SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
===============================
ENABLEMENT THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
SAICSIT 2002 Conference
16 - 18 September 2002
===============================
Annual Conference of the South African Institute of Computer Scientists and
Information Technologists
Conference Website: <http://www.petech.ac.za/saicsit2002/>
Following a history of very successful SAICSIT Conferences, we invite you to
take part in the planned 2002 event. 64 papers, from around the world, were
submitted to the highly successful SAICSIT 2001 Conference, of which 26 were
accepted as full research papers after a strict review process. One third of
these papers was in the area of HCI.
SAICSIT 2002, to be held in the Port Elizabeth area, promises to be even better.
The conference venue will be the Boardwalk in Port Elizabeth, on the Eastern
Cape Coast of South Africa. The conference will include research papers,
tutorials, workshops and panel discussions.
We invite submissions in the following categories:
(1) Research Papers in one of the following categories:
- full research papers
- short papers
(2) Tutorials
(3) Workshops
(4) Panel discussions
(5) Postgraduate Research Symposium.
More details on each of these categories are provided below. Papers will be
strictly reviewed by a panel of reviewers. Accepted full papers will be
published in the conference proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will also be
invited to submit their papers for possible publication in the South African
Computing Journal. These papers will undergo a further review cycle.
Language of Conference: English
PAPERS
======
Papers are solicited in ALL areas of Computer Science and Information Systems.
They should take cognisance of the conference theme, Enablement through
Technology, and should be directed at a reasonably general audience. For
examples, see papers accepted for SAICSIT'01 (see the SAICSIT2001 web site
<http://osprey.unisa.ac.za/saicsit2001/>).
Short papers are intended to allow space for preliminary work, or useful
experiences, which are of sufficient interest to publish, but which would not
meet the review criteria of a research paper. Authors of full research papers
considered by the referees not to be appropriate to this conference may be
offered the option of converting their submission to short papers or electronic
submissions.
Papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, validity and
relevance to the audience. Full research papers are limited to 10 pages in final
typeset form, while short papers are limited to 5 pages (A4 size, 10 point Times
New Roman, 2 columns. For guidelines see: <http://www.cs.up.ac.za/sacj/>).
SUBMISSION FORMAT:
All submissions should be made electronically unless special arrangements are
made for paper submission. Please note that submissions in PDF format are
preferred, though WordPerfect, Latex(.ps) and MS Word formats are also
acceptable.
SAICSIT SUBMISSIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO A DOUBLE BLIND REVIEW PROCESS. A
submission consists of TWO SEPARATE documents:
1) A cover sheet for your submission containing full author details. This cover
sheet must contain the following:
1.1 Full title of the paper.
1.2 A 150 word abstract for the paper.
1.3 Names and full contact details (between the submission date and the
conference date) of all the authors / participants, with the lead author clearly
identified. All correspondence concerning the submission will be addressed to
the lead author.
1.4 Category of the submission: Full research paper, short paper, tutorial,
workshop, panel, or postgraduate symposium submission, etc.
1.5 A list of no more than five keywords identifying the main theme of the
submission.
2) Your actual paper, consisting of:
2.1 All of the above, but DO NOT include any author names for this review stage,
and as far as possible remove details which would make it obvious who the
authors are.
2.2 Your actual paper/tutorial/workshop/panel (basic formatting instructions are
provided below).
Submission implies a commitment, should the submission be accepted, to attend
the conference and present the paper or tutorial, or participate in the workshop
or panel discussion.
SUBMIT YOUR PAPER VIA E-MAIL TO: [log in to unmask]
If you are unable to submit your paper electronically, you may send four (4)
printed copies of the paper to:
John Barrow
Department of Computer Science
University of South Africa

Please mark envelopes clearly as SAICSIT 2002 SUBMISSION along with the category
of the submission, eg full research paper, workshop, etc.
DEADLINES
- Submissions due Tuesday 30 April 2002.
- Acceptances/rejections sent out 15 June 2002.
- Final camera-ready version due 1 July 2002.
TUTORIALS
=========
SAICSIT 2002 plans to host a tutorial programme. Proposals for high-quality
tutorials in all areas of computer science and information systems from academic
research to industrial applications are solicited. Tutorial levels may be
introductory, intermediate, and advanced. Novel topics and topics of broad
interest are preferred. Guidelines for the submission of tutorial proposals are
available on the conference website or via e-mail from: [log in to unmask]
WORKSHOPS
=========
SAICSIT 2002 will host a number of workshops addressing different areas of
computer science and information systems. Workshops serve as a forum for
exchanging late breaking ideas and theories in an evolutionary stage. They
typically focus on either in depth analysis or broad-ranging approaches to any
area of computer science and information systems. Guidelines for the submission
of workshop proposals are available on the conference website, or via e-mail
from: [log in to unmask] The length of the tutorials/workshops should
preferably be about 3 hours, but alternative arrangements may be possible
depending on the interest shown.
PANELS
======
Panel sessions addressing important and timely topics in computer science and
information systems will be included in the main conference. They should present
interesting and divergent views with solid practical and/or theoretical backing.
A good panel session can be the highlight of the official programme for many
attendees. Guidelines for the submission of panel proposals are available on the
conference website, or via e-mail from: [log in to unmask]
POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
===============================
The Postgraduate Research Symposium is specifically aimed at attracting
participation from masters and doctoral students. Submissions for the
Postgraduate Research Symposium must be provided electronically, preferabbly as
an Adobe Acrobat (pdf) document to [log in to unmask] by 7 May 2002. Please
consult the Conference Website for further details.
