Call for Papers

Submission of papers has been closed on September 30, 2002.

The submitted extended abstracts are also used for the proceedings volume of this symposium. So the authors are requested to prepare the extended abstracts very carefully, because there is no chance of revision or correction.

We expect that most participants will submit full version of their papers to some journals, independently of this symposium.
