INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS OF REGULAR PAPERS
Submit original (not published or submitted elsewhere) papers of 3000-5000
words. Include the title of the paper, the name and affiliation of each
author, a 150-word abstract, and up to 8 keywords. Include also the name,
address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the author
responsible for correspondence of the paper.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS OF INDUSTRIAL ABSTRACTS
The objective of industrial abstracts is to report on-going work, describe
practical experiences, introduce new ideas to provoke further validation, or
state positions on controversial issues. Authors will have a 10-minute
presentation and a 5-minute discussion at the conference. Accepted
abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings. Submit a 3-page
abstract, including the title, authors' names, affiliations, addresses,
telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.
INFORMATION FOR WORKSHOP ORGANISERS
A major feature of COMPSAC 2002 will be half- and full-day participative
workshops. These workshops will enable leading-edge issues to be
explored in depth. Every participant will be expected to submit either a
short position paper or a list of "burning issues". Organisers should submit
workshop proposals, including the title, workshop rationale, goals, how
participants will be solicited and position papers handled, workshop
activities, expected workshop output, plans for publication, organiser's
contact information, and past experience of operating workshops.
INFORMATION FOR PANEL ORGANISERS
Panel sessions on important topics will be held in parallel with the paper
sessions. Organisers should submit panel proposals, including the title, a
150-word scope statement, proposed chair and participants, their
affiliations, and the organiser's contact details.
