Papers are invited on topics that deal with the application of current

the topic, and a summary clearly stating how the topic will be
developed (the reasoning, data, or experimental results to be
presented). Authors are requested to be as specific as possible in
describing their topics. Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail,
where possible. The top lines of the message should contain the
authors name, affiliation, address, phone number, e-mail address, and
the title of the paper.  The body of the abstract should then follow
after 4 blank lines. The heading will be omitted before it is sent to
the members of the paper selection committee. Please do not send
attachments. If submitted by mail, both a disk copy and a hard copy
are to be included. Names are not to appear on the abstract; instead,
a 3x5 card with the above information should be enclosed. Twenty
minutes will be allowed for each presentation.
