abbreviations within my software:) K _Keynote Papers will give rather general views, overall surveys, and visionary aspects of the future. They are papers of major importance. I _Invited Papers are good for summaries and thorough treatment of wider areas as well as for introduction of new fields. Both types of papers are to be presented orally, and both will be written at special invitation, only. O,P..Presented papers for _Oral or _Poster presentation, N _National Reports, therefore the Council will release special and new rules, and other papers A _Accepted for the archives, only. The class A does not mean any devaluation. It is an honour to publish in the ISPRS Archives. The Commission Presidents will organize compact sessions. It is well possible, that a very valuable paper does not fit to any of the sessions, that there are more top papers than time available within sessions, and that the topic is not suited for poster presentation. For presentations as I, O, or P there might exist also a W _Waiting list for papers which are supposed to fill a gap, because the one or the other paper might not come in time or the author might become ill, etc. For the R _Rejection of papers, the Commission Presidents are the responsible ones. There is no correspondance possible with the Programme Management about acceptance of rejected papers, only with the Commission Presidents or with their coresponsible Working Group Chairmen. Please, be cooperative and accept their decision. For the coming congress only one paper is accepted for one registered participant. For a second paper you need another registered participant as co-author, who has no paper himself. Only the Congress Director can make well-founded exceptions. Further your paper will be accepted for the Archives as well as for presentation only, if your REGISTRATION fee has been PAID latest on the deadline date for the full paper, which is 10 April 1996. We all know about colleagues, who just wish to show up in the proceedings, but are No Shows at the congress. This causes unnecessary work for the organization, costs money, and the archives get heavy instead of the international journals. Please, plan in time, secure travel and accomodation funding prior to submittance of abstracts. Paying or submitting after the deadline means that your paper will not be accepted and not printed and not presented. Of course you will remain a most welcome guest at the congress! And many will thank you for non submittance of a paper as the Archives will not become too heavy. On the other hand, if you have something important or interesting, please submit an extended abstract for the reviewers, the earlier the better, together with the FORM FOR ABSTRACTS, which you will find in the Second Announcement. It is attached also here. Fill in then this form and send it together with the abstract to me. ( Put nice stamps on the envelope, that makes me happy. But unfortunately we have now email and fax, also.) Make sure in time that any Government or Company Clearance to present and to publish is final at the time of submittance. Again there will be the possibility for single authors to apply for the PRIZE FOR BEST PAPER OF YOUNG AUTHORS. Authors must be born on or after 1 July 1961. At least four, may be ten Prizes will be donated by the Japanese Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2500 sfr for each recipient. Applicants should deliver an age proof and an additional copy of the full paper for the ISPRS President not later than 5 Jan 96 (Deadline). Their registration must be finalized and a down payment transfered to Vienna not later than 15 Jan 96 (Deadline) This downpayment has to be 2000 ATS for non-students and zero for students and corresponds to the reduced registration fee due for winners of the prize. The Winners will be informed by the President of ISPRS after 31 March 96. The Treasurer of ISPRS will send funds to Winners after 30 April 96. The Commission Presidents' deadline to decide about the status of the papers of all other authors is 15 February 1996. Upon receipt of your abstract I shall send you the Authors Kit, the ISPRS Guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript together with other relevant information. Latest then finish the manuscript, camera-ready, STRICTLY according to the ISPRS Guidelines for Authors.( We shall put it also into WWW ! ). The shorter the paper the better. The maximum length allowed for Invited Papers is 12 pages. Presented papers (_O, _P) should not exceed 6 pages. We have to charge the author for any excession to ensure that the high printing costs will be covered. The page charge will be ATS 500.- Colour pages will be possible at the end of the relevant volume of the Archives. Authors have to submit the four-colour-separations and pay 2000 ATS per page. That is expensive, in fact we dont want the work with colour pages, but if someone wishes to add colour pages we can and will do it, and best quality is assured. Except the YOUNG AUTHORS, who have to be faster (See above), send the camera ready manuscript to me, with nice stamps, of course, don't use fax nor email!, so that I get it AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, ( help us, please, to minimize our night work ) BUT I MUST HAVE IT ON THE DEADLINE DAY, 10 APRIL 1996.
