INSTRUCTIONS TO SUBMIT PAPERS
=============================


Authors are invited to submit original (unpublished) papers. These may be
research contributions (original and recent developments), or practice and
experience papers (case studies in system development or applications).
Authors must declare that their paper has not been submitted to any other
conference or journal and must be prepared to present their paper at the
conference if it is accepted. Papers must be written in English and
presentation will also be in English. Accepted papers will be published in
the Conference Proceedings, which are a special issue of the international
journal Computer Graphics Forum.

The first page of a paper must include the title, names of the authors and
their affiliations, address, an abstract of 250 words maximum, and a list
of keywords indicating the principal categorisations of the paper. A paper
should not exceed 5000 words in length and should include copies of
illustrations or photographs referenced in the text.

To submit a paper, send five copies of the full paper to the Conference
Secretariat, to arrive not later than 8 January 1993. The paper should be
accompanied by a cover page containing the name, address, telephone, fax
and electronic mail address of the author to whom correspondence should be
addressed. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 12 March
1993 and final, camera-ready copy will be due by 12 April 1993.

An International Jury will select the three best papers presented at the
conference and will award prizes to the authors. The top paper will receive
the Gunter Enderle Award which carries a cash prize of 1000 Swiss Francs.
