AUUG96 - CALL FOR PAPERS

AUUG96 & Asia-Pacific World Wide Web 2nd Joint Conference
September 18-20, 1996
World Congress Centre, Melbourne, Australia

The program committee invites proposals for papers and tutorials relating to:

• Technical aspects of Unix and Open Systems
• Networking, Internet and the World Wide Web
• Business Experience and Case Studies

Presentations may be formatted as tutorials, technical papers, or management studies. Technical papers are designed for those who need in-depth knowledge, whereas management studies present case studies of real-life experiences in the conference's fields of interest. All presentations must be accompanied by a written paper for the conference proceedings.

Speakers may select one of several presentation formats:

• Technical presentation: a 40 minute talk, with 5 minutes for questions;
• Management presentation: a 30-35 minute talk, with 10-15 minutes for questions (total 45 minutes);
• Work In Progress (WIP): a 20 minute talk providing a snapshot of an interesting project, where the project is not developed sufficiently to allow a full-length presentation;
• Poster sessions: the talk's paper is posted to a board. The speaker remains in the vicinity of that board, available to discuss its content with interested attendees.

Tutorials, which may be of either a technical or management orientation, provide a more thorough presentation, of either a half-day or full-day duration.

Representing the largest Unix and Open Systems event in Australia (with over 800 attendees at the 1995 conference), this conference offers an unparalleled opportunity to present your ideas and experiences to an audience with a major influence on the direction of computing in Australia.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Those submitting tutorial proposals should submit an outline of the tutorial and a brief biography, and clearly indicate whether the tutorial is of half-day or full-day duration.

SPEAKER INCENTIVES

Tutorial presenters may select 25% of the profit of their session OR complimentary conference registration.
