Submission Procedure

All contributions submitted to the ENV Visualization Conference must be original, unpublished work and should not exceed 4 pages. Any work that has previously been published or simultaneously been submitted in substantially similar form to any other conference or journal will be rejected. Contributions must be written and presented in English. Please read these instructions carefully, well in advance of the submission deadline.

Electronic Submission Procedure
  1. Prepare your submission as a PDF file. We ask you to follow the standard layout, which is based on Eurographics/IEEE-VGTC Symposium on Visualization publications. This sample PDF file should act as the target format. 
    Please make sure that an image embedded in your paper does not contain transparent pixels (i.e. an alphachannel of a transparent color) because this will lead to problems when the resulting PDF is displayed or printed. 
  2. You should submit your work using the School's submit system. 
  3. Here are some LaTex macros that you can use - again I have edited them from those used for the Eurovis conference - I hope they work, please let me know if you have any problems.

Review Procedure


You will have received an e-mail from me telling you which papers you are to review.  Please download the review form, and complete it for each of the papers you are asked to review.  Please approach the reviewing very seriously: the aim is to help your colleagues improve.  This will inevitably involve criticising their work: do this positively and constructively - although if you feel some parts of the work are very good, then you should say so.  The reviews are done anonymously and so do not tell the writer that you are reviewing (or not reviewing) their paper.

Conference Arrangements

The conference will be held in the Active Learning Laboratory on Friday 12th January 2007.  It will begin at 13.00 and there will be three sessions: 13.00 - 14.00; 14.15 - 15.15; and 15.30 - 16.30.  Each talk will be limited to 10 minutes, to allow 3 minutes for questions and 2 minutes for handover to the next speaker.
