Paper Submission - AusWeb96


A quick overview

This document is to assist those who are preparing full papers for AusWeb96. There is information here on:


Once Your Paper is Refereed and Accepted

This gets rather complicated, so we'll now proceed to bore you to death with all the details of how we want (and need) when you submit your paper. If you are in any doubt at all about submission of your paper please email the editor-in-chief at aw96edit@scu.edu.au. In this section we cover:

Your files on our server

Each paper will be given its own directory on the SCU Web server within the directory stucture for the appropriate theme. Within the directory there will be two or three HTML documents.

Required

Optional

The abstract (index.html) is designed to allow potential readers an opportunity to read an overview of the paper with minimal download times. A reasonable number of words have been allowed in the abstract.

The full paper (paper.html) will be printed in the conference proceedings which will be available at the conference and will also be reproduced on the AusWeb96 CD-ROM which will be published approximately one month after the conference. Paper submission requirements are designed to allow simultaneous production on the Web, on CD-ROM and in print.

The conference presentation (present.html) is designed to provide an overview of the paper that the presenter of the paper can use for the session at AusWeb96. It is designed to replace PowerPoint type presentations. This is an optional item - although we strongly recommend you think about preparing one. The final element is a pointer to what we are calling the "interactive" presentation which might have all of the elements we do not allow including as many Netscape extensions, as many image maps and as many interactive elements as you wish. The "interactive" presentation will reside on your server. In order for the publication of proceedings to be as up to date as possible, the final submission date has been set only one month before the conference date and it would be appreciated if the style and referencing rules were followed to allow for rapid processing.

Using Relative and Absolute References in your paper

Given simultaneous CD-ROM production it is important to make relative references to any materials (such as the abstract) which will be packaged up with the paper and absolute references to any other resources (such as your interactive presentation).

The directory structure is shown below. So if your paper is paper 01 in the Business theme, it will be placed as shown:

Paper01

HTML Style

The IETF DTD HTML 2.0 plus tables from the HTML 3.0 draft is the standard for paper submission. There is to be no use of Netscape or Microsoft extensions to these standards, with one exception and one exception only - The headings to all articles are to be Heading 1, and the non-standard ALIGN=CENTER tage is to be used.

Referencing Techniques

As with AusWeb95papers there will be a two part referencing system - one for print references, one for hyper-references.

References to print material should be in the form set out in the Australian Style Guide.

Hypertext references should include a reference within the hypertext anchor of the style [HREFn]. An anchor might be shown as <A> HREF="http://www.foo.bar/index.html" > The foo.bar home page [HREF1] </A> At the conclusion of the article please list all hypertext references in full, using a definition list. You may add a description of the particular resource. For example:
<DL>
<DT> HREF1
<DD> http://www.foo.bar/index.html This is the home for the full suite 
of bar mix recipes
</DL>

Copyright

Please include the following copyright statement at the conclusion of the article. The copyright statement has been designed to provide reasonable access to the papers and to allow SCU to publish the proceedings in paper and on CD-ROM.

Uploading the completed paper

HTML documents should be in plain text, graphics in GIF or JPEG format and movies in MPEG or QuickTime format.

Sound files
sound01.au through soundNN.au

Interactive presentation
As it sits on your server and you are going to be linking with an absolute rather than a relative reference, go right ahead and name it what you wish.
An FTP drop box will be provided. Email "aw96edit@scu.edu.au" for instructions.

All papers and associated materials can also be emailed in a ZIP file, using UUencode or BinHex encoding techniques to the editor-in-chief at aw96edit@scu.edu.au .

Details of Preparing the Abstract, Paper and Presentation

Please go on now to learn about preparing each of the: What follows is a full example of the style to use in the preparation of articles with an explanation of key points. Authors should use this example as a skeleton. It revolves around a mythical school (Ballina Lighthouse School) and a mythical university (Ballina University).

Abstract

The abstract provides the keywords, the abstract of 100 to 200 words and the pointers to the full paper, to the presentation and to the interactive version, if any.

<h2>Introduction</h2>
This article describes the introduction of the WorldWideWeb to the students of 
Ballina Lighthouse State School. 
<h2>Background</h2>
Ballina Lighthouse State School is a K6 school which primarily services the
children of the Ballina lighthouse keepers and staff at the Ballina Beach
Resort. The school was first connected to the Internet in 1992 with access 
arranged through Ballina University. In 1994 it was decided to install a 
WorldWideWeb server.
<h2>The Ballina Beach State School WWW Server "LightSource"</h2>
The <a href="http://www.bu.edu.au/bbss/index.html">LightSource [HREF 2]</a>
was commissioned on the Ballina University server in January 1994 in time for 
the 1994 school year. The students used a regular personal computer and high 
speed modem to upload html images to the Ballina University computers. The
designated computer had appropriate facilities to display graphical and 
sound images.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
The production of multimedia is a difficult but challenging environment to work
in  (Makedon et al 1994), not the least with students in the K6 environment. We
found that the greatest challenge was, however, not with the students but in the 
technical sense.
