Lectures
They can be invited plenary 1-hour lectures and free possibly parallel 30
minutes lectures. The travel and accommodation of invited speakers will be
paid by the Organizing Committee. The distribution into both categories will
take into account the relative value of each paper and the budgetary
resources. Interested people are invited to submit papers:
By surface mail, or
Electronically, as either an unformatted (plain text) ASCII file or as a
LaTeX file.
They should send one copy of a camera-ready 2-columns abstract of not more
than 2 not-numbered pages. Also, they must indicate the section into which
their paper fits. Submissions will be anonymously refereed, and the list of
accepted lectures (invited as well as free) will be included into future
announcements. Authors will be notified of acceptance as soon as possible.
Timetable
Deadline for the submission of a paper (2-pages abstract): September 30, 1995.
The programme will be sent to all pre-registered participants on October 1995.
Publications
The book of abstracts will be available at the beginning of the conference.
The Organizing Committee expects that a volume containing a refereed
selection of submitted papers will be published after the conference.
