INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on having your paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the 32nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. The Proceedings will be published in electronic form only. This will require some extra effort from you in submitting your paper, but we think you will find it very worthwhile.

You will need to make the following submissions no later than October 1, 1998. The instructions for preparing each are shown below. Guidelines and format sheets can be downloaded by selecting from the attachment list at the end of this document.

1. Prepare a Postscript or a PDF file of the entire paper using the unique filename (ttmmmxx.ps or ttmmmxx.pdf) given to you by your minitrack chair in your acceptance letter, where

• tt = the Track Name
• mmm = the Minitrack Name
• xx = the two digit sequence number that specifies the order of the paper in the Proceedings

Format according to theFormat Instructions which are available on the publisher's web site. Guidelines for generating PostScript files instructions are also available on the publisher's web site. Submit it by FTP to the Sony Electronic Publishing Services(instructions below). This electronic form of your paper will be published on a CD/ROM to be distributed at the conference. Note that you will not send a camera ready version of your paper. Therefore, before sending the postscript or PDF file by FTP, print it to be sure it is correct.

If, for some reason, you cannot place an electronic copy of your paper on the FTP site, you may submit it as camera-ready hard copy. You must then attach a check for US $100.00 payable to HICSS, to cover the cost of scanning and handling. Please print your camera-ready manuscript on plain white paper (A4 is acceptable). Mail your paper with your copyright form and check, and enclose a note that you could not place it on the FTP site. We recommend using a courier service to insure your paper arrives on time. If sending a hard copy, your paper must be received in our California office by Oct.1, 1998. Mail to Sony Electronic Publishing Services at the address shown below.

If you post an electronic copy of your paper on a Web site, please follow the instructions in the section entitled Electronic Web or Internet Copies of Your Paper.

 

2. Prepare a separate .ps or .pdf file containing only the title, filename, author(s), and the abstract of your paper. See example for formatting instructions. A Rich Text Format document of the example is available. This file will be printed in an abstract book that will be distributed to all HICSS participants.

 

3. Send the two files by ftp to the Sony Electronic Publishing Services. Follow the submission instructions carefully.

 

4. Send a signed copyright form by mail (see below) or fax at 831-372-7145. Your paper will not be published without this form.
