ACM Multimedia 2001

Author's Kit

Camera-ready paper is due on Monday July 16, 2001


Electronic version is due on Monday September 3rd, 2001

The final version of your paper should be prepared in two versions: a camera-ready paper version for the printed proceedings and an electronic version for the electronic proceedings.


Prepare your camera ready paper

Based on the category of your paper, your final version for printed proceedings is limited to the following number of pages:

  • Regular paper: 10 
  • Poster paper: 3 
  • Demo summary: 2 
  • Panel summary: 3 
  • Doctoral symposium abstract: 2 
  • Workshop paper: 4 
The camera ready paper should be printed on a high-resolution output device on 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Authors from outside the United States may use A4 paper instead; in that case, the ACM guidelines may be modified so that the size of the printed area conforms to the final format, even if the margins differ. Please follow carefully the instructions in the following link when preparing your paper. Note that it is especially important that you leave sufficient space at the bottom of the first (left) column on the first page for ACM to fill in the copyright information.

Very important: the ACM copyright form must be signed and returned with your paper. We have been informed that ACM will not publish any paper that is not accompanied by a signed copyright form. Note that we need the original signed copyright form and a fax version is not acceptable. In those cases where a paper has more than one author the signature of the first-named author is sufficient. You can find information about the ACM Copyright policy and download the ACM copyright form from the following links:

Please remember to fill out the information about the title of the work and the authors at the top of copyright form. Send the the signed copyright form together with a hard copy of your contribution to:

The hard copy of the contribution, the signed copyright form and the paper in a postscript format must be received no later than Monday, July 16, 2001.


Prepare your electronic version of paper

After you have submitted the final version for the printed proceedings, you should prepare the electronic version for the electronic proceedings. The due date is September 3rd, 2001.

The electronic proceedings will have the same look and feel as those of MM98 and MM99, MM00 but we will be asking authors to use validated HTML 4.0 (strict) with a CSS2 style sheet which we supply. The instructions explain this process, give an example of a simple markup and show the effect of the style sheet. They also tell you what to submit and where to ftp your file. If you need further help after reading the instructions, contact the electronic proceedings editors Vincent Oria at oria@homer.njit.edu or Roger Price at rprice@cs.uml.edu.


Instructions for

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Dear ACM MM 2001 poster author:

I write this note to provide information on the poster session of ACM MM 2001 conference. Please read the instructions and prepare your presentation accordingly.

The poster session is scheduled for 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2001, in the Ballroom of the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. The concurrent Welcome reception ensures a steady flow of audience throughout the session.

Poster boards will be delivered there from 6:00 to 6:30 pm and the room will be open to you from 6:30-7 pm. You will be provided with a poster board space of size 4 ft x 4 ft (approximately 120 cm by 120 cm) for your poster pages. It is up to you how you would want to place your slides on the board. Be sure to estimate how many sheets you can fit on the board and prepare your presentation accordingly. Note that if you have too many sheets, you will not be able to fit them on the board.

There will be a numbered board that is assigned to your presentation. We will use the same numbers as listed on the program at http://www1.acm.org/sigs/sigmm/MM2001/

Please check at the Conference Registration Desk for last minute instructions.

When the session is over, at 11 pm, please remove your posters from the board, which will be then taken away.

If you need any other information, please see the conference website, or send an e-mail to golshani@asu.edu.

Best wishes! Looking forward to seeing you at the conference.

Forouzan Golshani
