CONDITION OF ACCEPTANCE :

        Authors are expected to secure travel and accomodation funding,
independent of the organizers, through their sponsoring organizations
before submitting extended abstracts. Only original material should be
submitted.
        Extended abstracts should contain enough detail to clearly
convey
the approach and the results of the research (at least four A4 pages).
