Submission of Papers
The International Program Committee and the Technical Committee on
Computer Graphics and Imaging will make all decisions concerning
the acceptance of papers. Three (3) copies of the FULL PAPER
should be received at the IASTED Secretariat - CGIM'99, #80,
4500 - 16 Avenue NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T3B 0M6 by April 30,
1999. The paper must be a maximum of 12 pages double-spaced
including figures, tables, and references. Alternatively, papers
may be submitted in PostScript format as an email attachment to
iasted@cadvision.com. A PostScript output of your paper may be created
by choosing any PostScript capable printer driver, and then printing
your paper "to a file". Be sure 'CGIM'99 Submission' is in the subject.
All Postscript submissions must be formatted for 8.5" X 11" size paper.
Authors should provide a maximum of five keywords describing their work,
and must include a statement confirming that if their paper is accepted
one of the authors will attend the conference to present it. Please
include the full name, affiliation, full address, telephone and fax
numbers, and email address of the corresponding author. Notification
will be mailed by June 30, 1999. Authors of accepted papers will be
required to submit their camera-ready final papers and full registration
by August 16, 1999. IASTED reserves the right to reject any final
manuscript if its quality is not acceptable. If this should occur, the
author(s) will be notified and the registration will be refunded.
Review Criteria
The IPC and the TCCGI will review papers with a very critical eye to
currency, quality, thoroughness and completeness of research and results.
Submissions which are simply proposals for further research, that are
based on conjectural or unsubstantiated conclusions, or that are based
on substantially incomplete research and/or results will NOT be accepted.
Papers which present excellent ideas and research, but do so in a sloppy
or careless manner will not be accepted. Student papers are welcome,
but will only be accepted if they are of exceptional quality.
Submission of Tutorials
Individuals wishing to organize a tutorial (3 hours) should submit a clear
and concise proposal describing the tutorial, including the names and
credentials of the presenters to the IASTED Secretariat by April 30,
1999. The tutorial proposal should indicate the background knowledge
expected of the participants, the objectives, the time allocation for
the major course topics, and a resume of the instructor(s). Submissions
from research organizations are welcomed. Tutorial presenters have
their registrations waived and are given a nominal honorarium for their
contribution.
Special Session Proposals
Individuals wishing to organize a special session of 10 - 14 topically
related papers are required to submit a clear and concise proposal
describing the session, which includes: the names and contact
information of all the authors in the session, and the full text of
all the papers. Session proposals must be submitted to:
IASTED Secretariat - CGIM'99 Session Proposal
#80, 4500 - 16 Ave. NW
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
T3B 0M6
by April 30th, 1999. Sessions will be peer reviewed by the IPC and the
TCCGI and accepted/rejected either in whole or in part based on the quality
and relevancy of the papers.
