       Instructions for Authors, Special Sessions, Tutorials, & Exhibits

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 All summaries and proposals for tutorials, panels and special sessions must
 be received by the conference Secretariat at the IAFE by December 14, 1997.

 inch size) must be received by Mark Larson at the IAFE by December 14, 1997.
 Centered at the top of the first page should be the paper's complete title,
 author name(s), affiliation(s), and mailing addresses(es). Fonts no smaller
 than 10 pt should be used. Papers must report original work that has not
 been published previously, and is not under consideration for publication
 elsewhere. In the letter accompanying the submission, the following
 information should be included:

    * Topic(s)
    * Full title of paper
    * Corresponding Author's name
    * Mailing address
    * Telephone and fax
    * E-mail (if available)
    * Presenter (If different from corresponding author, please provide name,
      mailing address, etc.)

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Special Sessions
 
 A limited number of special sessions will address subjects within the
 topical scope of the conference. Each special session will consist of from
 four to six papers on a specific topic. Proposals for special sessions will
 be submitted by the session organizer and should include:

    * Topic(s)
    * Title of Special Session
    * Name, address, phone, fax, and email of the Session Organizer
    * List of paper titles with authors' names and addresses
    * One page of summaries of all papers

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Panel Proposals
 
 Proposals for panels addressing topics within the technical scope of the
 conference will be considered. Panel organizers should describe, in two
 pages or less, the objective of the panel and the topic(s) to be addressed.
 Panel sessions should be interactive with panel members and the audience and
 should not be a sequence of paper presentations by the panel members. The
 participants in the panel should be identified. No papers will be published
 from panel activities.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Tutorial Proposals

 Proposals for tutorials addressing subjects within the topical scope of the
 conference will be considered. Proposals for tutorials should describe, in
 two pages or less, the objective of the tutorial and the topic(s) to be
 addressed. A detailed syllabus of the course contents should also be
 included. Most tutorials will be four hours, although proposals for longer
 tutorials will also be considered.
