In order to submit a paper, please immediately fill out the
online form indicating intent to submit. The details on
how to proceed (including ftp sites) will be sent to you upon receipt of the form.
Once you receive these instructions and upload your submission,
you will be sent a confirmation that your paper is properly submitted and a
copyright notice that you must sign and
mail back to the committee.
Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers. Papers
that may be submitted for consideration include those that have not
previously been published in another forum, or are not currently
being
published or reviewed by another journal or conference. All submitted
papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality and
relevance. The program committee reserves the right to accept a
submission as either a paper or poster presentation and the committee
may invite panel participation from submitters of papers accepted or
not. Of particular interest are papers articulating technical innovation
on the foregoing topics. As a guideline, a nominal length for papers is 10 pages single-spaced.
All accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings. In addition, special issues of journals
containing outstanding papers from the conference are planned.
Papers intended for publication on the Conference Server and in the
Paper-Proceedings shall be submitted by ftp in the following format:
- syntactically correct HTML 2.0 (for conference server and for
creation of printed proceedings).
To make the Proceedings more attractive, it is important that
submitted papers follow the Guidelines as closely as possible. The
Editors cannot retype contributions for publication. However, minor
deviations from the guidelines may be accepted from authors who lack
the necessary resources.
- Only full paper submissions will be accepted.
- A cover sheet should accompany every submission. It shall
contain:
- Type of Presentation: Technical Paper or State-of-the-Art
Report
- Assignment to conference topics (select topics only out of
the above list). If you list more than one, the one listed first will
be taken as the primary one. If nothing applies please use OTHER and
an additional keyword.
- The title of the Technical Paper / State of the Art Report
- Name and postal address, phone, fax, email address of the
author(s). In case of co-authors the first listed will be used as the
contact address for future communication. (Note: The order of the
authors may be different in the paper.)
- List of keywords (as on title page)
- Name of tar (.Z) or gzip (.gz) file
The cover sheet is required for the reviewing process only. It should
be HTML only, no formatting other than numbering and paragraphs. This
page will not be published.
A State of the Art Report is a survey of an aspect of web technology, usually presented by a recognized person or team working in that technology.

We are looking for lively discussions between opinionated
experts on possibly controversial topics of current interest.
If you feel you could facilitate or partake in
such a such an event, please mail
Dale Dougherty dale@ora.com,
who is coordinating panels.
Panelists will have a view which they are not afraid to
put forward, while the facilitator will
ensure the involvment of panelists and preferably the
audience.
An important part of the conference is the workshop and tutorial
program, which focuses on timely research challenges and initiatives.
Workshops are round table meetings of leading edge developers.
Tutorials are presentations to bring an audience up to speed
in an established or new area.
If you would like to organize a workshop or present a tutorial,
please
send your proposal by July 3, 1995 to:
www-workshop@w3.org OR
www-tutorial@w3.org
