SAC'94
SAC'94 is the annual conference of the
ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP). For the past eight years, SACs have
become
a primary forum for applied computing practitioners and
researchers.
Once again, SAC'94 will be held in conjunction with the 1994
ACM
Computer Science Conference in Phoenix. This year, SAC'94 will bring
together five additional ACM
Special Interest Groups: SIGAPL, SIGBIO,
SIGBIT, SIGFORTH and SIGSMALL/PC,
each one of which will have their
own track within SAC'94.
Although papers and proposals for
panels, tutorials and workships which
deal with the conference themes,
STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY TRANFER and
INTELLIGENT BUSINESS APPLICATIONS, are especially encouraged, papers
which
deal with all areas of applied computing are solicited. Of particular
interest are papers in
AI, biomolecular computing, cognitive science,
Computational
Biology-Chemistry-Physics and Geosciences, Reliability,
Electronic
Libraries, Multi-Media, Geographic Information Systems, Image
Processing,
Logic and Symbolic Programming, Office Automation, Software
Reusability
and Intelligent Systems. Proposals for
special sessions and
panels are also encouraged.

IN
BRIEF...
SAC'94 will begin
on Sunday, March 6, 1994, with pre-conference tutorials.
Paper
presentations and panels will begin on Monday, March 7. For
further information contact
addresses listed above.
GUIDELINES
FOR SUBMISSION...
Original
papers dealing with any aspect of computer applications will be
considered
for presentation and publication in the SAC'94 Proceedings.
This
specifically includes these categories of submissions: (1) original and
unpublished
research, (2) reports of innovative applications in the arts,
sciences,
engineering, business, government and industry, and (3) reports
of
successful technology transfer to new problem domains. Each category
of submission will be
reviewed by peer groups appropriate to that
category. Accepted papers in all categories will be
published in the
Conference Proceedings.
Expanded versions of selected papers from all
categories will be
considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly
APPLIED COMPUTING
REVIEW.
In order to facitate
the blind external review process, submission
guidelines must be strictly
adhered to:
> Submit 5
copies of the manuscript to Joe Urban, Conference Co-Chair, at
the address
above.
> Author name(s) and address(es) MUST NOT appear in the body of
the
paper, and self-reference should be in the third person.
> The
body of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words (~20 pages, double-
spaced)
without prior approval.
> A
separate cover sheet should be attached to each copy, containint (1) the
title,
(2) the author(s) and affiliation(s), and (3) the address (including e-
mail
and fax) to which correspondence should be sent.
> Papers relating to
SIGAPL, SIGBIO, SIGBIT, SIGFORTH and SIGSMALL/PC
participation should be
clearly identified as such so that they may be
directed to appropriate
track chairs. Look for further
information in these
SIG newsletters.
> All papers and panel
Proposals must be received by October 1, 1993.
