To:  Authors for NASA's Satellite Networks Workshop (June 2-4)
From:  Richard Ziegfeld, workshop publications editor
Topic:  Issues related to workshop publications
Date:  May 7, 1998

This memo concerns 1) questions authors have asked; 2) requests we are making.


PUBLICATION PRODUCTS:  you have asked what we intend to publish.
	During workshop:  photocopied abstracts
	Post-workshop:  official NASA conference publication of presenter viewgraphs

	CONTENT OF CONFERENCE PUBLICATION:  we will publish your viewgraphs exactly
as you submit them. You do NOT need to write a paper. We will reduce
viewgraphs and, as space allows, lay out 2-4 viewgraphs on each printed page.

	VOLUNTARY:  we will publish viewgraphs that are available; if you choose
not to submit a manuscript, you will not be under any pressure to do so

	CAMERA-READY:  aside from reducing the viewgraphs, we will do not edit or
clean up your product. This means that
        * Visuals should be pasted in the document at proper size and location
	* Visuals are of good quality & sufficient resolution to reproduce well
	* Type size, even in visuals, is large enough to be legible
	* Handwritten notes are not advisable because they are not professional
	* No page/sequence nos. should appear; we will paginate the manuscript

	QUANTITY:  we will publish up to 20 viewgraphs for each presentation

	ON-SITE SUBMISSION:  you may submit hardcopies of your 20 (or fewer)
viewgraphs AT the workshop registration desk.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION:  beginning Friday, MAY 15, we will post a new section
on the website main page that explains how to submit your viewgraphs
electronically:  it will be a link entitled "Information for Presenters".
This email will also be available in that location.

	POST-WORKSHOP DUE DATE:  if you are unable to submit your packet at the
workshop, we will publish packets that are in hand Friday, June 19.

	POST-WORKSHOP MAILING ADDRESS:  c/o Richard Ziegfeld, Federal Data
Corporation, 2001 Aerospace Parkway, Brook Park, OH 44142

	CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS:  phone--216-977-1334; 216-977-1269;
email--r.ziegfeld@lerc.nasa.gov



INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION:  NASA distributes conference publications
internationally, so if you plan to present or were contemplating presenting
domestically sensitive information, you should submit viewgraphs knowing
that our conference publications are available to anyone internationally who
requests them.

need to hear from you as soon as possible to allow processing time before we
