  • Final call (3D meeting)

    Dear Biomch-L Colleagues

    Below is the final call for papers for the 3D meeting to be held in Cape Town
    in May this year. Please note that the deadline for submission of your papers
    is:

    15 January 2000 (i.e. six more days!)

    and you will be notified of the outcome of the review process by the
    end of February. Please note too that if you plan to attend the
    meeting, but don't wish to present a paper, you must register with the
    hotel by 29 February to get the discounted rate. This applies to
    speakers too!

    I apologise that our web-mistress is away at present and so our
    web-site doesn't have all the up-to-date information contained in this
    announcement. The web-site will be updated tomorrow, 10th of January.

    FINAL 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.


    REGISTRATION AND ACCOMMODATION FORMS

    Please contact Ms Jenny Theron and ask her to send you, as an e-mail
    attachment, the registration and accommodation forms which will include
    all the costs.

    DEADLINES

    Abstract submission: 15 January 2000
    Notification to authors: 29 February 2000


    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.

    All papers must be submitted electronically using the following ftp
    site:

    radius.ncl.ac.uk

    username: isb3d
    password: isb3d

    Files should be written to the isb3d directory ONLY. These files cannot
    be edited or deleted by the user after transfer. The name of the file
    should be the first 8 letters of the corresponding author's last name.

    All files should be in Rich Text Format (RTF). Any file not in this
    format will be deleted before being read by the University of Newcastle
    (this step is being taken for virus protection reasons).

    Once you have submitted your file, you should send an e-mail message to
    Garth Johnson. This e-mail will serve as your proof of submission, and
    no files will be processed until the e-mail has been received by Garth.
