Panel Sessions & Tutorials
The organizers of WCNC 2000 are accepting proposals for Tutorials and Panel Sessions. Tutorials are
half-day or full-day sessions that are intended to provide in-depth learning on a specific topic of
interest to the participants. 

Panel Sessions are 90 minutes long. They present leaders in a particular area discussing a topic of
interest to the attendees of WCNC 2000. There is usually significant audience participation in Panel
sessions. 

Proposals for Tutorials and Panel Sessions should consist of a 250 word summary, a 100 word
abstract, and a cover page listing the name, affiliation, complete return address, telephone, e-mail, and
facsimile information for the proposer. Summaries should be submitted electronically (MS Word, rtf,
