Individual paper proposals should include a 250-word abstract, author contact information (postal and email), and a 1-3 page c.v. Organizers of complete sessions should send, in a single submission, abstracts and cvs for all presenters, cvs for session chair and commentator, contact information for all and a brief description of the session.
