Please make sure that your paper satisfies ALL of the following
requirements before being submitted.
The paper must be original material that has not been previously
published in another conference or journal, nor is currently under
review by another conference or journal. Note that you may submit
material presented previously at a workshop without copyrighted
proceedings.
Your submission is limited to twenty two (22) 8.5"x11" double
spaced pages, using 11pt or larger font. The page limit includes
everything: references, title, figures, appendices, abstract, etc.
Submissions not adhering to these submission guidelines may be
outright rejected at the discretion of the program chair.
Please make sure your paper prints satisfactorily on 8.5"x11"
paper: this is especially important for submissions from countries
where A4 paper is standard.
You may choose, but are not required, to list the authors and their
affiliations on your submitted paper. The submitted papers will be
reviewed by the program committee, assisted by outside referees.
If you choose to submit your paper for double-blind review, please
do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the
reviewer unable to study the important prior work. Instead, if you
are extending your own work, you need to either summarize this
prior work in your submission or reference the prior work and
discuss it in the third person, as if you were extending someone
else's research.
Your submission must be formatted for black-and-white printers and
not color printers. This is especially true for plots and graphs in
the paper.
Please make sure that the labels on your graphs are readable without
the aid of a magnifying glass. Typically the default font sizes on
the graph axes in a program like Microsoft Excel are too small.
Please number the pages.
The paper must be submitted in PDF. We cannot accept any other
format, and we must be able to print the document just as we
receive it. We strongly suggest that you use only the four
widely-used printer fonts: Times, Helvetica, Courier and Symbol.
For any additional information regarding your submission, please contact
the Program Chair, Michael D. Smith smith@eecs.harvard.edu
Additional notes:
As in last year's CGO conference, we will allow you (the authors)
to view and respond to the reviews before the program committee
meeting. Please note that you will have only a couple of days to
respond. The tentative plan calls for this response period to take
place during some part of the week of October 27, 2003. Please plan
accordingly.
Notification of acceptance will occur around mid-November 2003.
