In order to address these three "rejection factors" our workshop will consist of three phases:

1) Problem & Method Evaluation and Brain Storming. (June through September)

During weekly workshop meetings workshop members will give 10 minute presentations of their problems, their methods for solving the problems, and a list of background research they have done. The presentation will be followed by an open-ended question, answer and brain storming (QA&BS) session during which the group will offer suggestions, point out other methods and resources, direct the speakers to relevant papers, etc. (open ended because it is summer)

2) Project Presentations. (Prior to November 15)

Members give a demo of their completed code to the group along with an oral presentation of their work. The member tells the group were they believe this work should be submitted for publication and why. Each member receives constructive feedback on their work and on publication venues.

3) Writing Workshop (September thorough January)

Prior to November 1 workshop members are required to have completed the reading list. At each weekly meeting each member brings enough copies of their current paper draft for each member to have one, plus three additional copies. The "extra three" papers every workshop member brings are placed in a central pile. At the end of each meeting the papers in the central pile will be divided among the members. Each member will be responsible for reviewing three papers using the SIGGRAPH review form and returning the review to the author at the next meeting. Each week papers are "workshoped" in quick order by the group. Workshoping a papers is a rapid critique of a specific detail of the paper. Each meeting will have a theme such as; title, figures, abstract, etc.
