notes for current NIPS authors and future submitters

[Dave_Touretzky@DST.BOLTZ.CS.CMU.EDU]

1. For current authors (those who presented papers at NIPS-93 and are now
preparing the final camera-ready copy), a message from Jack Cowan:

  The deadline conditions for papers sent to Morgan Kauffman has been  
  modified. For papers mailed in the US or Canada, a postmark of  
  January 7 will suffice. For papers mailed from elsewhere, the receipt  
  date of January 7 still applies.  
	 Jack Cowan, NIPS*93 General Chair

2. For future NIPS submitters:

Unlike in previous years, NIPS-94 submissions will require full drafts of
papers rather than 1000-word extended abstracts.  People are encouraged
(but not required) to submit their papers using the NIPS proceedings style.
(Authors will still have a chance to revise their papers after the
conference, as before.)  LaTeX style files are available by anonymous FTP
from:

  helper.systems.caltech.edu (131.215.68.12) in /pub/nips
  b.gp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.242.8) in /usr/dst/public/nips

Full details of the new submission requirements will be given in the
NIPS*94 call for papers, which will appear later this month.
