Submission Guidelines

Papers are due May 17th and must be written in English. Any papers not conforming to the instructions on this page will be returned.
Please direct all questions about submissions to: brian@cs.umass .edu

Article Format

All submissions must not exceed 5 pages in 11 point font including figures but not including references. Appendicies are optional, but may be ignored by the reviewer. Papers must have a 0.75-inch margin on all sides, and 1.5 line spacing is suggested. Using two-columns is acceptable. (Camera-ready copies are to include complete results and are expected to be 8-10 pages; see below.)

Dual Submissions

Papers that are submitted to NGC 2002 cannot be previously or subsequently submitted to another workshop, conference, or journal before the reviews of technical program committee are complete and the author has been notified. The TPC reserves the right to reject any such papers. Authors should indicate in their submissions to NGC if it contain material or results from the author's previous work published elsewhere; without a significantly new contribution, the submission to NGC may be rejected.

Electronic Submissions

Submissions will be accepted only in Postscript and PDF formats using the conference's electronic submission page (not up yet). No Microsoft Word Documents will be accepted. Please be sure that fonts used in your document are available on all platforms or included with the document.

Camera-ready Copies

All papers that are accepted by the technical program committee and presented at the workshop in Boston will be published in the workshop proceedings. Authors must submit electronic camera-ready copies of their papers by the August 15, 2002 deadline. They are expected to be completed versions of the extended abstracts submitted for review, and therefore we are allowing eight pages in the proceedings for each paper. This includes all figures, tables, and references. Up to two extra pages may be purchased at a cost of US $300.00 per extra page. Authors will be expected to transfer copyright of their accepted papers.
