- CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- SPECIAL ISSUE OF
- ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING: ORIGINATION DISSEMINATION AND DESIGN
- ON
- ACTIVE DOCUMENTS
-
-
- "Electronic Publishing: Origination, Dissemination and Design"
- ("EP-odd") is pleased to announce a special issue on the topic of
- Active Documents, planned to appear in 1993.
-
- The presentation and contents of an active document is dependent on
- computation. An active document can be intended for interactive
- presentation or for paper presentation. A paper-based active document's
- content might be generated by execution of an algorithm when the
- document is assembled. The organization of an interactive active
- document might depend on characteristics of the computer environment in
- which it is displayed. In either case, the key characteristics are that
- the document has been designed by an author with a particular purpose in
- mind and that the document's content and/or structure responds to
- aspects of the surrounding world's state.
-
- We are interested in papers on all aspects of active documents. As a
- very general starting point, some possible topics include system design,
- underlying support issues, evaluation, language issues (especially the
- representation of the activity within the system), and cognitive issues.
-
- As a rough guideline, papers should be in the range of 10 to 20 pages in
- length, although longer and shorter papers are appropriate if dictated
- by the subject matter. All papers will be refereed using the normal
- EP-odd refereeing process. Manuscripts must be submitted in final form
- as the limited time available for reviewing the contributions to the
- special issue will not permit very many passes through the editing
- cycle. Authors will be asked to follow the EP-odd author guidelines,
- (four copies of the manuscript are requested), and they are asked to
- include a copy of the EP-odd copyright release form with their
- submission. Copies of the guidelines and copyright release form may be
- found in each issue of EP-odd or may be obtained by mail from the guest
- editor (address below).
-
- Because space is limited in the special issue, it may not be possible to
- publish all deserving papers. Unless authors request otherwise, such
- deserving papers will be referred to the normal EP-odd editorial process
- and will be considered for publication in a subsequent issue.
-
- This issue will be coordinated by Vincent Quint, member of the editorial
- board of EP-odd. He may be contacted at:

-
- In order to receive maximum consideration, papers should be received by
-
- APRIL 1, 1993
-
- Papers received after this date will be accepted, but because of
- schedule constraints may not be able to appear in the special issue.
