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.

These, I hope, are the most important rules you need to know now. 
This edition is from April 25, 1995.
