Following recent changes in the structure of ICSNL conferences, papers will be

been done in the past). Details regarding the submission of papers will be
available at the conference. The deadline for completed papers will be mid-October.

Questions about the conference can be forwarded to: ICSNL44 at umontana.edu

We look forward to seeing you this summer in Montana!
