Invitation to Participate
Welcome to the Home Page of Mandurah 2001: The Eleventh
U.W.A. Computer Science Research Conference. This page
will be added to as information becomes available. If the
information you require is not here, please email Cara MacNish.

Venue
This year's conference will once again be held at
the Mandurah Gates Resort, 110 Mandurah Terrace,
Mandurah. This is just north of the Mandurah City
Centre and Estuary on the old Mandurah road (just after
Stewart St. on the right as you head into Mandurah),
and is about 60 mins drive from the University of
Western Australia.
For relaxing after a mentally invigorating day of
talks the resort offers a swimming pool, heated spa,
sauna, mini-golf, half-sized tennis court, volley ball,
and games room. The beach is about 100m walk, and there
is a licensed bar and restaurant.

Information for Speakers
It is anticipated that each speaker will be allocated 30
minutes. The talks themselves should be 20 to 25 minutes in
length, leaving 5 to 10 minutes for questions and
discussion.
Facilities available will include an overhead projector and
computer projector. Please contact one of the organisers if you
require any special equipment.
Information for Authors
A sample LaTeX file that can be used as a template can be
found here. For those
using other typesetters or word processors, please view either
the dvi output or the
postscript output from
the sample file and match it as closely as possible. This
format is required to give the proceedings a consistent look,
and papers that are too different from this format will have to
be returned for re-typsetting.
In particular:
-
Papers should be prepared in single column format, right
and left justified, using 10pt roman font. (This
is the default for LaTeX article class).
-
Page numbers should not be included, but rather
printed lightly in pencil on the back of the pages.
-
Please limit papers to a maximum of 20
pages.
For printing purposes you should also take account of the
following:
-
If intending to embed any pictures in your paper, please
scan in the picture with as high resolution as possible,
but print out on laser printer with 300dpi (coarse) as
maximum.
-
If you are intending to use any shading use a minimum of
20%.
-
If intending to include graphs, use as high a contrast
as possible between differing sets of data points (slight
changes of tint do not print up well).
-
Margins: Allow 25-30mm for left and right margins
(minimum). Allow 20-25mm for top and bottom margins
(minimum).
Deadlines for Papers and Abstracts
The deadlines for papers submitted to the conference are as
follows:
-
Titles to Voon-Li or myself: Friday 17th
August
-
Completed draft papers to supervisors: Friday
24th August
-
Final papers and abstracts: Friday 31st
August
These deadlines are necessary in order to allow time for
reviewing, collating and printing the proceedings before the
event.
