How will SIGGRAPH 2011 address network failures?
SIGGRAPH 2011 is only responsible for the availability of the submission server. If the Student Volunteers Chair is notified of a hardware or service failure for the submission system, he will authorize an appropriate deadline adjustment and prominently post notices at several locations. Applications delayed by other network failures between your location and the SIGGRAPH server will not be exempted from the deadline. Please apply early to avoid connectivity-support problems or last-minute server performance. Note: The clock on the submission server determines the final submission deadline time: 22:00 GMC/UMT.
