RE: TPAMI-2007-06-0371.R2, "Tracking by an Optimal Sequence of Linear Predictors" Manuscript Type: Regular Dear Mr. Karel Zimmermann, We have completed the review process of the above-referenced paper, submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. Thank you for submitting your minor revision and summary of changes. I am pleased to inform you that, based on the changes you made in your revision, Associate Editor Dr. Patrick Perez has recommended to the Editor-in-Chief that your paper be published as a regular paper in an upcoming issue of the IEEE Transactions Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence with no further changes. Please be advised that as of 1 January 2007, the IEEE Computer Society adopted an online first publication model which means that your PDF file will be posted online shortly after all of your publication materials have been received. The PDF you submit will be stamped as a “Preprint” and sent to the IEEE for posting in Xplore. After your paper has been edited and you have reviewed your proofs, it will then be restamped as a “Rapid Post,” indicating that the paper is complete with the exception of pagination. Please note that your article title cannot change once it is posted online. If for any reason you would prefer not to have your paper posted as a Preprint, please let me know as soon as possible (when you send your publication materials); otherwise, not responding indicates your acceptance of our policy. Please prepare a final manuscript within one week. The Associate Editor hopes that the final version of your manuscript submitted is as free of error as possible, since any revision at galley proof time will be costly and may delay the publication of your paper. The author's publication materials checklist can be found on http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/transactions/tpami/mc/author.html#final This will help you in your preparation of the final manuscript. Please send all the required items to me via our ftp site or by email.
