Submission Guidelines
---------------------

Technical Papers

  Technical papers describing previously unpublished research results
  are solicited. Although we will give appropriate consideration to all
  submissions, we expect to favor submissions with new, if not entirely
  fleshed out, ideas over meticulous but incremental work. Paper
  manuscripts should not exceed 5,000 words, and should not have been
  previously published (or be under consideration for publication) in
  part or in full. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in
  printable postscript or PDF form. All submissions will be reviewed by
  the Program Committee members for appropriateness to the workshop,
  for originality, and for technical merits. Accepted papers will be
  presented at the workshop and published in the workshop proceedings.
  In the past, selected papers were published in a special issue of a
  leading journal and we anticipate being able to do the same this year
  (details to follow).

  The deadline for technical paper submissions is March 9, 2001.
  
  Details of the submission procedure will be posted on the workshop's
  web page in due time.

Research and Development Synopses

  Short abstracts describing experiences with experimental or
  commercial systems or works in progress are solicited. Synopsis
  manuscripts should not exceed 10 double-spaced pages ( including
  figures and tables). Manuscripts must be submitted electronically
  in printable postscript or PDF form. All submissions will be
  reviewed by the Program Committee members for appropriateness to the
  workshop. Accepted synopses will be presented at the workshop and
  will be published in the workshop proceedings.

  The deadline for accepting research and development synopsis
  submissions is March 9, 2001.

  Details of the submission procedure will be posted on this page in
  due time.

Proposals for Panel and BOF Sessions

  Proposals for Panels and BOF sessions are solicited. Please send
  proposals to the Program Committee co-chairs. The deadline for
  accepting research and development synopsis submissions is March 9,
  2001.
