The mixed submission process is a blend of electronic and physical submission.
We designed it to address the desire of many authors to submit physical media,
such as DVDs or videotapes, along with their electronic documents.
The mixed submission process can only accommodate documents in PDF format.
If your document cannot be formatted appropriately, you should use the physical
submission process.
You must complete the online Papers Submission Form
by Wednesday, 26 January 2005, 11:59 pm Pacific time and upload your paper so it is received
before that deadline. The deadline will be strictly enforced: papers that are not completely
uploaded before the deadline will be rejected without review, as will any papers for which an
accurate Papers Submission Form has not been completed.
Use this checklist to ensure that your submission is complete and that it meets all applicable requirements:
1. Create an online SIGGRAPH 2005 Papers Submission Form as soon as you decide that you
might be submitting a paper. (You can change your mind later.) When you create this form,
your entry will be assigned a submission ID number that will be used to identify your submission
throughout the review process. Make a record of this number. There will be some fields in this form
that you will not be able to complete at this time. These fields can be completed later.
2. Prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the paper,
including the submission ID number in some prominent place (for example, in the title,
as in "Rendering Hair (Online ID 402)," or in a running header). Be sure to follow the instructions
for preparing PDF documents in the
ACM SIGGRAPH paper
preparation guidelines to ensure that your paper will be readable by all reviewers.
Include an abstract of approximately 200 words.
Select a primary topic area and one or more secondary topic areas that best describe your paper.
Remove any information from your submission (including your paper and supplemental material)
that unnecessarily identifies you or any of the other authors, or any of your institutions or
places of work. You must reference all relevant work completely, however, including your own and
that of the other authors. In the paper, refer to your own published or otherwise widely known work,
and to that of the other authors, in the third person (for example: his work, her work, their work).
Reference as "anonymous" only work that you or the other authors have submitted for publication, but
that has not yet been published.
Do not include URLs referring to web sites that contain vital material for your submission.
Such material won't be considered, as it undermines the anonymity of the reviewing process.
3. After your paper is complete, return to this web site and complete the
SIGGRAPH 2005 Papers Submission Form.
The title, abstract, and topic areas that you include on this form must exactly match those of the paper
that you submit. You must also declare the length, in final formatted pages, of your paper as it will
appear (if it is accepted) in the special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics.
Since your submitted paper must be in final format, the declared page length must be the number of
pages in the submitted paper. The number of pages may be either even or odd.
4. Use the electronic submission system to upload a PDF version of your paper by Wednesday,
26 January 2004, 11:59 pm Pacific time.
5. VIDEO: The physical part of your submission may include a video using one of the following media
and formats: NTSC VHS videotape, DVD-VIDEO, QuickTime MPEG-4, or DivX Version 5. Video files must be
submitted on a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Videos should be less than five minutes in length.
Six copies of each tape, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM are required. Each tape, CD-ROM,
or DVD-ROM must be labeled with only the paper title and submission ID number, and the write-enable
features of all submitted media should be disabled. For QuickTime MPEG-4 and DivX Version 5 videos,
we recommend that you choose
a reasonable frame size and frame rate: full-frame video may not play back
at 30 fps on many current laptops.

6. IMAGES: The physical part of your submission may also contain still images in
printed form or on electronic media. For electronic images, TIFF, JPG, or PNG formats
are required.
7. Send all your supplemental material to:
Markus Gross
SIGGRAPH 2005 Papers Chair
c/o Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories
201 Broadway, 8th floor
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 USA
All of your supplemental materials must be received at this address by Wednesday,
26 January 2005, 5 pm Pacific time or they will not be considered for SIGGRAPH 2005.
Faxed materials are not acceptable.
Only one copy of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is needed for materials to be made available only
to the members of the Papers Committee; its contents should not be anonymized. If you wish to
have your supplemental materials distributed to all reviewers, then six copies of the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM are needed, and their contents should be anonymized.
8. Use the English Review Service
to help with the text of your submission.
9. If your submission is accepted for presentation at SIGGRAPH 2005, you will be asked to provide a
signed ACM Copyright Form,
which is required by ACM before your paper can be published. The form must be downloaded, printed, completed,
signed, and faxed to the ACM SIGGRAPH Director for Publications.
10. If your submission is accepted, an Acceptance Agreement will be produced from
the Permissions section of your online submission form. You must print that agreement,
sign it, and fax it or send it via postal or courier service before SIGGRAPH 2005. If we
do not receive your completed, signed Acceptance Agreement, your work cannot be presented at
SIGGRAPH 2005.
The acceptance agreement is a legal document. It explains the uses SIGGRAPH makes of presented
material and requires you to acknowledge that you have permission to use this material.
This may involve seeking clearance from your employer or from others who have loaned you material,
such as videotapes and slides. The agreement helps prevent situations whereby SIGGRAPH 2005 presentations
include material without permission that might lead to complaints or even legal action. In addition, this
agreement asks if ACM SIGGRAPH may use your materials for conference and organization promotional material
in exchange for full author/artist credit information (which you may decline).
In addition, authors must obtain signed SIGGRAPH 2005 Acceptance Agreements from
ALL presenters (signature of parent or legal guardian is also required if contributor
is under age 18). Presenters who have not submitted signed forms will not be allowed to present.
If you submit any supplemental materials, including videos, with the final version of your
accepted paper, you will be asked to also provide a signed
ACM Copyright Form
Addendum. This form must also be downloaded, printed, completed, signed, and faxed to the ACM SIGGRAPH
Director for Publications.
Customs
Submitters located outside of the United States should note that
customs delays of up to two weeks can occur. Customs labels should bear
the words: "Educational material with no commercial value." SIGGRAPH 2005 will not
pay any customs fees, duties, or tariffs incurred by your submission. Submissions delayed past
the submission deadline will not be accepted for review.
Return of Submitted Materials
Materials submitted to SIGGRAPH 2005 cannot be returned to the authors, unless they arrive after the deadline (see above).
