There will be no meeting proceedings, only an abstract book, for this symposium. However it is hoped to produce longer versions, on a CD, of the data presented for the use of conference participants. If you would like to make such an account available to other participants, please write it as a short paper, not to exceed six pages in length at 6.5 inches or 16.5 cm wide and 9 inches or 23 cm high. You may include any figures you wish, but these must be incorporated into the text together with a caption. These short papers should be submitted as pdf (preferable) or MS Word as a separate file, designed to immediately follow the abstract, without further repeating the title. The file should be named with your surname and the word paper, e.g., smith paper.doc. They will be copied to the CD as submitted without editing. They will not constitute a publication and therefore should not be a referenced by other participants. These mini papers may be submitted at the same time as the abstract, or at a later date but prior to May 1st. This CD will be handed to participants at registration.
