GENERAL INFORMATION ON YEAST 1998
1998 is the year of Science and Technology in South Africa (YEAST 1998).
The intention of the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and
Technology of SA is to make South Africans more aware of how Science
and Technology affects them in every-day life. Such a national
initiative is a very good environment for a conference like this: one
that has a broad scope and spans many different fields. At the same
time an opportunity is given to the research community of South Africa
to interact more directly with overseas peers.
___________________________________________________________________
AIMS AND SCOPE OF SSCC98 CONFERENCE
The Conference is broad in scope and will provide a forum for the
exchange of the latest research results as applied to different
branches of science and technology. The areas of interest include
concepts, techniques and paradigms associated with systems, signals,
control and/or computers. Domains of application include informatics,
bio- medical technology, economics, management, diverse engineering and
science fields and applied mathematics. Artificial intelligence
techniques are of particular interest, as well as reports on industrial
applications. The authors are requested to include up to five codes
from the list provided (or relevant keywords) that are most appropriate
to the topics covered in their papers. A detailed list of topic codes
necessary for classification of submissions is provided in this
message.
The conference will include several plenary and invited lectures from
world renowned scientists, regular papers and posters. A number of
special and invited sessions will also be organized, dealing with
focused areas of interest. The proposals for these special sessions
should be submitted at the same time as the abstracts. A special
session cannot have less than three papers or more than six.
The official language of the conference is English.
__________________________________________________________________
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION - REVIEW PROCESS Three copies of the extended
abstract having about two pages, should be sent to the Conference
Office at the address provided. Alternatively they may be faxed (one
copy). Full papers are preferred. Abstracts (papers) in Microsoft Word
(for Windows) or in LATEX format (with standard LATEX style for
articles) can be sent by e-mail. All submissions will be reviewed by
members of the International Programme Committee; additional reviewers
will be consulted if necessary. The submissions will be reviewed as
soon as they arrive; the average review time is about four weeks.
Authors of accepted papers will thereafter be informed (by e-mail if
available) of the required format for camera-ready paper submissions.
In order for reviewers to be able to assess the submissions, the
extended abstract has to provide sufficient information about the
background to the problem, the novelty of the obtained results and the
results achieved, the conclusions drawn and some references. Up to five
keywords (or topic codes from the list provided in this message)
should be supplied. All submitted papers have to be original,
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.
___________________________________________________________________
PROCEEDINGS
All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Although we expect that the authors of accepted papers will present
their papers at this Conference, we recognize that circumstances may
prevent authors from participation at the Conference. In such cases
the accepted papers will be published if the authors inform organizers
of their non-attendance at the Conference by 15th May 1998. However,
conference fees according to established rules have to be pre-paid in
order that papers appear in the Proceedings.
___________________________________________________________________
CONFERENCE FEES
The conference fee for one participant covers the publication of
paper(s) (each with a maximum of five A4 pages in length) according to
the required format; one volume of the Proceedings in which the
paper(s) appear(s); refreshment during the conference and a banquet.
Additional volumes of the Proceedings can be purchased for US$ 55.00.
A social programme and tourist visits will be provided at extra cost.
Members of SAIMC are entitled to 10% conference fee discount.
Reduced registration fee of US$ 250.00 (South Africans R 1000.00) is
applicable for early received, reviewed and accepted papers provided
this fee is paid by the end of February, 1998 - prospective authors
are encouraged to take advantage of this
convenience;
otherwise the following rates apply:
Early registration fee: US$ 300.00 (South Africans R 1200.00) Late and
on-site registration fee: US$ 350.00 (South Africans R 1400.00)
Student fee: US$ 200.00 (South Africans R 800.00). The student scale
of fees applies when all authors mentioned on the paper are current
students; written proof has to be provided at the time of payment.
Payment in South African rands is possible only when all authors of the
papers are South African residents; written proof has to be provided at
the time of payment.
