Best Paper Award
An award will be given at the conference for
the best paper overall.
What To Submit
Submissions should be full papers, 8-14
single-spaced A4 pages, including figures, tables, and
references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point
(single-spaced) leading.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest,
clarity, relevance, and correctness. We will have more detailed author
guidelines available here soon.
Submissions are due on January 15, 2003.
Accepted papers may be
shepherded through an editorial review process by a member of the
programme committee.
Based on initial feedback from the programme
committee, authors of shepherded papers will submit an editorial
revision of their paper to their programme committee shepherd by February
15, 2003. The shepherd will review the paper and give the author
additional comments. All authors (shepherded or not) will produce a
final camera-ready paper by March 10, 2003, for the conference
Proceedings.
CMSD, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers
must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or
publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that
accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers
accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and
will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions will be held
in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings.
How To Submit
Authors are required to submit full papers by
January 15, 2003.
All submissions to CMSD 2003 must be electronic, in
PDF or MS-Word.
Please use this Web submission form.
Authors will be notified of receipt of submission via e-mail. If
you do not receive notification, contact the Program Chairs at
cmsd-chairs@istlab.dmst.aueb.gr.
Poster Sessions
Do you have interesting work you would like
to share, or a cool idea that is not ready to be published? Poster
sessions are for you! Poster sessions, scheduled during the technical
sessions, introduce new or ongoing work. The CMSD audience provides
valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly interested in
presentations of student work. To submit a poster, please send a
proposal, one page or less, by February 15, 2003, to the poster session
coordinator at cmsd-poster@istlab.dmst.aueb.gr.
Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions
(BoFs) are very informal gatherings organized by attendees interested in
a particular topic. BoFs will be held in the evenings. BoFs may be
scheduled in advance
by contacting the programme committee chairs
cmsd-chairs@istlab.dmst.aueb.gr.
or at the conference.
Registration Materials
Complete programme and registration
information will be available in February 2003 on the conference Web
site. The information will be in both HTML and a printable PDF file.
