| Any useful/important features that I could think of.

| What would you think about double-blind reviewing for SoCG? (The committee and subreferees do not know the authors of the papers.) (This question was added later and only asked of PC members.) |

|
|
| Anything else I would like to say: (Specific remarks about the questions above, comments about the submission process or about the conference itself, suggestions for future conferences) THESE ARE THE ANSWERS FROM PC MEMBERS. | On rejecting all papers that don't satisfy format guidelines: In principle, I'd like to reject all such papers, but I don't want to be too rigid. For instance, I wouldn't want to reject an 11 page paper, but I would want to reject a 15 page paper.
On submissions containing all proofs: I'm in favor of this if "all proofs" is changed to "all interesting and/or important proofs", but this is such a subjective measure that I'm not sure how it could ever be enforced.
On double-blind reviewing: I'm somewhat for this, in principle, but it would depend on how cumbersome it would make the reviewing process. I'm also concerned about how effective this would be in practice --- this is a small enough community that one could probably guess the authors for many of the paper based on known interests, the paper's list of references, and idiosyncrasies of individual writing styles.
It's a pity that applied papers still have such a hard time getting in and that a mix of theory and application is considered "strange".
I am afraid that confidence levels were so different among PC members. Maybe some nice guideline is required.
I think blind reviewing is a good thing,
i.e. the committee should know the authors names, but not the
subreferees.
the last three questions do not have a yes/no answer:
for not adhering to guidelines: 2-column format is too much, but i wouldnt disqualify a 10.5 page long normal format.
the idea of having all proofs in an appendix is appealing on one hand, but it is unfair to dump a 50 pages paper on a busy PC member. on second thought, perhaps it is always a good idea to require all proofs - will prevent half-baked papers from showing up.
the blind refereeing is ok in principle, but it has drawbacks too: we often say that we dont understand the paper, but we trust X. if we didnt know who X was, then...
Double-blind would make it highly inconvenient to use subreferees:
You'd always run the risk of asking an author or coauthor, unless
you figured out who the authors are - in which case you'd defeat the purpose of double-blind.
(the last 3 questions are a little bit "boolean"...)

| Anything else I would like to say: (Comments about the submission process or about the conference itself, suggestions for future conferences) | This form does not provide ample options. For example:
1. Running time (no option to specify results that are linear/polynomial in one parameter - an important one, while treating other parameters as constant, etc.)
2. # of authors does not account for part time students working in industry (therefore numbers dont add up).
3. Final Question about the paper - only the two extremes are available as options (very well OR does not fit at all).
same reviews apply to our submission on semi-algebraic curves
Some aspects of the paper are not characterized particularly well by the above classification.
Covering, packing, and independent set are standard optimization problems that can appear in a geometric setting. Here the optimization problem was covering.
The full glory of the algorithmic setting was "abstractly geometric", as in the VC dimension. Such a category might be an alternative in the "dimension" category.
Nice questionnaire. Issues that might come up at the business meeting might also be considered here, in an advisory way. For example, a poll on conference location would have a different bias than the one at the business meeting.
Submission via pointer to arXiv preprint would encourage use of the arXiv server, simplify the job of collecting submissions, and underline the peculiarity of submitting to a conference in order to publicize a paper that is already easily available world-wide.
Some pre-submission details whether emphasis is on certain applied / theory issues would be helpful -- e.g., will there be a biogeometry session?
The submission process was much smoother in comparison to the process in last year's SoCG.
As for the length restriction: If the submission is slightly longer than the limit (say the references end only in page 11), this is still OK. However, in case of major deviations, the submission should be rejected.
However, I prefer that the submission have the final format used in the proceedings. This way the final version is likely to be more similar to the refereed one.
The submission process was clear and easy, but the restriction of not being able to change the abstract later makes an early registration less attractive. I wonder if you have statistics about the time between the first registration step and the second.
Submission process: I disagree on rejecting papers on formal grounds without looking at proportionality or appropriateness. Not all proofs need to be there, but the important or non-obvious should if the statement might otherwise be questionable or may lead to a rejected paper. Also the page numbers need a limitation, but 11 instead of 10 pages (separate title page ;-) are not the issue. In particular since we have appendices, which I find important. I would appreciate a more realistic page limit oriented at the final proceeding space, either by submitting in this final style or some equivalent larger page budget.
For refereeing, a larger page budget but with 11pt and sufficient margins would be more convenient.
Please add explanation to the above fields. Some of them are not self explanatory.
The paper uses BSP trees, Segment trees, and Sweep Planes
heavily.
Thus, it could be considered a data structure paper, as well
as an algorithms paper.
This paper presents one aspect of my Ph.D. thesis.
This survey was very annoying.
This survey is even more annoying the second time around.
annoying poll!
Part I: I think one answer was missing for:
How did you like the two-stage electronic submission procedure?
Answer: It was OK (the listed ones were either on one side or the
other)
A general wish on future submission procedures: that they are as easy
as possible, and don't take more than 10 (real) minutes.
Part II. I think this survey could be further improved and
also made shorter (regarding final question above).
A wish about the statistics which will be prepared:
to report accurately on the number of algorithms
which will be never implemented.
I hope the statistics will be made available and distributed to the
participants during the symposium (or at least posted on the web).
Regarding the two-stage submission procedure: I cannot remember if it was cumbersome. It was two months ago.
About the format: as an author, both PS and PDF are fine with me. As a referee I much prefer PDF because the files are smaller and because printing errors are much less frequent than with PS.
Questions about criteria for accepting/rejecting submissions: I have strong opinions about it but I have doubts about whether it is appropriate to give such opinions while the PC is still at work.
It would be absurd to _require_ that the submission be formatted
differently than the final paper. And a huge waste of time, too.
The proposed algorithm is currently implemented as a prototype. However, we expect that the implementation will be at the stage of serious applications around the time of SoCG conference.
The submitted work is a generalization of some earlier works.
I had trouble expressing this fact in this questionnaire.
The offered categories reflect a traditional view of the work done in computational geometry and need some expansion into computational topology.
Quite a few times I would wish there were additional categories.
The above questions is great, but it clearly has many holes for our particular paper. I would be happy to suggest refinements of your categories for this purpose. Thanks, Chee
Regarding last question in Part I: I do not think it would be practical to impose that papers have ALL PROOFS, given the "extended abstract" nature of the SoCG conference submission. But authors should be ENCOURAGED to provide an arXiv or url link to as-complete-as-possible versions of their papers, to help the committee in making the decision.
no author can have more than two papers in one conf submission
copied from submission on algebraic curves
Submission process was great.
Collecting feedback and statistics is a good idea too.
