Paper Submission and Publication: Questions & Answers

(1) When are completed papers for the conference due?

YOU CAN SUBMIT AT ANY TIME, BUT THE DUE DATE IS TWO MONTHS BEFORE

THE CONFERENCE, TO ALLOW FOR EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AND START THE

EDITORIAL AND SELECTION PROCESS. IF A FULL PAPER IS NOT AVAILABLE, A

SHORT SUMMARY WILL BE ACCEPTED, ALTHOUGH THIS MAY AFFECT THE

DECISION TO PUBLISH.

(2) To whom do we submit them to?

TO ME, PREFERABLY AS AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT. Please (attach/submit)

your article as a Microsoft Word 6.0 or later document, as I am

using Microsoft Word 2001 as my main word processor. You can also

submit your chapter on a Zip disk. If this is not possible, floppy

disks are accepted, but it is suggested that a second floppy with a

backup copy of your chapter be employed.

PS: Remember to follow the style sheet: Do it now, since you will do

it anyway!

(3) Is it likely that the chairs will provide feedback?

YES, AND THEY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE SELECTION PROCESS.

(4) What is the estimated waiting period from the end of conference

to decision to publish?

TWO MONTHS. YOU WILL BE INFORMED BY MAY IF YOUR PAPER WILL BE

PUBLISHED. THE DECISION WILL BE BASED ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR PAPER

AND THE OPINIONS OF TWO READERS. WE ALREADY HAVE PUBLISHERS

COMMITTED TO PUBLISHING THE BEST PAPERS.
