Electronic submission

Electronic Submission

Electronic submission is strongly recommended. In this case, your materials are received through our conference web page. Please submit the following materials in Portable Document Format (PDF).

  • For submissions in categories that use an anonymous reviewing process (i.e. long papers, interactive posters, system demonstrations, short papers, special interest groups, and student posters) a copy of the submission must be provided, in which author information and obvious self-citations are replaced with asterisks (*) characters.
  • For submission in other categories a complete copy of the paper with authors' names, affiliations and addresses in the final publication format should be submitted.

Adobe Acrobat

pstill

GhostScript

ps2pdf

Acrobat Reader

PDF files can be produced from source files with programs such as Adobe Acrobat, or by first producing a PostScript file (e.g. choose "print to file" with a standard postscript driver) and then converting the file to
PDF with software such as pstill or GhostScript. PostScript files can also be converted using free online conversion services such as ps2pdf found at http://www.ps2pdf.com.
The resulting PDF file should be loaded into the Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 5 for testing. Your PDF file should be printed from the viewer to ensure that the printed version adheres to the INTERACT 2003 formatting instructions and page limits, and that the size and clarity of tables and figures (in particular bitmaps) are of good quality for printing as black-and-white prints.
Viewer software is available at no cost from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html. Submissions that contain Asian and other non-European fonts cannot be read with the version of Acrobat to be used by most reviewers. Verify that your submission is readable by testing with a European version of Acrobat reader.

Non-electronic submission

In case of non-electronic submission, send 6 hard copies of the materials by the deadline date. Include a cover page containing the paper title, author names, contact persons, address, abstract, and keywords.
Submission of non-electronic materials is received at:
