Florida Tech Graphics Conference (FTGC '02)
by William Shoaff with lots of help
FTGC '02 aims to become a major point of contact for beginning computer
graphicists.
Participants will share their latest programs, research, and ideas in
the area of computer graphics.
The conference will include a keynote address and contributed papers.
The FTGC '02 Program Committee will make all decisions concerning
the acceptance of papers.
Contributors will write a paper,
referee other papers,
revise their paper based on referee's remarks,
and present a conference talk.
Write your paper as if you are preparing it for a conference.
You'll also be reviewing other papers as a conference referee. In addition, your
presentation will be made as if you are making it at a conference
(i.e.. you'll use transparencies or a computer to give the presentation);
it will be 15
minutes in length; you'll take questions after the talk for a few minutes.
- Choose a project.
If you want to work with someone else, you'll need to
find a teammate also.
Submit a description of your project
by January 29 .
I may reject your choice and have you pick something else if your
choice has already been selected, so it is wise to choose early.
Use the command:
java -cp client.jar -Dclass=cse4280 -Dproject=describe TransferClientfileName
to submit your description.
- Make a detailed design of your paper.
Your design should include a list of the sections in your paper and
what information will be placed in each of those sections.
Your design should be complete by Februay 19 and I'd be happy
to discuss it with you then should you feel it is necessary.
- Complete the first version of your paper by
March 12 .
Your paper must have a title, abstract, keywords,
introduction, body describing your research, conclusion,
and bibliography.
Do not include author information on this initial draft:
Reviews are to be anonymous.
Your draft must be double-spaced, and can not be hand
written (use LATEX, Word, or something equivalent).
Your draft paper should be between 8 to 16 in length.
Submit a copy of your draft paper
before class on
March 12 .
Use the command:
java -cp client.jar -Dclass=cse4280 -Dproject=draft TransferClientfileName
to submit your first draft.
- On March 14 you will be assigned at least two papers to referee.
Complete referee evaluations
of these papers by March 26 .
Do not put your name on the review sheet:
Reviews are meant to be anonymous.
Remember the reviews are to help the author write a better
paper: Be critical and constructive.
Submit your review sheets
before class on
March 26 .
Use the command:
java -cp client.jar -Dclass=cse4280 -Dproject=review TransferClientfileName
to submit your review.
- Using the reviews given by classmates, revise your paper and turn
in your final version before class on April 26 .
Turn in your final paper and reviews of you draft.
Use the command:
java -cp client.jar -Dclass=cse4280 -Dproject=final TransferClientfileName
to submit your final paper.
- Design your talk. Assume you'll talk about each
transparency for about 2 minutes, except for the first one,
the title transparency.
It is recommended that you use LATEX, PowerPoint or something
equivalent to prepare your presentation, but copy it onto transparencies
as a backup. A computer and projector,
and overhead projector will be provided for your talk.
- Talks will be scheduled during the last one or two weeks of the semester.
- All talks must include a demonstration of software developed
to illustrate the ideas in the papers.
The Program Committee will review papers with a very critical eye to
quality, thoroughness, and completeness of research and results.
Submissions which are simply proposals for further implementations,
that are based on conjectural or unsubstantiated conclusions, or that
are based on substantially incomplete results will not be accepted.
Papers that present excellent ideas and results and sought.
Conference projects will be graded on
- 1.
- the technical paper (25%)
- 2.
- the graphics program (25%)
- 3.
- quality of their reviews of others' papers (25%)
- 4.
