Key Dates for Contributors

This Vector should be mailed with a Call for Papers enclosed, but just in case we fail to make it on time, here are the dates which contributors will need to meet:

  • Abstracts as soon as possible, and definitely by the end of November. Nothing formal is needed, just a quick Email to me [e-mail address omitted] or Phil [e-mail address omitted] to let us know that something is on the way.
  • 31st December. Draft papers received by Programme Committee; we intend to have the last draft paper out into the review process by 15th January, with pressure on the reviewers to get everything back by 31st January.
  • 31st December. Workshop and panel proposals (again an informal Email is all we need) to one of the Programme chairs.
  • 9th February. Programme Committee meets; selected abstracts ready for the printer by 15th Feb to begin work on the Invitation
  • 21st March. Final copy of all papers to the Proceedings editor, who will aim to have this away to the printers by the end of April.

If you have potential material which directly supports the major themes of the workshops, please let us know; there is no need for this to go through the traditional ‘double-blind’ reviewing process (unless you want it to), but we would like to have something sufficiently polished to include in the Proceedings.

For those who have lost the leaflet that was enclosed with Vector 12.1, the major themes will be: Effective use of Nested Arrays; Designing for Windows 95; Communication among Co-operating Systems; Algorithms and other Tools of the Trade. As always, good, relevant papers are always welcome on any topic under the sun — we are budgeting on 24 slots, but this is not an upper limit! More is better, and more variety is better still.
