Apr. 1, 1987: Authors informed of acceptance or rejection.
May 15, 1987: A final copy of each accepted paper due, typed
on special forms for inclusion in the conference
proceedings.
Please send twelve copies of a detailed abstract (not the complete paper),
with the address, telephone number, and "net address" (if available) of a
contact author on the cover page, to the Program Chair:

The abstract must provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee
to assess the merits of the paper and should include appropriate
references to and comparisons with extant work. It is recommended that
each submission begin with a succinct statement of the problem, a summary
of the main results, and a brief explanation of the significance and
relevance to the conference's topic of the work, all suitable for a
nonspecialist. Technical development of the work, directed to the
specialist, should follow. A limit of 10 typed double-spaced pages is
placed on submissions. If the authors believe that more details essential
to prove the main claims of the paper, then they may include a clearly
marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the Program
Committee.
Abstracts that deviate significantly from these guidelines, risk rejection
without consideration of their merits. Also, abstracts that are not
postmarked by the Jan. 15th deadline will not be considered.
