How to Contribute
The Organizing Committee
invites proposals for minisymposia in areas related to the conference
themes. A minisymposium consists of four related talks of 30 minutes
each (25 minutes for presentation plus 5 minutes for questions and
answers). Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a
proposal consisting of a title, a description (not exceeding 100
words) and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations. Each
minisymposium speaker should submit a 75-word abstract in LaTeX
format to [email protected].
To obtain a minisymposium proposal form, please complete and return
the reply form, or e-mail your request to [email protected].
The form is also available on the World Wide Web at www.siam.org/meetings/miniform.htm.
Contributions in traditional lecture, poster, or focus
session format are invited in all areas of geometric design
consistent with the conference themes.
-
Standard Lecture Session
Each contributor must submit a 75-word abstract in LaTeX
format to [email protected].
A lecture consists of a 15-minute presentation, with an additional 5
minutes for questions and answers.
-
Focus Session
Those who wish to present a lecture in a focus session
should submit a one-page extended abstract and a 75-word abstract.
Both versions should be sent in
LaTeX format to [email protected].
If accepted, the short abstract will appear in the final program;
the extended abstract will go to the session moderator. Each focus
session will consist of closely related presentations and will be
conducted by a session moderator who has read the extended abstracts
in advance and will present an introductory survey of the papers
containing the necessary background material. Each contributor will
have approximately 10 minutes to present the salient points of
his/her paper. A discussion, led by the session moderator, will
follow the presentations. Papers that do not fit into focus sessions
will be scheduled for standard lecture or poster format.
-
Poster Session
A poster presentation consists of the use of visual
aids, such as 8.5" x 11" sheets for mounting on a 4' x 6'
poster board and will be presented in an informal setting that allows
presenters to discuss their research with individual attendees. A
poster board will be available at the conference for each poster
presenter. Each contributor must submit a 75-word abstract in LaTeX
format to [email protected].
Abstract submissions in either of the above-mentioned
formats must include a title, author(s) names and affiliations,
postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. For co-authored
papers, the submitting author should identify the presenter.
Contributors should indicate which format they prefer.
The Organizing Committee reserves the right to
limit the number of presentations an individual speaker may present
in contributed sessions or minisymposia.
Electronic Submission
Abstract submissions must be sent electronically to [email protected]
using the LaTeX macros available at www.siam.org/tex/confs/conftex.htm.
If you do not have access to the Web, e-mail your request to [email protected].
The LaTeX macro will be sent to you via e-mail.
