General guidelines to improve the contents of your
final paper for Euromedia'96
Please take note of these comments before writing your
full paper
- Always state the relation with the topic of the track (i.e.
multi-media, WWW, communications, telematics applications) throughout
your entire paper. The relation can be threefold: your
research is on the topic of the field itself, your research is
using the topic in another field, or your research contributes
to the field itself.
- If your paper describes a method or a technique,
always give examples of the use of that method or technique.
If possible, include (references to) empirical evidence that your
method or technique works the way it is supposed to.
- If your paper describes an application example, always
point out the methods and techniques you used to
get the results that are described in the paper. Add screen-dumps
if possible. Literature references might be sufficient.
- Give an indication of the current stage your work or
research is in. Is it still preliminary? Is there a commercially
available product on the market? Is your work being applied by
others or in other domains?
- Start your paper with a brief abstract. Do not include
material in the abstract that will not be described in the paper.
- Always indicate the novel aspects that will be covered
in the paper with respect to earlier work of yourself and of others.
In what way does your contribution differ from what has been done
before?
- Make sure your introduction is appropriate. An introduction
should give the general background for your research, and references
to general literature on the subject for interested readers.
- Make sure your literature references are correct, and
up-to-date. Others will use your paper to find more information
on the subject your paper is about. Do not only use
your own references, but also refer to work done by others.
- End your paper with conclusions and further research
and recommendations. Your conclusions must be based on the material
that can be found in the paper!
- If you are not a native English speaker, have your English
corrected before you send in your final paper. If the use
of the English language is below standards, your paper might be
rejected.
- Email or Enclose, if possible, a copy of
your abstract, keywords and biography on floppy disk (3 ½
") in ASCII format, for IBM compatible PC and
a copy of your full paper in Word or WordPerfect for Windows,
in TeX or in LaTex. This will be uploaded on our WWW node
for general conference information purposes.
- Make sure your paper is conform with the norms as set out
in the author instructions (2 column, first page, footnotes, etc.
).
