PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
Each technical session will have 5/6 paper presentations. The session chairs
will be responsible in selecting the papers for their own sessions. The
names of session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference
proceedings. Proposals to organize technical sessions should include the
following information: name and address (+ E-mail) of proposer, title of

Mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia (address is given below); E-mail submissions
are preferred.
EVALUATION OF PAPERS:
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness.
Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. The
Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person. Please refer to the
