submission form included below.

Please send your complete submission in a single package. 

General guideliness
-------------------

Each paper should include a descriptive title, and abstract of 100-300
words, and keywords. You should discus the problem and context your
paper is addressing. Clear statements of the novelty of your work, how
your work relates to previous work, and the implications of your work
should be included in the introduction. The paper should include a
sufficiently detailed description of the new work to convince the
reviewers that the ideas presented are correct and the work performed
could be duplictaed by a person knowledgable in the field. The
acceptance or rejection decision is based on the content of the paper
as submitted.

The paper must be previously unpublished and every effort will be made
to avoid concurrent publication of papers. Ppaers submitted
concurrently elsewhere will be disqualified. The author should clearly
explain in a cover letter or in the paper's introduction how the
submitted manuscript differs significantly from previous papers that
the author has submitted or published on the same topic. Releasing the
paper as a technical report does not constitute outside publication:
such papers will be considered.

Electronic Submissions
----------------------

Papers may be submitted electronicaly in floppy disks, 45 Mbyte
Sysquest cartridge, or via the Internet. Electronically submitted
papers can use the following data types:

plain ASCII text

troff (UNIX)

Electronic Publication
----------------------

The proceedings of the conference will be published electronically as
well as in hard copy format. It is anticipated thatthe electronic
format will include support for rich mediaand be accesible on both
CD-ROM and electronic networks.

Copyright
---------

The authors and their employers, other than employees of the US
Government, must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer form before
the paper is published. The ACM copyright procedures say in part: It
is policy of ACM to own the copyright on its technoical publications
to protect the interests of ACM, its authors, and their employers, and
at the same time to facilitate the appropriate reuse of this material
by others.

The Review Process
------------------

Judging of papers will be done under a very tight schedule to meet the
time constraints of Multimedia 93. As many of you know, conference
reviewing is, in general, far from perfect. On occasion good papers
may get rejected. However, authors of rejected papers are encouraged
to resubmit the following year. To familiarize yourself with issues
which may affect acceptance of a paper at ACM Multimedia 93, you are
advised to read the article How to Get Your SIGGRAPH Paper rejected,
which may be obtained with the SIGGRAPH 93 papers contributors packet
by sending mail to contrib.multimedia93@siggraph.org, or by anonymous
ftp from siggraph.org (128.248.245.250). The technical committee will
do its best to accept outstanding papers in this exciting and rapidly
developing field.

Selected papers and journal publication
---------------------------------------

Selected papers will be recommended for fast track publication in
major ACM journals, such as the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
and the Multimedia Systems Journal, Springer International.  Special
issues on the conference are being considered.


Happy holidays! see you in Anaheim!
