CVE'98 Submission Guidelines

Poster submissions are invited to present work in progress and postgraduate research topics. Successful posters will be on show for the duration of the workshop.

Panel Sessions

The aim of panels is to stimulate thought and discussion about ideas and issues relevant to collaboration in virtual environments. Ideally panels focus on controversial or emerging issues and bring out a range of viewpoints on the topic through the medium of informed debate. Panel proposals should contain a title, list of all panel members, including affiliation and address, description, format of the panel, and a compilation of the position statements (see below for accepted formats).
