Shapiro ( University of Washington). PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEWING PROCESS ====================================== Authors should submit four copies of a full paper to Leila De Floriani - ICIAP '95 DISI - University of Genova Viale Benedetto XV, 3 I -16132 Genova (Italy). Paper length is typically four A4 and cannot exceed six A4 pages. The first page should be anonymous, containing only the title of the paper, a 200-words abstract and 3-5 keywords. A separate page including the title, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), the abstract, the keywords and the addressed topic of the conference must accompany the paper. Papers submitted by fax or e-mail will not be reviewed.
