  • 3D Meeting in Cape Town

    Dear Biomch-l Colleagues

    Below is an announcement for the 3D meeting to be held here in Cape
    Town next year. I trust that some of you will consider attending this
    event.

    FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

    Sixth International Symposium on the 3D Analysis of Human Movement

    1 - 4 May 2000, Cape Town, South Africa

    Official Event of the International Society of Biomechanics


    INTRODUCTION

    The International Symposium on the 3D Analysis of Human Movement is a
    scientific and technical forum for investigators of human motion,
    whether their work is applied to the study of musculoskeletal
    disability or disease, sport and elite performance, or basic studies
    of biomechanics. By generating communication and contact between
    scientific disciplines and specialities, the Symposium will be
    directed at sharing information and results related to solving
    problems of 3D measurement and analysis.


    SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

    The conference will span three days, and will include four keynote
    presentations, forty fiteen-minute oral scientific presentations,
    and a number of technical presentations from industry. Because we
    wish to retain the intimate nature of these meetings, registration
    will be limited to the first 100 applicants.

    VENUE

    The symposium venue and recommended hotel for delegates is:

    The Vineyard Hotel

    We have reserved a block of rooms and have negotiated a rate that is

    DEADLINES

    Abstract submission: 15 December 1999
    Notification to authors: 15 February 2000

    Send the original and three copies of your manuscript to Professor
    Garth Johnson at the above address.

    INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

    The four page manuscript is a complete mini-paper with figures and
    references, and will be published in the Proceedings. Each
    submission is to represent original work that has not been reported
    elsewhere. The paper may report significant results of current pilot
    studies which may lead to subsequent journal publications, and as
    such we do not claim any copyright privileges.

    All papers are to be up to FOUR 8½ x 11 inch or A4 pages in length.
    The characters should be 10 point Times type or equivalent (12
    characters to the inch), and single spaced. The title of the paper
    in capital letters is centred on the first page about 20mm from the
    top. Leave one line space, and centre the names of the author and
    co-authors, affiliations and addresses below the title. Start the
    text 70mm from the top of the first page and 25mm from the top of
    subsequent pages. Indent each paragraph 4 spaces. The text is to be
    in two columns each 80mm wide, separated by a 15mm space, with equal
    margins on both sides, justified to the maximum column width. Text
    should finish 250mm from the top of the page. Headings should be in
    capitals, left justified and in bold, and preceded by a single
    blank line. Second-level headings should be in upper and lower case
    bold type, indented 4 spaces from the left margin. Figures may be
    full width if necessary.

    Use SI units throughout -- papers based on Imperial units will be
    rejected. The manuscript will be reproduced exactly as submitted, so
    use a new black ribbon or laser printing. Remember to send the
    manuscript to Professor Garth Johnson at the above address.
