 Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
 =================================
 Papers should be a maximum of 15 pages in length (in single or double
 column), formatted using at least a 10 point font and 1 inch margins.
 Please number the pages. (These are review copies. Instructions for
 final paper preparation will be available at the workshop website.)
 This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices
 and so forth. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. Shorter papers are
 both reasonable and encouraged. Reviewers will favor clarity and crispness
 of presentation over length.

 Undergraduate and Postgraduate students are strongly encouraged to submit
 papers in the students' track.

 Please submit papers in MS_Word, postscript or PDF format by email to
 either of the program chairs. Please make sure that your paper 
 is readable in black-and-white print. This is especially true 
 for plots and graphs in the paper. Please avoid the use of color, 
 particularly to convey important content or meaning. Questions 
 about the  workshop content, paper preparation, etc. may also be 
 emailed to them. 

 Tutorial Submission Guidelines:
 ===============================
 Proposals for half- or full-day tutorials are solicited related to the
 topics of interest. Proposals should include the abstract of the tutorial
 and brief biography of the speaker(s). Proposals should be emailed to the
 tutorial chairs by the paper submission deadline.
