To submit a proposal, send the title and a 500 word description to the Sessions Coordinator at the address below. Submissions must include the sponsoring SIG(s) and/or organization(s); the name and complete address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address of the organizer (contact person); and the names, positions, and affiliations of presenters and other session participants such as moderators, reactors, etc. You are encouraged to submit your proposal by e-mail or to send an ASCII text file on a 3-1/2 disk along with a hard copy.
All proposals for panels, technical sessions, and other presentations must be received by the DEADLINES.
The conference committee will make all decisions regarding acceptance of these sessions based on relevance to the conference themes, timeliness, and innovation.
