 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

 size) will be due by February 14, 1997, and will be published in the
 conference proceedings.

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

 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

 Notification of acceptance of special session proposals will be on January
 10, 1997. If a proposal for a special session is accepted, the authors will
 be required to submit a camera ready copy of their paper for the conference
 proceedings by February 14, 1997.
 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 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. Notification of acceptance of panel session proposals
 will be on January 10, 1997.
