of the program committee, Prof. Masayoshi Shibatani (address below),

be attached to the abstract listing data. E-mail submissions are
also accepted. The program committee will, by May 1, 1997, convey
its decision to those submitting abstracts.

Each abstract should include the author's (or authors') name and
mailing address (just one mailing address for
multiple authors) including telephone, fax, and e-mail address
as available. Each abstract should specify the amount of time
requested for the presentation, including discussion, which may
be 30, 45, or 60 minutes. You may also submit abstracts for

60 minutes).
