Here are the guidelines and pertinent information for submission of your paper(s) for the CVE 2000 proceedings.

Please note: It is of particular importance that you leave sufficient space in the lower left corner of the first column on the first page for ACM to fill in the copyright information. There is a 10 page maximum on your paper. The final copy should be in black and white with greyscale images.

Please submit camera-ready copy (produced on a high-resolution output device) of your manuscript on 8 1/2" x 11" paper following the proceedings format appended below. Proceedings templates to create camera-ready copy are available in Word, WordPerfect, FrameMaker and LaTex. These templates are located at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

In addition, you must submit an electronic version of your paper for inclusion into the ACM Digital Library. Electronic submissions should be in PostScript. Please do not put page numbers on your paper. Send the electronic copy or your paper to Elizabeth Churchill churchill@pal.xerox.com. The naming convention for files is: first-authorCVE2000.doc, e.g. StaadtCVE2000.doc. Put "CVE2000 Paper Submission" in the header of your email. If you do not get an acknowledgement from within a week of sending, then please email the paper again.

The attached ACM copyright form must be printed out, signed and returned with your paper. This form can be located at http://www.acm.org/pubs/copyright_form.html. I caution you that ACM will not publish any paper that is not accompanied by a signed copyright form. In those cases where there is more than one author per paper, the first-named (assumed senior) author only must sign.
