DL '99 seeks original contributions in the broad field of digital libraries. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:
Submission Requirements - CLOSED, PROGRAM FINALIZED Submissions to DL'99 may be research papers, policy papers, system reports, or may be proposals for posters, demonstrations, panels, tutorials, or workshops. All paper, poster and demonstration submissions should be formatted documents, including appropriate bibliographies. All submissions will be reviewed and must be in English. Details specific to each type of submission are given below. Papers
must be submitted electronically as explained
in the Submission Instructions.
They must be
original contributions (that is, not previously published, and not
currently being considered for publication elsewhere).
Full papers of at most 5,000 words should be submitted
with an abstract of
not more than 150 words on the first page.
Use Times Roman, 11 point, 2 column format just like that required
for all three previous proceedings. (If you desire templates,
see the 2 column LaTeX
style file, or
see those for
ACM supported applications
).
There will be three categories of full papers: Proposals are invited for posters that present work-in-progress, late-breaking results, or simply work that benefits from being presented in the less formal, more interactive manner that the poster format allows. Posters should fit into one of the three categories (research, policy, system) identified for papers. Each proposal should consist of (i) a title, (ii) a one-page extended abstract of no more than 500 words, and (iii) -- on a separate sheet -- the names, affiliations and contact details of the authors. One copy of each proposal should be submitted by April 23, 1999, to the Posters Chair. If your proposal is accepted by the posters committee, camera-ready copy of the one-page extended abstract, for publication in the conference proceedings, will be required by May 8, 1999. The poster that you actually present at conference may include additional text, graphics, screen dumps, or whatever else you can fit on the poster board! Demonstration proposals should be submitted to the Demos Chair. Submissions are invited for formal demonstrations of digital library systems and components. Demonstrations may be live or on video, but must include a written description of the system and its unique characteristics and contributions. At the review stage, video submissions can be either high quality MPEG files or NTSC VHS tapes. Panel proposals should be submitted to the Program Chair. Submissions are invited for panel presentations dealing with significant, controversial and timely issues. Panel sessions will either be 60 or 90 minutes in length, and must be chaired by an experienced moderator. Contact information about the moderator, names and affiliations of panelists, a prose justification, and a detailed topical outline must be supplied. Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Tutorials Chair. A biographical sketch for the presenter(s), including details on relevant prior experience, as well as a description of the target audience and suitable learning objectives, must accompany a detailed topical outline. Both 1/2 and full-day tutorials, covering basic, intermediate, and advanced topics, will be offered. Workshops - SELECTED (please sign up!) Workshop proposals should be submitted to the Workshops Chair. The aim is to bring together a small group of people involved in a specific problem area of digital libraries, to advance the state-of-the-art and to encourage collaboration in that area. Submissions must include contact and biographical information on the organizers including prior experience, expected audience, planned format, objectives, and a detailed topical outline. At least 3 members of the Program Committee will be asked to review each paper submission. Chairs for Posters, Demonstrations, Panels, Tutorials, and Workshops will coordinate review of those submissions. There will be one Program Committee meeting in Virginia to make final selections.
