Submissions

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on symposium themes listed here. Papers in applied areas with a strong foundational emphasis are also welcome. Authors may submit drafts of full papers or extended abstracts. Submissions are limited to 12 A4-size pages, with 1.5 inch top margin other margins 1 inch wide and 11 point or larger font. Authors who feel that more details are necessary may include a clearly marked appendix which will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Each paper should contain a short abstract. If available, e-mail addresses and fax numbers of the authors should be included.

Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. Self-contained uuencoded gzipped Postscript versions of the paper may be sent by e-mail. If this is not possible, authors may submit five (5) hard-copies of the paper by post to the address below. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference. Accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag.
