Paper Submission

Papers should contain significant technical content to be accepted. No presentation will be permitted at the conference without the submission and acceptance of a technical paper. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and will also be available on CD. Pending author approval they may be available on the IMR website. The proceedings are printed in black and white.

Papers should be 8-12 pages in length (9 point, two columns) and received by May 15, 2003. Formatting details including templates for Word and LaTeX will be available on the conference web site. Final camera-ready papers not meeting formatting guidelines will not be accepted for publication in the proceedings. Paper submissions will be accepted in Word, PDF and PostScript. Electronic submission only. Papers can be transferred by anonymous ftp to endo.sandia.gov (place in directory pub/incoming/jfsheph/12imr) or can be mailed to ungor@cs.duke.edu.

Files transferred via anonymous ftp should be named as follows, to avoid collisions on the ftp site: names should start with the first authors last name, followed by a hyphen, followed by the last four digits of the author's phone number. Authors should send email to Alper Üngör, ungor@cs.duke.edu with the paper title and file name immediately after placing it on the site.

Questions regarding paper submission should be addressed to Alper Üngör, John Steinbrenner or Paul Chew, Technical Papers Co-Chairs.
