The deadline for the receipt of your camera-ready copy by Stephen is:
29 May 1998
This is a firm deadline; the production schedule for this publication is very tight. We have already removed all
the margins from the production schedule. So please make sure your papers arrive in time !! To expedite the efficient
delivery of your paper, please use Federal Express or a similar overnight courier service if at all possible.
Once the paper has been submitted for delivery to the courier service, please e-mail the name of the courier service,
the waybill number and expected date of delivery to Stephen Spencer (spencer@cgrg.ohio-state.edu).

Each paper accepted to HWWS '98 must be accompanied by a signed ACM copyright form. The copyright form should
be filled out and signed by one author, preferably the primary author. Papers without accompanying and appropriately
completed copyright forms will not be printed.
All material used by the author in their accepted paper must have proper copyright clearance. If you are unsure
of the copyright status of particular images used in your paper, please contact the ACM SIGGRAPH Director for Publications.
Here is the ACM Copyright Form.

A "US Letter" page size, 8.5 in (21.59 cm) by 11.0 in (27.94 cm), is used, with top, left, and right
margins of 0.75in (1.905cm), and a bottom margin of 1.0 in (2.54 cm). The body of the paper is set in a two-column
style, with each column measuring 3.33 in (8.46 cm) with a 0.33 in (0.84 cm) column gutter between the columns.
If your standard paper size is A4, please format your document to the above margin specifications, making certain
the columns are no longer than 9.25 in (23.495 cm) and trim the pages to 8.5 by 11.0 inches.
Your paper should have a 1.5 in (3.81 cm) space left blank at the bottom of the left column on the first page of
the paper for the ACM copyright statement.
The maximum paper length is ten 8.5 inch (21.59 cm) by 11.0 inch (27.94 cm) pages, including all figures, images
and references. However, this page count does not include any supplemental color images in the color plate section.
The HWWS'98 papers committee may have allowed you to submit a paper with a page count different than this. If you
feel you need more room than has been allotted to you, please obtain permission from the HWWS'98 papers committee
by sending email to knittel@hpl.hp.com or pfister@merl.com.
DO NOT USE PAGE NUMBERS ON THE PAPER -- the papers will be collected as part of the conference or workshop proceedings
and will be numbered
at press time. It is important that the author write their name and the ordering -- "Smith, page 1 of 8"
for example -- on the reverse of each page of the camera-ready copy sent in. This will help ensure the proper pagination
and printing of the paper.
The title of the paper should be formatted with initial caps: for example, "Weaving Threads For The Web".
Section headings should be numbered for ease of internal referencing.
Body text should be set in a serif typeface such as Times, and should be 9-point text on 10-point leading (space
between lines). Heading text should be set in a sans serif typeface such as Helvetica, with the following specifications:
Title and author information should be centered above the two columns on the first page of the document, with brief
author and affiliation information. Detailed information about the author(s) -- postal addresses, e-mail addresses,
telephone numbers, etc. -- should be placed at the bottom of the left-hand column of the first page of the paper.

The paper should have a short -- one to several paragraphs -- abstract as the first section of the paper, which may be excerpted for reference or promotional purposes.
A list of relevant descriptors from the ACM Computing Classification System should be included at the conclusion of the paper's abstract.

All images and figures should be affixed to the camera-ready copy if they are not printed as part of the paper
itself. Whenever possible, use a waxer or glue stick to affix images and figures. Use of rubber cement, two-sided
tape or one-sided tape is strongly discouraged.
It is very important that you provide us with the highest possible quality illustrations. This will ensure that
the illustrations will reproduce as well as possible. Photographic prints are highly recommended, especially for
color illustrations (see below). Prints from dye-sublimation are also recommended, but photographic prints are
preferred over dye-sublimation prints. Color PostScript prints, thermal wax prints, and ink-jet prints are other
accepted formats, though these will suffer image degradation in the production process, and are not recommended.
Similarly, low-resolution images and figures (below 300 dpi) will not reproduce well, and are not recommended.
Polaroid prints are not recommended. Glossy prints are recommended over matte-finish prints.
The captions for all illustrations should be printed on a black and white laser printer. Captions printed on a
dye-sublimation device with images or figures will degrade significantly in the production process.

Citations in the body of the paper should be bracketed numbers ("[1]") and all references gathered in a section at the end of document titled "References". The references should be alphabetized by the surname of the primary author, and titles of documents should be formatted with initial caps; for example, "Weaving Threads For The Web."

Those who use TeX or LaTeX to prepare their documents may feel free to use the standard TeX typefaces for their
camera-ready copy.
Authors who use TeX or LaTeX to prepare their documents may wish to use the "siggraph" LaTeX class or
the "acmconf.sty" (for LaTeX 2.09). Bibliographies should be formatted with the "plain" BibTeX
bibliography style. These files are available to download through the SIGGRAPH
Web site.

The camera-ready copy of your paper may only contain black and white or grayscale material. If you want color
images included in the proceedings, please inform the papers committee at the address above as soon as possible.
The papers committee may assign either a 1/2 page or a full page in the color section to your paper.
Color images are gathered in a separate color plate section at the back of the proceedings. If you have been allocated
a one-half page space, please make sure your image is no larger than 4.5 inches (11.43 cm) tall by 7.0 inches (17.78
cm) wide. If you have been allocated a full page space, please make sure your image is no larger than 9.5 inches
(24.13 cm) by 7.0 inches (17.78 cm) wide.
If you require more space in the color section, please contact Stephen Spencer and the papers committee. If you
are not planning to use color images with your paper, please again inform Stephen Spencer and the papers committee
as early as possible, so that your space can be allocated to other papers.

For the front and back covers of the Workshop on Graphics Hardware proceedings we are soliciting color pictures
related to your paper. Please submit the images you would like to see on the cover in any commonly used digital
format. Send email to knittel@hpl.hp.com to receive instructions about the ftp site for your submission.
The deadline is May 29, 1998.
This is a hard deadline due to the tight publication schedule. The final selection of images will be done by the
program co-chairs.

Please contact me immediately with any questions you may have, or problems which may arise in the preparation
of your paper.
I look forward to receiving your camera-ready copy by 29 May 1998.
