Guidelines

• Contact information - Somewhere on your web page, or perhaps one link away, you should include the following contact information for your group: contact person, contact e-mail address, physical mailing address, voice telephone number, and fax number (if applicable).

• Supporting department/institution - If you are part of a university or other institution, include a link to their home page. Similarly, you should provide a link to your department's page if applicable. For example, if you are the vision group in the computer science department at the University of X, you should reference both the university and the department homepages.

• Complete web pages - Please try to fill out as many links as possible before submitting. While I appreciate your desire to advertise as soon as possible, please understand that your readers could well become discouraged if you advertise information that is not yet available.

• Readable web pages - It is tempting to include the latest cool tags produced by Netscape and Microsoft. However, it is important that you recognize that not everyone will be using the latest browser. If you use features such as frames, tables, and plugins, be sure to provide alternatives for those using older browsers. As an example, tables with embedded anchors) will not show up at all in Mosaic or some text-only browsers. To solve this, you might include the same links outside of tables on the same page, offer another page with the same information but no tables. Remember, you want your page to be accessible to the greatest number of people.

• Support for slow links - Before you add beautiful, colorful graphics and image maps to your page, consider that your site will be visited by people from all over, and some of these people are likely to be accessing the web through a rather slow link. It's frustrating if a page takes 15 minutes to load. To solve this, you can provide a text-only version of your page or include text links below your image maps.

• Relevance to computer vision - If it's not obvious from your group's title or home page, please explain how your work is related to computer vision. You can include such information in the "detailed description" field. I don't want to exclude anyone, but a few of the submissions I've gotten have been only very tangentially related and really belong on the Related Links page.

• Logo requirements - If you would like to publish your logo, please create one that is no more than 50 (max 60) pixels tall. You might also consider making the logo background transparent (by using a transparent GIF).
