Papers on all aspects of computer graphics and interactive techniques
are encouraged. However, all papers will be treated by the selection
committee as belonging to one of four categories and will be reviewed
accordingly. The categories are:
Research
Research papers present a new and useful contribution to the state of
the art. They are sufficiently complete so that a competent graduate
student in computer graphics could implement the work. Relevant
previous work is referenced and discussed. The new and useful
contribution is stated explicitly. The new work's advantage over
previous work is clearly demonstrated and its limitations and
drawbacks discussed.
System
System papers present a blend of algorithms, technical requirements,
user requirements, and design that solves a large-scale problem. The
system that is described is both novel and important, and it has been
implemented. The rationale for significant design decisions is
provided, and the system is compared to documented, best-of-breed
systems already in use. The comparison includes discussion of how the
described system differs from and is, in some significant respects,
superior to those systems.
Process
Process papers demonstrate, tersely but with enough detail to reproduce
the work, how some novel and significant result was achieved with a
combination of known techniques and some new ideas. The standards for
Process papers are rigorous. Novelty alone is insufficient; the results
must be impressive enough and general enough to merit publishing work
in which the research contribution is less than in a standard research
paper.
Alternative
Although most papers are expected to be Research, System, or Process
papers, authors should not feel compelled to force an innovative paper
into one of these categories if none is appropriate. However, papers
that are reviewed in the Alternative category may be judged even more
rigorously than those reviewed as Research, System, or Process papers.
Alternative papers reference and discuss relevant previous work and
make a substantial contribution to the computer graphics and
interactive techniques community. The selection committee may, if they
feel it is appropriate, select any submission for presentation in a
special session, or may recommend that a submission, although
inappropriate for a presentation in the Papers program, be considered
for inclusion in some other SIGGRAPH 2003 program.
