Author Instructions

Congratulations on having your paper accepted to the Thirty-Third Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-33). Final acceptance is conditional upon submission of the final draft of your paper and copyright transfer form, and registration by at least one of the authors for the conference by October 1, 1999.

The Proceedings will be published and distributed by the Computer Society Press of the IEEE and listed in its publication brochures. You must follow the IEEE Proceedings Guidelines and their deadlines to ensure that the proceedings are ready for distribution at the Conference in January.

There are 6 steps you must complete by October 1:

  1. Format your paper according to the IEEE proceedings guidelines. Please note that papers cannot exceed 10 pages.
  2. Format a separate file that contains another copy of your abstract using these guidelines.
  3. Submit the file containing your formatted paper and the file containing your formatted abstract by FTP to the publisher. If you are unable to submit your paper via the FTP site, you can make arrangements with IEEE to accept a paper version for an extra charge of US $100. Please contact the HICSS office by September 20 for information about how to submit a paper version.
  4. Print, complete, and fax to Lorretta Palagi at IEEE (fax number: (+1) 360-734-9715) the Copyright Form (PDF version or text only version).
    If you want to order reprints, print, complete and fax to IEEE (fax number: (+1) 714 761-1784) the Reprint Request Form (PDF version or text only version).
  5. Print, complete, and send to HICSS the audio-visual equipment request form.
  6. Print, complete, and send to HICSS the conference registration form.

You should also register at the conference hotel by October 1 as well. While there are other hotels within driving distance of the conference venue, this time of year is very popular in Hawaii and other accommodations may be scarce.

We also encourage you to make your airline and car reservations early because they too may become scarce.
