PETS'2001 Paper Submissions

• Expression of interest If you are interested in submitting a paper to the workshop, we request that you register your interest NOW. If you are able, please submit the title of the submission, the name and contact information of the primary author, and a short abstract (not longer than 300 words in plain text format detailing the likely tracking method(s) to be used). This information may be added/amended later if you wish, but in any case, no later than September 1 2001.  Click here for the on-line expression of interest page.  This information will allow us to initially assess the numbers of people interested in contributing to the workshop, and to ensure that we can communicate further details to you effectively.

 

• Paper submission The final paper submission, not longer than eight pages including figures and references, should be submitted in the IEEE format.  The deadline is September 1 2001.  The paper format is IEEE two-column. The author kit which contains detailed instructions about the preparation of the paper is available at ftp://ftp.computer.org/pub/outgoing/cspress/proceedings/. The maximum page length of the final paper is 8 pages.  There should be two versions of the paper.  One version of the paper should not include any information which allows the authors to be identified. A second version of the paper should state the (1) paper title, (2) authors, (2) technical area(s), (3) contact author's name, address, telephone number, fax number, and electronic address.  The paper may be submitted (3 copies without author information, 1 copy with) by surface or express mail to:

Alternatively and preferably, the paper may be submitted electronically in either postscript or Adobe Acrobat format to the ftp server listed below.  The paper should be named firstauthor.ps or firstauthor.pdf.  Amended/updated versions of the paper should be uploaded as firstauthor.2.ps etc.  Please email the workshop chair after uploading your paper.

The paper will be reviewed by the programme committee and notification of acceptance given by September 15 2001.  Final versions of the paper are due by October 1 2001.

 
• Tracking results and additional resources (movies etc) An anonymous FTP facility ftp://ftp.cs.rdg.ac.uk:/pub/vision/PETS2001/ has been established for authors to upload their papers, tracking results, and any additional resources in support of their submissions for review purposes.  Further details of the exact format for submitting tracking results will be announced later.  Submitted papers should refer in the text to supporting movies as "Movie 1", etc. Authors should name the associated movie files that they upload to the FTP site using the convention "nnn-1.ext", etc., where "nnn" identifies the submission number assigned to the paper when an author registers the submission online at the PETS2001 WWW site and "ext" is a standard image or movie file format extension (e.g., jpg, ras, gif, mpg, mpeg, avi, mov).  Uploaded files not adhering to this convention will be deleted. Access the FTP site anonymously in the usual way, e.g.:

 

 
 
 
 
 

 ftp ftp.cs.rdg.ac.uk
 Name: ftp
 Password: <SEND YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AS PASSWORD>
 ftp> binary
 ftp> cd /pub/vision/PETS2001/
 ftp> put <FILENAME>

Note that it is crucial to employ "binary" transfer and that the incoming/ directory is write-only. The FTP site will be closed to incoming transfers on September 1 2001 and the contents will subsequently be made accessible to reviewers via the WWW. Disclaimer: While reviewers are encouraged to view all movie files supporting a submission, there can be no guarantee that they will do so.  After the reviewing process, the FTP site will be re-opened for submission of final camera-ready copies of papers and other supporting files after 15 2001.

Deadline for both paper and on-line submissions: 5pm GMT, September 1, 2001.
