Instruction

Poster Session

Poster presenters are provided with a poster board which size is 1m wide by 2m high. Your poster is not allowed to exceed this size. Double-stick tape is also provided on site.

Please note that the first day's presenter can put your poster up from AFTERNOON in the Meeting Room. The second and the third day's presenter can put it up from MORNING at the Theater Foyer. After closing of your session, please remove your poster.

In the poster session, you are requested to stay in front of your poster at least during core time. The core time is displayed on your poster board. Basically, posters having odd numbers (see Program, It's NOT your paper ID) are for the first half of the session and posters having even numbers are for the second half of the session.

DSS presenters don't have core time. You are requested to keep your presentation during the whole session time.

All of poster and DSS presenters are requested to speak in one minute in the "Teaser Session" of your poster session's day. The instructions will be announced in another mail.

Submissions

Demo Submission

A 1-2 page camera-ready description of the demonstration is required. Proposals for demonstrations must be submitted electronically by August 17, 2007. Please e-mail your demo description(s) in PDF format to the demo chair, with title, author list, and contact person information. The format template is the same as for the paper guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). If you have additional material (video etc.) that can help your demonstration understood, contact the demo chair. Submitted demo proposals are reviewed by reviewers assigned by the organizing committee. Please note that the accepted description will be sent to the publisher.

Description of accepted demonstrations will be included in the conference CD-ROM. Additional materials are NOT included in the CD-ROM, but the authors can include the URL that indicates the location of the materials.

The default size of a demo booth will be approximately 2m (width) by 1.5m (depth), but this size might be changed depending on the number of accepted demonstrations. The maximum electric power consumption is approximately 1kW (100V, 10A, 60Hz). If the authors require larger space or larger electric power, please contact the demo chair.

If there are any questions, please contact the demo chair. Demo chair: Yasuyuki Yanagida (yanagida@ccmfs.meijo-u.ac.jp)

Submission

The conference submission website is https://precisionconference.com/~icmi/. Use this for all conference submissions. First initiate a new submission in order to submit the abstract (by May 25), then use that submission number to later submit the full materials (by June 3 (23:59 JST)).

The reviewing will be double blind, so submissions should be anonymous: do not include the authors' names or affiliations in the paper or any clearly identifiable information. It is appropriate to cite past work of the authors if these citations are treated like any other (e.g., "Smith [5] approached this problem by....") - omit references only if it would be obviously identifying the authors. [Note: if a non-anonymous paper has already been submitted, please re-submit with the identifying information removed.]

Abstract Submission

An abstract for each paper (regular or short) must be submitted by May 25, 2007 - these are not reviewed directly, but used to make the reviewing process more efficient once the full submissions are received. Use the conference submission website.

Paper Submission

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format by June 3, 2007 (23:59 JST), via the conference submission website.

If there are any problems with the submission website, please contact Kazuya Takeda(kazuya.takeda@nagoya-u.jp).

Submissions must conform to ACM publication format described at the web site: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. There are two different paper submission categories: regular paper and short paper. The page limit is 8 pages for regular papers and 4 pages for short papers. The results described in the submission must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Papers will be carefully peer reviewed by the program committee. There will be a mixture of oral presentations and poster presentations at the conference. Both are considered as having equal status in the conference and in the proceedings - posters are not considered as "second class" acceptances. The decision of a poster or an oral presentation will be made by the program committee.

Student travel support

Student travel support is expected from NSF to support US Resident students. Awards will be made approximately one the week after acceptance decisions are distributed. Interested students should email trevor@csail.mit.edu with 'ICMI 2007 Student Travel Request' in the header, and include institution, year and program of study, advisor, title of submission to ICMI 2007 (if any), and the acceptance status of their paper after they are notified of the review result.
