MASPLAS 2004: Call for PapersIn prior years, MASPLAS has allowed only one paper presentation per institution. This year, we will accept as many papers as possible, regardless of institution affiliation, that fit into our scheduling constraints. If we cannot schedule all submissions on a single day, the faculty associated with papers from institutions with multiple submissions must select a limited number of papers for full presentation leaving the remaining papers to be presented at the poster session if so desired by the authors. The manner of this selection will be left to the authors and their advisors rather than the organizers of MASPLAS. All submitted papers will appear in both the workshop's printed proceedings and electronic proceedings.As in past years, submissions to MASPLAS may be either new work or previously published related work. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:Authors interested in presenting a full paper or poster should submit a plain text or HTML abstract by Wednesday, March 10, 2004. The abstract should be less than one page. Submit abstracts using our convenient submission form, or send them directly to masplas2004@sciris.shu.edu. Final papers should be submitted via email by Monday, March 15, 2004. If you wish to use any presentation tools other than traditional transparencies or a projector for your own laptop, you should also let us know by this date. No electronic submission beyond the abstract is required, but postscript or PDF files for posters that are received by Monday, March 29, 2003 will be included on the web site. (Please identify them as MASPLAS posters as per instruction 2 for paper formatting below). Poster presenters are still responsible for bringing hard copies of their posters to the workshop. PAPER FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS:Papers will appear in the printed proceedings and the electronic proceedings on the MASPLAS 2004 schedule web page. Papers are limited to a length of 10 pages. Since papers will be obtained individually, it is important that you follow the format directions below. In an effort to balance the amount of work required by the program chair and the consistency of the proceedings, we have decided to let the authors determine the format of their paper with THREE exceptions, listed below. If possible, we suggest that authors use a two-column proceedings style for the formatting of their papers. If this is not possible, one-column style will suffice. 1. Papers must be in either postscript (readable by ghostview) or PDF (readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader). 2. The title page of the paper should contain the following: Proceedings of MASPLAS'04This reference may appear either across the top of the first page OR in footnote style at the bottom of the first page. Authors using the ACM conference proceedings style file for documents generated using Latex may include after the \author{...} statement the following:
\toappear{Proceedings of MASPLAS'04 \\
Mid-Atlantic Student Workshop on Programming Languages and Systems \\
Seton Hall University, April 3, 2004}
3. Page numbers will be composed of TWO fields. The first field is your
paper number (which you will receive when all abstracts have been
submitted), and the second field is the page number within your paper. For
example, if your paper number is 7 and your paper is 10 pages long, the
pages should be numbered 7.1, 7.2, ..., 7.10 with a period as the separator
between the two fields. For your convenience, a one-line Latex command to
do this numbering is shown below: \def\thepage{YOUR-PAPER-NUMBER.\arabic{page}}
Change YOUR-PAPER-NUMBER appropriately and insert this line before the \begin{document}.E-mail paper submissions to: masplas2004@shu.edu |
