Web Panels
Making its debut at the SIGGRAPH 2005 Web Program, we present Web Panels in
collaboration with the Panels program,
which will feature a few panels primarily targeted at the web audience.
Web Panels topics will be published by the Panels Program along with all other panel topics.
If you wish to learn more or submit a proposal to Web Panels please refer to the
Panels program. Submissions to Web Panels
must be submitted through the submission process for the Panels program.
Web Forums
Forums are very popular at academic conferences as they promote audience interaction.
The idea is really simple: pick a topic (usually one that generates debate), make a short
presentation that raises questions, and throw the room open for discussion. Forums are fun,
interactive, and above all, they promote creative resolution of problems.
We encourage submission of topics that are relevant and within the grasp of the audience.
If you have a strong opinion and want to take the next step toward validating it,
a forum is the right place for you. Bring in your opinion and battle it out with your
peers and critics.
The possibilities are endless!
Forum Length
45 - 60 minutes
Tracks
For SIGGRAPH 2005, the Web Program is divided into three tracks: Technical, Application, and Paradigm.
Tracks add structure and clarity to the program, and simplify the submission process in
general. For those of you familiar with the predecessors of the Web program (Web Graphics Programs:
2002, 2003,
2004),
you'll notice that the presentation topics are essentially similar to previous years with one major distinction:
a new Technical track to accommodate more comprehensive findings and developments in the internet world.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the tracks and submission guidelines before completing your
abstract or paper. In fact, we strongly recommend this, as it will give you a clearer understanding of the
most appropriate fit for your contribution and will aid the process of completing your submission effectively.
Technical
The Technical track is the heart of the Web Program. It illuminates the evolving blueprint of the internet.
This track requires that the author(s) submit an entire paper for consideration.
Simply put, the Technical track is envisioned to become the primary component of the program, much
like the Papers program
is considered by most as the primary component of the SIGGRAPH conference. The work presented
in this track is technically sound and on the cutting edge of internet technology and innovation.
This track is the Web program's answer to the academic and scientific web community. It sets the bar
for internet-related research.

Application
Where the Technical track is the heart of the program, the Application track serves as its limbs.
Theory without implementation is about as useless as gasoline without an automobile.
If you've attended any of the previous Web Graphics programs, then you probably know what
this track is about. The Web Graphics program was primarily application-based in previous years.
Applications are essentially unique, masterful, and innovative uses of web technologies. A Flash engine
to render 3D graphics. A java applet that provides effective visual and interactive representations of
various color models. A web site that provides the user with an experience that is more effective than
current usability standards provide. A rich internet application that emulates an access grid on desktop
computers. These are all great examples of the content suitable for this track.

Paradigm
Last, but definitely not the least, the brain of the program: the Paradigm track.
As Aristotle best put it, "Law is order, and good law is good order."
This track is standards-centric. An attendee can expect to get practical working knowledge
of current web standards, as well as learn about standards one may expect in the future.
This track also addresses concepts such as usability, heuristics, design methodologies,
design trends, and a collection of topics that shape the working internet today.
Paradigm allows the web technologist to learn about the landscape of the internet of
today and glimpse its future.
