{\bf 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presenting original and unpublished research on symposium themes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
