This year's SVG Open conference will be in Tokyo, 4-7 September. The website should be online in the next week, but this is a preliminary call for papers.
This conference is your chance to discuss development experience, products, workflows and strategies involving SVG. The primary conference language is English; translation facilities will be available to encourage English-Japanese communication. We invite all those interested in presenting a paper to start working on your proposals now. Presenters are asked to submit an extended abstract, in English, (approx. 400 to 800 words) by May 1, 2007 in XHTML format. The abstracts will be reviewed by a reviewing commitee and presenters informed about acceptance on or before May 21, 2007. Details on how to submit will be available in a week or so. At that time we hope to have secured enough reviewers to accept proposals in Japanese too. If your abstract is accepted, then you will be asked to submit your full paper by July 1, 2007, according to instructions that will be sent to you. Accepted abstracts, papers and presentations will be published on the conference CD and Web proceedings. Presentation Format Presentations can take one of two formats: - Regular Presentation: Spaced 30 minutes apart on the schedule, with approximately 20 minutes spent on the presentation, 5 minutes for questions, and 5 minutes for people to change rooms. Most presentations will be in this format. - Panel Discussion: Given 60-minute time slots, with approximately 15 minutes spent on introducing the panelists and agenda, 40 minutes of questions and discussion, and 5 minutes for people to change rooms. Panelists should be experts in a common area of specialization of interest to conference attendees. If you would like to organize and lead a panel discussion, then please submit an abstract containing the agenda, and listing your panelists as co-authors.
