- CALL FOR TECHNICAL VIDEOS
-
- The program committee cordially invites you to submit your experimental
- results, software and hardware demonstrations, and computer animations

- generally detract from the presentation.
- * Flow charts, block diagrams, circuit boards, computers, or
- operators usually add little.
- * Keep the subject technical, not promotional.
- * Illustrate systems or results not easily conveyed in a written
- paper.
- * Be concise, convey one major result clearly.
- * Make videos 'stand alone' and self-contained.
- * Tie subject of video to a technical paper if possible.
-
- Technical Videos: Please submit one high quality copy of a 2 to 3
- minute video segment in 1/2 inch VHS or 1 inch Umatic format, and a
- one-page information sheet containing TITLE, AUTHORS, AFFILIATIONS,
