For SIGGRAPH 2004,
authors have the option of complete electronic submission of their
papers, including videos and supplemental materials. If you decide
to use electronic submission, you must submit your materials in the required
formats. See the Submission
Procedure Checklist for detailed instructions.
In the past, perceived
miscategorization of papers sometimes led to inappropriate reviews.
Authors are therefore no longer required to categorize their
submissions explicitly as research, system, or process papers.
Authors will continue to
have three days before the Papers Committee meeting to craft a
rebuttal to factual errors in the review of their paper and to
answer specific questions posed by reviewers.
The review process will
classify papers in one of three ways:
1. Rejected.
2. Conditionally accepted
for presentation at SIGGRAPH 2004, possibly pending minor
revisions. These
papers will be ratified for final acceptance by completion of a
full journal review process. The proceedings of SIGGRAPH 2004 will continue to be
published as a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics.
3. Conditionally accepted
for publication in ACM Transactions on Graphics, pending major
revisions. At the
authors' discretion, these papers will complete a full journal
review process before final acceptance for publication in a regular
issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics.
