       SUBMISSION GUIDE

       NIME 2002 invites contributions in three submission
       categories - papers, performances and demos.

       Details for submitting under each of these categories
       are given below.

       Papers:

       Submissions in the category of short paper will be
       reviewed by the program committee and selected on
       the basis of quality. All papers should be of
       publishable quality and should not exceed 6 pages.
       Only electronic submissions in .pdf format will be
       considered. Additional materials (audio and video)
       are also encouraged and should be published on the
       web with links included in the submission.

       Complete papers should be emailed to:

       "paper templates" section of the website for detailed
       information on paper format). Once the review
       process has been completed, authors will have the
       opportunity to make changes based on reviewers
       comments before submitting their camera-ready copy
       on April 1st 2002.

       Performances:

       We also welcome submissions in the category of
       performance pieces. Successful submissions will be
       included in one of the concerts associated with the
       event.

       To submit a work for performance, please email a
       short (1 page) description of the work including its
       duration, the set-up time and rehearsal time required

       Some time has been set aside in the conference
       program for demonstration of working prototypes of

       applications in this category will be given a space to
       demonstrate their work within these time slots.
