HOW TO PARTICIPATE

You are invited to contribute a presentation for this conference in one of the following formats.

MINISYMPOSIA

A minisymposium will consist of four 25-minute presentations with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not to exceed 100 words), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations using the Conference Management System available at: archive.siam.org/meetings/an04/part.htm

To ensure balance, it is preferred that a single individual not be the organizer of more than one minisymposium. SIAM also requests that individuals limit themselves to giving one talk. (This does not apply to Invited Plenary or Topical speakers). The co-chairs of the organizing committee may make exceptions to this request.

It is recommended that the minisymposium organizer make the first presentation. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 75-word abstract. Minisymposium proposals will be refereed by the Organizing Committee. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.

Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: December 16, 2003

Deadline Extended to Jan. 27, 2004

CONTRIBUTED PRESENTATIONS IN LECTURE (OR POSTER) FORMAT

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas consistent with the conference themes. A lecture format involves a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. A poster format involves the use of non-electronic visual aids for mounting on a 4' x 6' poster board. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor, either for a lecture or a poster, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 75 words.
