Abstracts can be a full page in length, figures may be included, but do not go over the one page limit. Use the paper style guidelines for abstract style.

For presentations at distributed sites abstracts must be submitted to the chair of the distributed site. State clearly which SIG it is to be considered for inclusion. Please do not submit abstracts for consideration to more than one SIG chair. Faxed abstracts will be accepted only under special circumstances. Abstracts should be submitted by January 15, 2001
The abstracts will be reviewed and the acceptance of papers will be based on the reviews.

Papers presented at distributed sites will be included in published proceedings from the main site at Asilomar on one CD ROM therefore all papers submitted to distributed sites must follow the same time schedule for submitting abstracts and final papers utilizing the same style guidelines as those submitted to Asilomar.
If your paper is intended for a specific SIG, please submit it both to Jennifer Wilby and the appropriate SIG chair. Jennifer Wilby must receive both hard and disc copies of your paper by April 2st , 2001. The SIG chair may only require a hard copy.
