All accepted papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings.
Presentation format (talk or poster) will be decided by a review
panel, unless the author specifically requests consideration for
only one format.  Electronic and FAX submissions cannot be
accepted. 

David Marr Memorial Prizes for Excellent Student Papers:
--------------------------------------------------------
To encourage even greater student participation in the
Conference, papers that have a student as first author are
eligible to compete for one of four David Marr Memorial Prizes. 
Student-authored papers will be judged by reviewers and the
Program Committee for excellence in research and presentation. 
Each of the four Prizes is accompanied by a $300 honorarium. 
The David Marr Prize is funded by an anonymous donor.

Appearance and length:
----------------------
Papers should be a maximum of six (6) pages long (excluding cover
page, described below), have at least 1 inch margins on all
sides, and use no smaller than 10pt type.  Camera-ready versions
will be required only after authors are notified of acceptance. 

Cover page:

Each copy of the paper must include a cover page, separate from
the body of the paper, that includes (in order): 

1.  Title of paper.
2.  Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail
    addresses (if available) of all authors. 
3.  An abstract of no more than 200 words.
4.  The area and subarea in which the paper should be reviewed.
5.  Preference of presentation format: Talk or poster; talk only;
