The SIGGRAPH Papers program has long been the finest international forum for disseminating ground-breaking, provocative, and important new work in computer graphics and interactive techniques. We invite submission of high-quality papers that will set the standard in the field and stimulate future trends in computer graphics. Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may work be submitted to any other conference or journal during the SIGGRAPH 2002 Papers review period.   For SIGGRAPH 2002, we are especially interested in the work of researchers in interactive techniques. The selection committee will include experts in human-computer interaction in anticipation of broader participation by researchers in this area.   We also, in the interest of presenting provocative and trend-setting new work, encourage submissions from new areas that overlap with computer graphics, such as computer vision, cognitive and behavioral modeling, computer games, robotics, audio, haptics, medicine, biology, visualization, and novel applications of graphics. This list is not exhaustive. As always, excellence of the ideas will be the predominant acceptance criterion. Researchers in these areas who are interested in submitting their work to SIGGRAPH 2002 should consider sending a brief description of their work to the Papers Advisory Board (see below) well before the submission deadline.   Papers Advisory Board An advisory board consisting of Jessica Hodgins, Marc Levoy, and David Salesin will work with the chair throughout the submission cycle. If you plan to submit a paper, please subscribe to our mailing list. Send email to majordomo@siggraph.org with this text in the body of the message: subscribe papers-info-s2002. We will be send updated information and deadline reminders to this mailing list. You can also contact us anytime via the SIGGRAPH 2002 email contact form with your questions and concerns.   This year's submission and review process is slightly more complex than in prior years, since papers presented at SIGGRAPH 2002 will be published as a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics and will therefore go through a full journal refereeing process.   JOHN F.
