The course will challenge the simple question of "how to make a SIGGRAPH paper". The course will cover a larger scope than just how to "write" the paper but it will consider many other aspects: how to pick a good problem, how to position it, how to produce convincing results, how to evaluate it, how to present the results, etc. In the course, the presenters will share their experience with the audience hoping to provide them with useful tips and know-how that will help them in realizing the potential of their research. The course will consist of two main parts: the first three senior presenters will give their personal view, and in the second we will have a larger panel that includes a few younger successful researchers.

Level

Beginner

Prerequisites

No explicit background is needed. Though, our guess is that only these who have experienced a "reject" of a submitted paper have the potential to fully enjoy the course.

Intended Audience

Those who never had (yet) a SIGGRAPH paper (accepted).
