Representative
Conference Topics:

Please see NEW
PICTURES from the last
conference available on “Bridges in Pictures” at the Bridges Website (http://www.sckans.edu/~bridges/).
The
conference will feature presentations of regular, plenary, and short papers.
These will all be selected from the pool of submitted papers. Regular and
plenary presentations require an 8-page regular paper; short
presentations require a 2-page short paper.
The regular
presentations will be given a 30-minute time slot. The best papers, or the ones
that promise to appeal to the largest part of the audience, will be selected
for plenary presentations in a 45-minute time slot. Regular papers should
ideally be 8 pages long, but can be extended to 10 or 12 pages if the content
warrants the extra length. Authors will be charged $50 for each 2-page
extension.
The
short presentations will be given a 20-minute time slot.
The Conference plans
to publish refereed proceedings to be distributed at the conference. Thus,
there is a tight and firm schedule:
Deadline for paper
submissions for review: February 1, 2004. Submit five paper copies to:
Professor Reza
Sarhangi, Bridges Conference, Mathematics Department, Towson University, 8000
York Road, Towson, MD 21252; or send a formatted electronic copy in PDF format
to: rsarhangi@towson.edu
Notification of
acceptance of paper: April 1, 2004.
Deadline for submission
of final camera-ready manuscript: May 1, 2004. Send two camera-ready
paper copies to Reza Sarhangi. In this
stage you also need to send your registration form and payment along with your
paper. Please note that one
non-refundable full registration is required for one author of a paper.
Papers published in the
proceedings must follow the specified format and the guidelines for the preparation
of the camera-ready manuscript. These instructions can be found at 2004 Paper Guidelines on the Bridges website (http://www.sckans.edu/~bridges/).
Papers that deviate
from the specified style will not be included in the proceedings.
It is strongly
suggested (but not strictly necessary), that even the first submission of the
paper be as close to the recommended preparation guidelines as possible, so
that the reviewers can judge more easily what the final version will look like.
The
1998-2002 Bridges Proceedings are available through the online store

The Bridges Mathematical Visual Art Exhibit
The Bridges Conference
will be complemented by an exhibit of mathematical art. This exhibit will be
held in the President Gallery and the Rehearsal Room close to the Messenger
Auditorium, the main Bridges lecture room, which is located in Darbeth Fine
Arts Center, at Southwestern College. Presenters of papers accepted to the
proceedings are invited to bring artwork related to their presentations.
Artists interested in exhibiting some work without giving a presentation must
still submit a two-page description of their work accompanied by suitable
images, and undergo a refereeing process. Items submitted to the exhibit should
be "polished" and presented in a manner consistent with art gallery
display.
Due to space
constraints, please limit all flat works to no more than 24" x 36",
and 3-D works to no more than 24" x 24" x 24". (Special arrangements can be made in
extraordinary circumstances). Artworks
should be easily hung or set up; help will be available for hanging. Works should be hand delivered to the exhibit
room on Thursday July 29, 2003 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The exhibit participants
are also responsible to ship their works back.
Help will be provided in this regard.
Please
note that if you would like to participate in the “Bridges Mathematical Visual
Art Exhibit”, even if you don’t want to give a presentation, you need to submit
a short paper that includes your proposed images for the exhibit. If you are going to submit a regular or short
paper for your presentation that includes images for the exhibit, then you do
not need to submit a separate paper in this regard.
For more
information in this regard please contact the Visual Art Exhibit coordinator:
Professor Carlo Séquin, Computer Science Division, EECS
Department, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, E-mail: sequin@cs.berkeley.edu
A CD will be
published along with the 2004 Bridges Proceedings. The CD will include the artwork that will be
presented at the Bridges Exhibit. If
your work is accepted to be exhibited, you may send electronic images suitable
for on-line publication. The images could be JPG or GIF files, maximum width =
650 pixels, maximum height = 450 pixels, this means, that they need to be
completely visible on a small monitor screen without scrolling.
There is a registration fee of
$50.00 for each day or $130.00 for the entire conference plus $30.00 for each
copy of the Bridges Proceedings.
