All papers must be received no later than

If you have any questions regarding the Instructions to Authors or how to
prepare your paper, please contact me or a member of my staff. Just to save
time, I'll answer a few of the most common questions here:
Paper FAQ's
Yes, we want your disk/CD and a high quality laser printout of your paper with
tables, graphs, formulas, and images in the correct place and to size in
the body of the text. Please pay special attention to the part of the attached
instructions headed What to Submit.
A 10-point Times Roman on 11-point leading is the size we ask you to use.
No. The deadline is set so that we have time to prepare the proceedings and
have them delivered for distribution at the meeting. If we push back the
deadline, we might not be able to get the proceedings to the meeting.
If you are worried about your paper not meeting the deadline or getting lost
in the mail, please send it by one of the many methods that provide a tracking
number and receipt confirmation. The Post Office and many of the other delivery
services can do this for you. We prefer that you not ask us to call you about
receiving your paper. We receive about 250 papers for these Proceedings, so
it is not feasible for us to call you or respond to calls asking if we have
received a paper. However, if you supply an email address, you will get a message
indicating that your paper was received.
Yes, and at no cost to you. The proceedings are being published on CD ROM only,
so there will be no charge for color illustrations.
No. The quality is too poor from a fax for reproduction purposes.
We cannot make corrections to papers. If you find that you MUST make critical
corrections, please submit a new disk and hardcopy of the paper CLEARLY STATING
THAT IT IS TO REPLACE THE ONE ORIGINALLY RECEIVED. This should be done AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. There will be no extensions for corrected papers.
People ask this question all the time. Please understand that it is NOT a requirement
to submit a paper to the proceedings. You may still give your oral or poster
presentation, even if you do not send a paper for the proceedings. However,
we certainly hope you will submit your paper, as attendees are interested
in reading them. If you don't have time to submit a full paper, please consider
re-submitting your abstract, typed according to the authors instructions
-- that's certainly better than nothing.
If you need additional copies of the instructions or forms, please check the
ASPRS website at <www.asprs.org/asprs>, Conference website at <www.asprs.org/baltimore2005>,
or send me an email with your request to <kimt@asprs.org>.
If you are a student and you are giving an oral presentation in a technical
session or a poster presentation, you may register at the Student Registration
Price as long as you provide a valid student ID with your registration.
Again, if you have further questions, please contact us. See you in Baltimore.
