Submission Instructions:  OCIS requires electronic submission.  In addition 
to submitting your paper through the Academy website, please send your 
electronic submission (no hard copies) to the Program Chair at 
OCIS2005-info at stanford.edu.  Papers should be assembled as a single 
document, including all figures and tables, ready to be distributed 
electronically to reviewers, with identifying properties removed. The 
electronic file for a paper submission should not include the title page or 
any other identifying information (however, don't forget to insert the title 
above the paper's abstract and put the submission number in the header). The 
title page should be included as a separate file attached to the email. 
Please indicate on the title page (1) if you prefer the paper to be 
programmed in an alternative presentation format (interactive paper or 
visual/poster presentation) and (2) if all authors on the paper are students 
(so that your paper can be considered for the best student paper award).



For symposia submission, we strongly encourage submission to multiple 
divisions.
