Submission Guidelines

Technical Papers and Synopses

Technical papers describe previously unpublished research results or empirical evaluations of current systems. Synopses are summaries of interesting new problems or approaches, or of standards or development efforts in progress. Technical papers are limited to 5000 words; synopses are limited to 3000 words. The Program Committee will judge submitted papers on relevance, significance, originality, clarity, and technical merit. We encourage authors to submit any technically sound contributions of interest. Please do not submit product marketing material or material that is previously published or under review elsewhere.

Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings distributed to participants and made available on the Web. Authors of accepted papers will present their work in 15-minute or 25-minute talks at the workshop. Accepted technical papers with significant research contributions are also eligible for journal publication, as in previous years. For the 2001 workshop, 9 of 21 accepted technical papers were published in Elsevier's Computer Communications. We plan a similar arrangement for the 2002 workshop.

Please submit technical papers and synopses in PDF format through the submission form on the conference Website.

Proposals for Panels

WCW panels bring together researchers from industry and academia. These panels are an important element of WCW. Please send panel proposals in plain text by e-mail to the Program Chair (chase@cs.duke.edu).
