Paper Submission Procedures

Submissions should be made electronically, in PDF format only.

An electronic version should be submitted by April 30, 2001 to our submission page. Papers must be prepared in such a way that ensures they will print anywhere. Thus, you should avoid using special fonts. Please do not include color figures unless it is really necessary.

Paper format

Original unpublished papers of up to 12 pages (single-spaced, 12 points, including figures, tables and references) are invited. Manuscripts must be written in English. The first part of the paper should include a title, an abstract, keywords, and author's information (name, title, affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address). If your paper contains an animation then it is required that you send 4 CD-ROMs or 4 videotapes (in VHS NTSC format) - postal mail address is below.

All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program Committee members and by external reviewers.
