SAC'94
SAC'94 is the annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied
Computing (SIGAPP). For the past eight years, SACs have become a primary forum
for applied computing practitioners and researchers. Once again, SAC'94 will
be held in conjunction with the 1994 ACM Computer Science Conference in Phoenix.
This year, SAC'94 will bring together five additional ACM Special Interest
Groups: SIGAPL, SIGBIO, SIGBIT, SIGFORTH and SIGSMALL/PC, each one of which
will have their own track within SAC'94.
Although papers and proposals for panels, tutorials and workships which deal
with the conference themes, STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY TRANFER and INTELLIGENT BUSINESS
APPLICATIONS, are especially encouraged, papers which deal with all areas
of applied computing are solicited. Of particular interest are papers in AI,
biomolecular computing, cognitive science, Computational Biology-Chemistry-Physics
and Geosciences, Reliability, Electronic Libraries, Multi-Media, Geographic
Information Systems, Image Processing, Logic and Symbolic Programming, Office
Automation, Software Reusability and Intelligent Systems. Proposals for special
sessions and panels are also encouraged.

IN BRIEF...
SAC'94 will begin on Sunday, March 6, 1994, with pre-conference tutorials.
Paper presentations and panels will begin on Monday, March 7. For further
information contact addresses listed above.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION...
Original papers dealing with any aspect of computer applications will be considered
for presentation and publication in the SAC'94 Proceedings. This specifically
includes these categories of submissions: (1) original and unpublished research,
(2) reports of innovative applications in the arts, sciences, engineering,
business, government and industry, and (3) reports of successful technology
transfer to new problem domains. Each category of submission will be reviewed
by peer groups appropriate to that category. Accepted papers in all categories
will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Expanded versions of selected
papers from all categories will be considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP
quarterly
APPLIED COMPUTING REVIEW.
In order to facitate the blind external review process, submission guidelines
must be strictly adhered to:
1. Submit 5 copies of the manuscript to Joe Urban, Conference Co-Chair, at
the address above.
2. Author name(s) and address(es) MUST NOT appear in the body of the paper,
and self-reference should be in the third person.
3. The body of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words (~20 pages, double-spaced)
without prior approval.
4. A separate cover sheet should be attached to each copy, containint (1)
the title, (2) the author(s) and affiliation(s), and (3) the address (including
e-mail and fax) to which correspondence should be sent.
Papers relating to SIGAPL, SIGBIO, SIGBIT, SIGFORTH and SIGSMALL/PC participation
should be clearly identified as such so that they may be directed to appropriate
track chairs. Look for further information in these SIG newsletters.
All papers and panel Proposals must be received by October 1, 1993.
