The Conference publishes
refereed proceedings of presented papers. Papers accepted for publication
should follow the proceedings format and be camera ready; however, for
review they don't need to follow a set format. Interested authors must
submit their papers by 2/1/2001 for review. The authors will be notified
of their papers' status and in case of acceptance will receive papers for
revision by 4/1/2001. Authors need to resubmit the papers in formatted, revised
form by 5/15/2001. In this step, the original clear figures and graphs
should be submitted with the papers. If a presenter is not able to
submit a paper for presentation, he or she may send an abstract (not more
than 1 page) to be published in the Conference Proceedings. There
is no reviewing process for abstracts. The deadline for abstracts
is 5/15/2001.
Please send your papers or
abstracts to:
