Please note: The Paper Abstract Due date is the date to submit an abstract or a brief summarization of your paper. There is no acceptance process for abstracts; they simply indicate your intent to submit a paper. The Paper Due date is the deadline for submission to the referee process. (Note that papers which are submitted as slides must include speaker’s notes.) Once a paper is refereed, accepted, and edited, the final version is due on the Final Camera Ready Copy Due date. This is also the date when the paper must have all updates, corrections or modifications approved and ready for publication in the CMG Proceedings.
CMG ’08 will also feature Poster Sessions - PowerPoint-based sessions presented informally to small groups. Deadlines are as above. Papers will be selected for Poster Sessions by the Program Committee, or authors’ may request a Poster Session.
CMG will also consider papers on topics and technologies that become available later in the year. Such papers will be considered for acceptance on a case-by-case basis by the Program Committee.
