Unfortunately, only one track had corresponding papers in the proceedings. Would it be possible to publish in the conference proceedings, at the very least the abstracts, and preferably full papers for all tracks? I realize this might lead to an even bulkier and more expensive book, but otherwise I don't have anything to look at for the second track to help me decide which talk to go to or for later reference. --Fuat Internet: fuat@columbia.edu U.S. MAIL: Columbia University BITNET: fuat@cunixc Center for Computing Activities UUCP: ...!rutgers!columbia!cunixf!fuat 712 Watson Labs, 612 W115th St. Phone: (212) 854-5128 Fax: (212) 662-6442 New York, NY 10025

As I come across such papers, I have been building an index using Prospero. At the moment I have only about 12 such papers included. I would be interested in hearing from authors that have made their papers available by FTP so that I could add them to the index. If there is someone that is willing to more actively look for such papers, I can provide the ability for that person to update the index. Prospero makes the set of papers that have been indexed look like they are on a single file system. If you would like more information on Prospero send a message to info-prospero@isi.edu. ~ Cliff
